Moving Oversized Cargo Without the Headache

Transporting cargo that doesn’t fit standard dimensions isn’t just difficult — it requires real planning, experience, and the right equipment. That’s where Lobina comes in.

We specialise in out of gauge cargo transport, helping businesses move oversized, heavy, and complex loads across Europe safely and efficiently. Whether it’s large machinery, construction components, or specialist equipment, we handle every detail so you don’t have to worry.

What Counts as Out of Gauge Cargo?

In simple terms, out of gauge cargo is anything that’s too large or irregular to fit within standard transport limits.

This often includes:

  • Heavy industrial machinery
  • Construction and infrastructure materials
  • Oversized vehicles or equipment
  • Project cargo with unusual dimensions

These types of shipments can’t just be “loaded and sent” — they need proper planning, permits, and expert handling.
