Transporting heavy equipment on public roads in the UAE is a specialised operation that requires proper permits, experienced drivers, and the right low-loader trailer.
Permits and Regulations
The Abu Dhabi DOT and respective emirate authorities require oversize load permits for any equipment exceeding standard vehicle dimensions. Your transport provider should handle the permit application process, including route planning.
Equipment Loading and Securing
- Pre-transport inspection – Document the machine condition, including photos, before loading.
- Proper loading ramps – Use rated ramps matched to the equipment weight.
- Chain securing – Minimum four-point tie-down with rated chains at approved anchor points.
- Escort vehicles – Required for oversize loads to warn other road users.
