# What is ODC and heavy machinery transport?

Short answer

Over-dimensional cargo (ODC) is any load wider, taller, longer or heavier than a standard truck may carry without special permission. Our experience is specific: construction and farm machinery on semi-low-bed and flatbed trailers, including plant-to-port moves to Nhava Sheva for export.

Safe & Secure Logistics moves over-length and heavy machinery on hired semi-low-bed, low-bed and flatbed trailers. Typical users: Construction-equipment and farm-machinery manufacturers. ~78 moves on semi-low-bed, low-bed, high-bed and flatbed trailers. Tell our desk your route and load and it will confirm how this works for you.
