How it works

5 steps, one desk

  1. 1 Send the load drawing Length, width, height, weight and lifting points, with origin, destination and date.
  2. 2 Trailer and route check The desk matches the trailer (flatbed, semi-low-bed, low-bed) and checks whether the load needs ODC permission and escorts on the route.
  3. 3 Permits Where required, permission is taken from MoRTH/NHAI for national highways and the state authority for state roads.
  4. 4 Loading and lashing You load with your crane; the load is chocked and lashed to the trailer.
  5. 5 Move and deliver The trailer runs the permitted route and window; the POD closes the move.

What it is

ODC & heavy machinery, plainly

Safe & Secure Logistics moves over-length and heavy machinery on hired semi-low-bed, low-bed and flatbed trailers. It made about 78 such moves in the year to August 2026, mostly construction and farm equipment between plants and ports.

How it works, in detail

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.

We say it plainly: this is a small book. SSL does not own hydraulic axles and has not run transformer, wind-blade or large project-cargo moves at scale. For those, our desk will tell you honestly whether a vetted specialist partner can take it.

Per trip by trailer type, distance, permits and escorts, quoted after we see the load drawing. Our desk confirms the price for your exact load, usually within minutes on WhatsApp or a call.

Who it’s for

  • Construction-equipment and farm-machinery manufacturers
  • Exporters moving machinery to a port
  • Plants relocating a single heavy machine

What travels with the load

  • Load drawing with dimensions and weight
  • Invoice and e-way bill (ODC validity is 1 day per 20 km)
  • Route permission where the load exceeds legal dimensions
  • Escort arrangements where the permit requires them

ODC & heavy machinery: questions buyers ask

Does Safe & Secure Logistics move ODC cargo?
Yes, on a small scale. Safe & Secure Logistics arranges semi-low-bed, low-bed, high-bed and flatbed trailers for over-length machinery: about 78 such moves in the year to August 2026, mostly construction and farm equipment.
What is ODC in India?
Over-dimensional cargo is a load beyond the legal vehicle envelope: wider than 2.6 m, taller than the height limit or longer than the length limit under CMVR Rule 93, or heavier than permitted axle loads. It needs prior road-authority permission.
Who issues ODC permits in India?
MoRTH/NHAI grant online permission for ODC and overweight consignments on national highways, including modular hydraulic trailer moves; state PWD or transport departments cover state roads.
Does SSL own hydraulic axles?
No. Safe & Secure Logistics does not own hydraulic-axle (modular) trailers. For loads that need them, our desk will tell you honestly whether a specialist partner can take the move.
Can SSL move machinery to a port for export?
Yes. Safe & Secure Logistics has moved construction equipment on semi-low-bed trailers from central India to Nhava Sheva.
When do I need a semi-low-bed trailer?
When the machine is too tall for a flatbed within the height limit. A semi-low-bed lowers the deck so taller machinery stays within limits; taller or heavier loads need a low-bed or hydraulic axle.
Does SSL handle transformers or wind-turbine blades?
Not today. These need hydraulic axles, route surveys and specialist crews. Talk to our desk; we will not overstate what we can do.
What documents does an ODC move need?
A load drawing, weight details, invoice and e-way bill (ODC validity is 1 day per 20 km), route permission where limits are exceeded, and escorts where the permit requires.
How is ODC transport priced?
Per trip, by trailer type, distance, permits and escorts. Safe & Secure Logistics quotes after seeing the load drawing.
