- Road By road
How it works
5 steps, one desk
- 1 Send the load drawing Length, width, height, weight and lifting points, with origin, destination and date.
- 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 Permits Where required, permission is taken from MoRTH/NHAI for national highways and the state authority for state roads.
- 4 Loading and lashing You load with your crane; the load is chocked and lashed to the trailer.
- 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
