What is Abnormal Transport?

An abnormal load refers to any cargo that exceeds the legal size or weight limits set by South African road regulations. These typically include:

  • Oversized agricultural or mining equipment

  • Heavy industrial machines

  • Yellow metal and construction equipment

  • Ground engaging tools (GET)

  • Wide, long, or tall freight

Transporting these loads is complex and potentially dangerous if not handled correctly. That's why it’s vital to work with a company like Jacobs Transport — experienced in abnormal transport logistics, route planning, permitting, and safety compliance.
