Transportation of non-standard pipe products

Transportation of pipes requires experience and professionalism from a logistics company because most of the structures for transportation are bulky and unstable, which can cause an accident on the road. Such truck transportation is cost-effective, fast, and most convenient. Trucks are used for products up to four meters in length, and semi-trailers for long products.

Features of pipe transportation by road, in accordance with established standards

The specificity of the task of transporting pipes is explained by the unstable position of this type of cargo. It needs to be secured properly, otherwise transportation with a body or platform can lead to damage to the cargo and even endanger the lives of road users.

Before transportation, pipe products are tied into packages depending on their size, namely

• Pipes with a diameter of up to 160 mm are tightly packed in bags, crates or wooden containers.
• Transport bags are used to bundle pipes with diameters of 160-250 mm and cold-formed pipes up to 450 mm.
• Large-diameter pipes are stacked individually on the platform of a truck tractor or low-frame trawl.

Reliable fastening systems are used, such as chains, cradles, and belts. For fixing cylindrical steel products, we use tapers – special devices that secure the load and also serve as stiffeners. If the pipes are larger than the length of the vehicle, then the protruding ends should be marked with red lights or bright red material.

Stages of ordering and executing pipe transportation

The order is fulfilled as follows:
