Exceptional transport or abnormal transport applies to loads that exceed the normal legal maximum dimensions and weights for a ‘normal’ transport. In this sector Nooteboom is a leader in innovating and manufacturing appropriate, high-quality solutions for the transport of any kind of abnormal load. The transport of abnormal loads with our advanced equipment requires a certain level of expertise and knowledge of the equipment, all the deviating regulatory requirements and of course a different style of driving on the road.
The course Driver self-propelled equipment ensures the safe and responsible transport of self-propelled equipment on semi low–loaders and low-loaders and/or drawbar trailers on the Dutch road network. We are talking about transports that require the driver to load and unload self-propelled equipment or crawling equipment on the vehicle, using ramps, steel planking or wedges.
