to the British Midlands range from €4,500 to €9,500 per project (all-inclusive cost: permits, escorts, route surveys), depending on dimensions, weight and the level of escort required.

A conventional Spain–UK FTL shipment costs between €2,595 and €4,360 (median €3,221). Door-to-door delivery time for complete exceptional projects: 5 to 10 working days.

What is special transportation and when is it needed?

Special transportation services are all those that transport excess weight or measurements in the cargo with respect to those that are maximum allowed according to the vehicle regulations.

Therefore, a fleet and specific equipment are needed capable of guaranteeing the integrity of both the merchandise, the vehicle and the material assets that surround it.

These transportation services are designed for loads that cannot be moved with standard operations, either due to their dimensions, weight, fragility, value, handling requirements or the complexity of the collection/delivery.

In practice, they are considered “special” when the shipment requires extra planning and coordination, for example:

  • Industrial machinery and equipment (heavy or bulky loads).
  • Oversized loads or loads with unusual measurements.
  • High-value or delicate merchandise that requires specific support and control.

Complex operations: difficult access, no dock, need for a crane/hatch, strict schedules, deliveries on site or events.

Projects with a critical deadline, where an incident affects production, assembly or supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Special Transportation

Como referencia orientativa: una pieza de 18 m × 3,5 m × 4 m, 35 t Madrid-Lyon ronda los 6.500-9.000 € + IVA (depende de necesidad de escolta, fechas de permiso y restricciones horarias en Francia). Incluye estudio de ruta, expedientes en España y Francia, vehículo piloto en tramos con anchura crítica, descansos programados y entrega coordinada con receptor. Mándanos dimensiones reales, peso, puntos de izado, fechas de planta y código postal de descarga: presupuesto cerrado por escrito en menos de 2 horas laborales.

Plazos medios reales últimos 12 meses: permiso DGT Tipo 2 (hasta 4 m ancho o 4,50 m alto) sale en 3-5 días laborables, Tipo 3 (hasta 5 m ancho, 5 m alto o 50 t) 5-10 días, Tipo 4 (cargas extraordinarias) 10-20 días laborables. Para Europa los plazos varían: Francia 7-10 días, Alemania 5-8 días, Italia 10-15 días, Reino Unido 5-7 días post-Brexit. Tramitamos el expediente desde nuestro departamento técnico, te enviamos copia del permiso y de la hoja de ruta autorizada antes de la salida.

Antes de cotizar hacemos estudio de ruta puerta a puerta con software cartográfico especializado: identificamos pasos elevados, gálibos de puentes, rotondas con radio insuficiente, tendidos eléctricos y de telefonía que requieran retirada temporal. Coordinamos con compañías eléctricas (Iberdrola, Endesa, Naturgy), guardia civil de tráfico y ayuntamientos para permisos de ocupación. En casos extremos (palas eólicas de 75 m a parque rural), hacemos viaje técnico previo en coche con responsable de ruta para validar cada kilómetro. Toda esa coordinación está incluida en el presupuesto cerrado.

Moving an oversized cargo between Spain and the United Kingdom requires four steps: (1) a technical route study to identify low bridges and sections with tonnage limitation; (2) application for permits to the General Directorate of Traffic in Spain (exceptional transport) and to National Highways in the United Kingdom (Special Order); (3) coordination of escorts — Civil Guard for loads over 3.5 m wide or 25 m long in Spain, and self-escort vehicles in the United Kingdom over 3 m wide; (4) transport by gondola or hydraulic modular platform with 4 to 12 axles. The total cost of the project usually ranges between €4,500 and €9,500 door to door.

A load is classified as exceptional (exceptional transport in Spain, abnormal load in the United Kingdom) when it exceeds any of these limits:

  • Width greater than 2.55 meters (Spain) or 2.9 meters (United Kingdom)
  • Height greater than 4.0 meters
  • Length greater than 16.5 meters in articulated vehicles
  • Maximum authorized mass greater than 40 tons (44 in some European configurations) in Spain, or greater than 44 tons in the United Kingdom in standard 6-axle combinations

Cargoes that exceed these thresholds require special permits, escorts and pre-notified routes.

DGT permits under the exceptional transport regime are usually issued in 3 to 8 business days, depending on regional complexity (Castilla y León is usually faster than Catalonia or Andalusia). UK Special Orders managed by National Highways take 5 business days in standard movements and up to 10 working days in combinations exceeding 4.0 m in width or 30 m in length. We process requests in parallel to minimize the total time: a typical Spain-UK project takes 8 to 14 days from booking to vehicle departure.

Spain (Royal Decree 2822/1998 and modifications):

  • Civil Guard escort: width greater than 3.5 m, length greater than 25 m, gross weight greater than 60 tons
  • Double escort: width greater than 4.5 m, height greater than 4.5 m, length greater than 35 m

United Kingdom (Schedule 9 Road Vehicles Authorization Order):

  • Self-escort vehicle: width greater than 3.0 m, length greater than 27.4 m
  • Police notification: width greater than 3.5 m, gross weight greater than 80 tons

Nuestra plataforma modular hidráulica más pesada combina hasta múltiples ejes con una payload of 120 tons in single piece. For higher loads we coordinate split transports or pair self-propelled tractor units with double modular configurations — we have moved parts weighing up to 180 tonnes using synchronized modular combinations between Iberian power stations and British distribution plants.

Yes. We move wind turbine blades up to 75 meters in length on extendable telescopic semi-trailers in our Spain-United Kingdom corridor. We collect from factories in Castellón, Tarragona or Bilbao and deliver to wind farms in Scotland, northern England or Wales. Each shovel movement requires a technical route study, turn analysis in each roundabout over 60 m in diameter and coordination of Civil Guard + self-escort UK escorts. Deadline: 3 to 4 weeks from reservation.
