Recently, GAC Norway completed an impressive logistics operation, relocating approximately 150 tons of cargo from our warehouse in Vestby to a new storage facility in Moss. Among the 17 units moved, one particular load stood out—a massive 49-ton piece, measuring nearly 5 meters in length, width, and height.
The Challenge of Moving a 49-Ton Load
Moving a load of this size and weight is no small task. At nearly 5 meters in all directions, the cargo required a specialized transport plan to ensure it could be moved safely and efficiently. To avoid traffic disruptions, the transport was conducted at night, with escort vehicles leading and following the truck throughout the journey.
The oversized dimensions also required a police escort in certain sections to ensure public safety and allow the load to pass through key areas without incident. In some places, temporary road closures were necessary to give the transport enough space to navigate. This level of coordination and precision is essential when handling heavy-lift logistics, where even minor details can make a big difference.

This operation highlights GAC Norway’s expertise in managing oversized and heavy cargo.
