At Cosmatos Group, we’re experts in handling even the most challenging transportation projects. Our latest success story involves the pick-up and delivery of an oversized side loader from Patras port to Thisvi, Greece.

The Challenge: A High-Value, Heavy Lift

This was no ordinary transport. The cargo was a specialized side loader, a crucial piece of equipment with significant dimensions and weight:

• Dimensions: 800 cm x 360 cm x 395 cm (H)
• Weight: 47,500 kg (47.5 metric tons)

Moving a load of this size and weight required a specialized approach, including meticulous route planning, obtaining the necessary permits, and using a dedicated fleet. The journey from Patras port, a major transit hub, to the industrial area of Thisvi demanded a logistics partner with proven expertise.

Our Solution: Precision and Flawless Execution

Our team at Cosmatos Group rose to the occasion. We managed every detail of the operation:

1. Strategic Planning: We conducted a thorough route survey to identify the optimal path from Patras to Thisvi, avoiding any obstacles that could impede the transport of such a large and heavy unit.
2. Permit Acquisition: Our in-house specialists secured all the required permits for the transport of an oversized load, ensuring full compliance with Greek road regulations.
3. Specialized Haulage: We deployed a suitable heavy-duty truck and trailer, perfectly matched to the dimensions and weight of the side loader, guaranteeing its safe and secure transport.
4. On-site Coordination: Our experienced crew was on-site at Patras port to supervise the loading and lashing of the side loader onto the truck, ensuring it was secured for the journey.

The Result: Delivered On Time, On Spec

The project was a complete success. The side loader was picked up from Patras port and delivered to its destination in Thisvi without any delays or complications. This project is another example of how Cosmatos Group provides reliable, start-to-finish logistics solutions for even the most demanding oversized and heavy-lift cargo.
