Abnormal Load Transport in Botswana

CTS East is a leading provider of abnormal load transport into and across Botswana. We specialise in moving oversize, overweight, and sensitive loads safely and efficiently, with all the permits, escorts, and planning required to meet local regulations.

What Counts as an Abnormal Load?

Abnormal loads are vehicles or cargo that exceed standard legal limits for size or weight. Typical examples include:

• Construction equipment
• Mining machinery
• Industrial and energy equipment
• Pre-built homes or E-Houses
• Aircraft components
• Structural steel and beams

Transporting these loads safely requires specialised trailers, experienced drivers, and careful route planning.

• Permit applications with Botswana’s Department of Roads and transport authorities
