Abnormal load transport in Lesotho

CTS East specialises in abnormal and heavy haulage into and across Lesotho. We combine permit management, mountain-route surveying, pilot-car coordination and the right lowbed configurations to deliver oversized cargo safely in this high-altitude country.
 

Permits & legal notes

Movements that exceed legal width, height, length or axle loads require a special permit — Lesotho’s Road Traffic Regulations allow for special permits to be issued on application to the licensing authority. We prepare and submit the required paperwork so your move complies with local conditions.
 

Mountain routes — what to expect

Two-thirds of Lesotho is mountainous with steep gradients, narrow passes and rapidly changing weather; this makes route surveys essential. We map low bridges, tight bends and seasonal hazards (snow, rockfall or washaways) so your transport plan is realistic and safe.
 

Escorts & safety measures

Typical permit conditions include specific vehicle marking, warning boards, amber beacons and pilot-car or police escort requirements for certain dimensions. We apply TRH11 best practices for abnormal loads and coordinate escorts to meet permit conditions.
