Kirwan Haulage provides abnormal load transport in Dublin, managing the complete logistics of moving oversized, overweight, and unusually shaped cargo through Ireland's busiest urban area. We handle everything from permit applications to route surveys, escort vehicles, and Garda liaison - giving you a single point of contact for what can be a complex and stressful operation.
Dublin presents unique challenges for abnormal load transport. The city's road network includes narrow streets, low bridges, tight roundabouts, and significant traffic congestion. Our team has extensive experience planning routes through Dublin that avoid these obstacles, working with Dublin City Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland to secure the necessary permits and traffic management arrangements. For loads that exceed standard height, width, or weight limits, we coordinate night-time movements when traffic is lightest and road closures are more practical.
Common abnormal loads we transport in Dublin include transformer units for ESB substations, large structural steel sections for construction projects, prefabricated building modules, industrial machinery, and oversized tanks for pharmaceutical and chemical processing plants. Each consignment requires a bespoke transport plan, and our operations team develops these plans well in advance of the move date to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day.
Our abnormal load fleet includes specialist low-loader trailers, extendable trailers for extra-long loads, and wide-load escort vehicles fitted with flashing beacons and signage. Every abnormal load movement is supervised by an experienced transport manager, and our drivers hold the specialist licences and training certificates required for oversized transport. We carry comprehensive cargo insurance and operate under our ISO 9001 quality management system, so your valuable cargo is protected at every stage.
