Exceeding the limits of any of the indicators - OUTSIZE TRANSPORTATION.
- back max 2m, side 40cm
- Cargo protruding beyond the dimensions of the vehicle in front and behind by more than 1 m or laterally by more than 0.4 m from the outer edge side light, must be marked with identification marks " Oversized cargo". When transporting bulky goods at night and in conditions of insufficient visibility, in addition, the pile must be indicated in front - by a lantern or retroreflector white color, behind - a lantern or a red reflector.
Transportation of oversized cargo and movement of a vehicle, the overall parameters of which, with or without cargo, exceed 2.55 m in width (2.6 m - for refrigerators and isothermal bodies), 4 m in height from the surface of the carriageway, in length (including one trailer) 20 m, or the movement of a vehicle with a load protruding beyond the rear point of the vehicle's dimensions by more than 2 m is carried out in accordance with special rules.
In practice, the protrusion of the cargo to the side is measured from the marker lights, the protrusion back - FROM THE EXTREME POINT OF THE BODY (trailer). If back is more than 1 meter, but less than 2, then you need to designate the load, and not with a red rag, but with a sign or lantern. If it protrudes less than 1 meter, you can not do this. If it protrudes more than 2 meters, then you cannot go without special permission.

1 . General provisions
1.1. The provisions set forth in these standards relate to the mass and dimensions of vehicles permitted for use in the Russian Federation on public roads, established based on the requirements for ensuring road safety, reliability and safety of roads and road structures, taking into account their bearing capacity and load capacity. The following restrictions on the weight and dimensions of vehicles do not apply to the production of vehicles, the requirements for which are established by other standards and norms. 1.2. Vehicles or parts thereof that form part of combined vehicles, the dimensions, as well as the total mass and axle load of which do not exceed the values established by sections 3, 4 and 5 of these standards, are allowed to travel on federal and territorial public roads. For other highways designed and built for loads less than those specified in sections 3, 4 and 5, the owners of roads may set other (lower) maximum values for the mass of vehicles, for federal highways - by the Federal Road Service of Russia, for territorial roads roads - bodies executive power subjects of the Russian Federation, for municipal highways - by bodies local government . Decisions to reduce the dimensions and weights of vehicles listed below are based on the results of a road survey and may be permanent or temporary. At the same time, the body that made such a decision is obliged, in accordance with the established procedure, to install appropriate traffic signs on the highway or its section, where additional restrictions on the mass and size of vehicles are introduced and inform road users about this. 1.3. A vehicle and its part forming a combined vehicle, the mass and/or axle load of which and/or the size of which exceed the maximum values established by these standards, may travel on roads only if there are special permits issued in the prescribed manner by the competent authorities. The movement of such vehicles on roads is carried out in accordance with the "Instructions for the transportation of bulky and heavy goods by road on the roads of the Russian Federation", approved by the Ministry of Transport of Russia on May 27, 1996. 1.4. In addition to the limit values of the total mass and axle loads established by these requirements, the mass of the transported cargo and the distribution of the load along the axles must not exceed the values \u200b\u200bestablished by the manufacturer for a particular vehicle. 1.5. For the purposes of these standards, the following concepts and definitions are used: Vehicle - a device designed for the carriage of goods and passengers on roads; Truck - a vehicle designed and built exclusively or primarily for the carriage of goods; Tractor - a vehicle designed and built exclusively or primarily for towing a trailer or semi-trailer; Trailer - a vehicle intended for the carriage of goods by towing by a tractor or truck; Semi-trailer - specially equipped for the carriage of goods, designed to be connected to a tractor in such a way that a part of this vehicle is located directly on the tractor and transfers a significant proportion of its weight to it; Road train - a combined vehicle consisting of a truck and a trailer; Articulated vehicle - a combined vehicle consisting of a tractor, articulated with a semi-trailer; Bus - a vehicle designed to carry passengers and their luggage, with more than nine seats, including a driver's seat; Articulated bus- a bus consisting of two or more rigid sections connected to each other and having a passenger compartment in each section, allowing passengers to move freely from one compartment to another; Combined vehicle- combination of a truck, consisting of a truck connected to a semi-trailer; The maximum length, width and height of the vehicle - length, width and height of the vehicle with or without cargo, not exceeding the values specified in section 3 of these standards; Maximum linear parameters of the vehicle - linear parameters not exceeding the values specified in section 3 of these standards; Maximum vehicle weight- the mass of the vehicle with or without cargo, which does not exceed the values specified in section 4 of these standards; - mass transmitted through the axle of the vehicle to the surface highway, not exceeding normative value;Indivisible cargo- cargo which, when transported by road, cannot be divided into two or more parts without undue cost or risk of deterioration and which, when loaded onto a vehicle, would exceed its maximum dimensions and mass; Air suspension- a suspension system in which the damping element is air; Cart- two or more axles having a common suspension to the vehicle; single axle- an axle of a vehicle located at a distance of more than 1.8 m from the nearest axle of this vehicle; close axes- axes (two or more) of the vehicle, located at a distance between them of less than 1.8 m.2. Measuring the mass and dimensions of vehicles
2.1. Vehicle length is measured in accordance with ISO 612-1978 paragraph 6.1. However, when measuring length in accordance with the provisions of this standard, the following devices mounted on the vehicle are not taken into account: glass cleaner and mudguards; front and side marking plates; devices for sealing and protective devices for them; devices for fixing tarpaulins and protective devices for them; electrical lighting equipment; rear view mirrors; devices for viewing the space behind the car; air tubes; length of valves and connectors for connection to trailers or swap bodies; steps for access to the body; lift for a note tire; lifting platforms, access steps and similar equipment not exceeding 200 mm in working position and designed so that they cannot increase limit weight car loading; coupling devices for towing vehicles or trailers. 2.2. Vehicle height is measured in accordance with ISO 612-1978 paragraph 6.3. Moreover, when measuring the height, taking into account the provisions of this standard, the following devices mounted on the vehicle should not be taken into account: antennas; pantograph in raised position. For vehicles equipped with an axle lifting device, the effect of this device is taken into account. 2.3. Vehicle width is measured in accordance with ISO 612-1978 paragraph 6.2. When measuring the width of a vehicle, taking into account the provisions of this standard, the following devices mounted on a vehicle should not be taken into account: devices for seals and seals and protective devices for them; devices for fixing tarpaulins and protective devices for them; devices for identifying damage to tires ; protruding flexible parts of mudguards; lighting equipment; steps in working position, suspended platforms and similar equipment which, in working position, do not exceed 10 mm on each side of the vehicle and facing forward or backward, the corners of which are rounded with a radius of at least 5 mm, and the edges of which are rounded with a radius of at least 2 .5 mm; rearview mirrors; tire pressure indicators; retractable or retractable steps; the curved portion of a tire's surface that extends beyond its point of contact with the ground. 2.4. The axle mass of the vehicle is measured at dynamic vertical load transmitted through a single axle to the road surface from a loaded car. The measurement is carried out by special automobile scales that have passed certification in the prescribed manner. The axle weight of a bogie located on one suspension, taking into account the design of the vehicle, is determined as the sum of the measurements of the mass of each of the axles included in the bogie. 2.5. Full mass of a vehicle or part thereof forming part of a combined vehicle is defined as the sum of the measured masses of all axles of the vehicle or part thereof.3 . Maximum dimensions and other vehicle parameters
The maximum dimensions of vehicles, taking into account the dimensions of swap bodies and containers for cargo, including containers, must not exceed the values given below. 3.1. Maximum length: truck - 12.00 m trailer - 12.00 m articulated vehicle - 16.5 m articulated bus - 18.00 m road train - 20.00 m 3.2. Maximum width: all vehicles - 2.50 m 3.3 . Maximum height - 4.00 m 3.4 . Max distance between the axis of constipation of the coupling device and back semi-trailer must not exceed 12.00 m. 3.5. The maximum distance measured parallel to the longitudinal axis of the road train from the outer front point of the body or platform for placing the load behind the cab to the rear outer point of the trailer, minus the distance between the rear of the tractor and the front of the trailer, must not exceed 15.65 m. 3.6. The maximum distance, measured parallel to the longitudinal axis of the road train, from the outer front point of the body or platform for placing cargo behind the cab to the rear outer point of the semi-trailer must not exceed 16.40 m. 3.7. The load installed in the body of the vehicle must not protrude beyond the rear outer point of the vehicle or trailer by more than 2.00 m. 3.8. The distance between rear axle truck and the front axle of the trailer must be at least 3.00 m. 3.9. The horizontally measured distance between the pivot point of the semi-trailer and any point of the front part of the semi-trailer shall not exceed 2.04 m. 3.10. Any vehicle, when moving, must be able to turn within the space limited by an outer radius of 12.50 m and an inner radius of 5.30 m. 3.11.

IN passenger car cargo can be transported in the cabin, and in the trunk, and on the trunk. But subject to certain requirements.
1. Transportation of cargo is prohibited if it limits the driver's view.
If the load being transported obscures the rear view, this is only permissible if the vehicle is equipped with exterior rear-view mirrors on both sides.
However, if the cargo closes the view on the right or left, or, God forbid, in front, then the transportation of such cargo is strictly prohibited.
2. Transportation of cargo is prohibited if it makes it difficult to drive a vehicle.
To place the load, the driver pushed his seat forward a lot.
Now it will be difficult to drive a car. And, therefore, such transportation of goods is prohibited.
3. Transportation of cargo is prohibited if it violates the stability of the vehicle.
The vehicle is sensitive to a shift in the center of gravity. If the load is heavy, then with this arrangement the car will inevitably pull to the left.
And it’s better not to talk about turns or turns.
This is how to arrange the load - it's smart. And it does not contradict the requirements of the Rules.
4. Transportation of cargo is prohibited if it covers external lighting devices, as well as registration or identification marks.
I can't imagine the load that covers the headlights, and even more so, the front numbers. That is, you can imagine it - let's say the load on the trunk and hangs down to the ground. But in this case, the load necessarily closes the driver's view. And this alone is enough to make such transportation impossible.
But if the cargo closes rear numbers and block rear parking lights, then it does not interfere with movement.
But the Rules for such transportation of goods is prohibited.
5. Transportation of cargo is prohibited if it interferes with the perception of hand signals.
The rules refer to the situation when the direction indicators or brake lights fail on the way, and you need to somehow get to your destination. In this case, as you already know, the driver is required to give hand signals. So, if the cargo being transported prevents other drivers from seeing these signals, further movement is prohibited.
6. Shipping is prohibited if it is noisy, dusty and polluting environment.
One can imagine how a cargo can dust or pollute the environment. But how he can make noise, by God, I don’t know.
7. If the cargo protrudes beyond the dimensions of the vehicle.
less than 1 meter ,
If the load protrudes beyond the dimensions of the vehicle in front or behind more than 1 meter , then…
... during daylight hours, the cargo both in front and behind must be marked with identification signs "Oversized cargo" ...
... and at night or in conditions of insufficient visibility, in addition to the sign, the cargo must be marked in front with a lantern or a white reflector, and in the back - with a lantern or a red reflector.
If the performance behind more than 2 meters, the transportation of such cargo must be agreed with the traffic police department, on the territory of which the transportation route begins. That is, for you and me, this simply means that the transportation of such cargo is prohibited.
Interestingly, the Rules did not limit the protrusion of the cargo in front. And, therefore, here the driver needs to be guided by common sense.
8. If the cargo protrudes from the side of the vehicle.
As for the protrusion of the load from the side, here the Rules set a difficult task for the drivers. It is necessary to measure the distance not from the extreme point of the vehicle dimensions, but from the edge of the side light.
If the protrusion of the load from the edge of the marker light does not exceed 0.4 meters, and the total width of the load no more than 2.55 meters, nothing to worry about. You can safely carry such a load.
If the protrusion of the cargo from the edge of the side light exceeds 0.4 meters, but the width of the cargo is not more than 2.55 meters, such cargo is allowed to be transported. It just needs to be marked.
During daylight hours, such cargo must be marked on both sides with identification signs "Oversized cargo".
At night and in conditions of insufficient visibility, the cargo, in addition to signs, must be marked in front with white lights or retroreflectors, and in the back with red lights or retroreflectors.
If the width of the load exceeds 2.55 meters (regardless of how much it protrudes from the side), consider that the carriage of such a load is prohibited.
Often, goods are transported by rail or by road train, the dimensions of which go beyond the standard limits. They are called oversized, require special marking, fixing and stowage during loading. Dimension - what is it and why is it needed? There are several main types of dimensions that are used to calculate the type of a particular cargo, equipment, and also allow you to take into account travel routes in problem areas.
Railway dimensions
Considering that trains travel in a strictly fixed direction and cannot turn around to go around an unexpected obstacle, there are certain dimensions related to buildings, cargo and rolling stock that have clear and fixed dimensions.
The outline perpendicular to the axis of the track, in which the railway stock standing on the straight track should be placed, without the parts going beyond this contour, regardless of the load, is called the gauge of the rolling stock. These dimensions refer to wagons and platforms that circulate on all types of tracks. general purpose railways Russia and can be operated exclusively on lines where devices and buildings meet the requirements included in the size of the structure.
building zoom
Dimensions - what is in relation to the approach of buildings on the railway? The maximum transverse contour, inside which, in addition to trains and other rolling stock, other elements of devices and structures should not enter, is the clearance of buildings.
Excluded from this list are only parts directly related to the train (ensuring its operation). These include:
- Hump retarders for wagons.
- Signaling and communication devices.
The placement of these devices within the overall space must be coordinated by the elements interacting directly with them. Gosstandart provides for two types of dimensions for approaching buildings: "C" and "Sp".
Cargoes and equipment (dimensions)
Dimensions and dimensions of cargo are regulated by the loading gauge. It represents the maximum transverse contour in which the load must be placed, without any parts going beyond the established norms. This indicator is close to the same indicator but has large width tolerances of 15 cm (340 instead of 325).
Products and goods that cannot be placed in accordance with the loading gauge are classified as oversized items. Their transportation is carried out in the manner prescribed by the Russian Railways. In order to control the correct placement of transported objects at points of mass loading (on access roads, in ports, at transfer points), clearance gates are mounted that control the freedom of passage of a loaded transport train.
Container dimensions
To ensure safety, efficiency and maximum performance work during loading and unloading and transport operations, all containers have certain fixed dimensions, depending on the type. Below are the dimensions of containers that are most often used in the transportation of goods.
Standard twenty-foot modification:
- External length/height/width - 6096/2591/2370 (mm).
- Similar internal indicators- 5935/2383/2335 (mm).
- Maximum weight (with container) - 24 tons.
- Volume - 33.9 cubic meters. m.
40ft refrigerated container:
- External length/height/width - 12192/2591/2438 (mm).
- Similar internal dimensions - 11555/2280/2286 (mm).
- Gross weight (maximum) - 30.48 tons.
- Container (weight) - 4.37 tons.
Requirements and dimensions for oversized cargo
Oversized cargo is transported products, the size of which goes beyond the limits established by the relevant paragraphs of the transportation rules, as well as the technical indicators of the vehicle (TC). Such goods are not intended for transportation on ordinary trucks or wagons.
According to the rules of the road, oversized cargo must be transported by vehicles that have the following indicators:
- Width (mm) - 2500.
- Length (mm) - 20,000.
- Altitude from road level - 4000 m.
If the dimensions, dimensions of the cargo are more than four meters wide, it must be transported under the supervision and accompanied by employees of the State traffic inspectorate.
Limitations of the functionality of the vehicle in terms of capacity:
- Height - 2500 mm.
- Length - - 13 600 mm.
- Width - - 2500 mm.
If at least one indicator is exceeded, the products are classified as oversized cargo. Dimensions also affect the cost of transportation.
Peculiarities
Knowing the concept of "dimension", what it is and what its features are, it is much easier to navigate in optimal choice cargo transportation. Transport goods that are larger than normative indicators, is not always acceptable. All pros and cons should be considered.
The advantages include the following:
- Carrier's guarantees on the safety of products and ensuring traffic safety.
- Usability different kind transport, depending on the characteristics of the cargo.
- As a variant, railway rolling stock can be operated.
Among the shortcomings there are such aspects:
- The complexity of the installation and stowage of cargo, the dimensions of which do not make it possible to optimally place it on the transport platform.
- The need to coordinate such transportation with Federal Service trucking.
- High price.
Transportation methods
Dimensions of equipment or other cargo that exceed the standard dimensions require an individual approach to their transportation in each specific case.
If the product has excessive big mass, then it is appropriate to use platforms with an appropriate load capacity and the maximum possible number of axles, which serve to protect against deformation of the roadway and ensure the distribution of weight over the entire loading plane.
Transportation oversized cargo can be carried out by special vehicles (ferries, barges, transshipment ships, truck tractors increased power, special railway rolling stock).
Output
In the transportation of goods, it is very important to take into account any size. What it is, has been discussed above. Briefly, it can be summarized that standard size is a guideline, the excess of which requires a different approach to the transportation of goods, taking into account its width, length, height and weight. The same parameters mainly affect the choice of the vehicle that will be transported. At the same time, vehicles must be equipped with special signs and plates warning about oversized cargo.
Often in the process of transportation it is necessary to transport various oversized cargo. There is no clear definition in the SDA for this.
It is generally accepted that the cargo is oversized if it does not meet the requirements and exceeds the dimensions of the vehicle itself, as a result of which the risk of accidents increases. Therefore, oversize must be allocated in such a way that other road users can notice it from a long distance and take measures to ensure safety.
There are two main types of this type of cargo:
- large-sized - exceeds the dimensions of the vehicle, may block part of the roadway;
- heavy - its weight is greater than the maximum allowable weight that this vehicle can carry.
If we are talking about freight transportation, then oversized exceeds the following parameters:
- its height is more than 2.5 m;
- weighs from 38 tons;
- length starts from 24 m;
- width - from 2.55 m.
What is the penalty for non-compliance?
It should also be recalled that the administrative code provides for punishment for improper organization of transportation of oversized items without an appropriate permit.
- In particular, article 12.12.1 part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses states that the driver will be forced to pay a fine of 2,500 rubles.
- The official who authorized such transportation will be obliged to pay 15-20 thousand rubles.
- And for a legal entity, liability is imposed in the form of 400-500 thousand rubles.
Under the same article, a driver may be deprived of his driver's license for up to six months.
Based on all these factors, the driver and responsible person can receive not only a fine for oversized cargo, but also lose their rights. Therefore, it is necessary to study and strictly adhere to the rules for transporting oversized items, which are described in the SDA.
Bulky cargo sign
First of all, the vehicle is marked with a special sign "Oversized cargo". It is a metal plate with diagonal white and red lines. The size of the shield is 40x40 cm. It is also allowed to use stickers of the same size.
The surface of the plate must be reflective so that it is visible both in the daytime and at night.
In addition to this plate, any truck must be marked with the following signs:
- road train;
- bulky;
- long length (Long Vehicle).
It is necessary to install this sign on those parts of the cargo that protrude above the roadway. Reflectors are also used. In the front they should be white, in the back they should be red or orange.
Oversized - transportation by cars
You can often see how oversized cargo protruding above the roadway is transported in passenger cars, similarly to trucks. For drivers passenger cars there are also liability for violation of transportation rules, so they should be considered.
The following cargo is considered oversized:
- protrudes more than one meter from behind or in front;
- on the side - 40 or more centimeters.
If you are dealing with this type of transportation, then you must use the above plate (sign) and attach it directly to the protruding parts of the oversized cargo. At night, in addition to the sign for oversized cargo, use reflectors - white in front, red in back.
It is necessary to place the load in such a way that it does not block the driver's view, there is no risk of it slipping, and does not cause harm pavement or ancillary structures.
Please note that if the load protrudes from the rear or front by more than 2 meters, and the total width exceeds 2.55 meters, then its transportation in passenger vehicles without special permission is prohibited. If an inspector stops you, then there is a high probability that an appropriate protocol will be issued and you will be deprived of your rights for up to six months.
Organization of transportation of oversized cargo
If massive objects are to be delivered by car, for example, heavy equipment or large agricultural machinery, you must take care in advance of obtaining permission from the regional branch of the Ministry of Transport.
You will need to provide the following information:
- metric parameters of the transported equipment;
- the route along which the convoy will move;
- quality certificates and additional documents confirming the characteristics of the cargo: dangerous, bulky, non-hazardous, and so on.
It may take up to 30 days to coordinate routes and obtain permission. The Ministry of Transport will analyze the route, and if it turns out that there are any communications along this route that interfere with travel (low bridges, overpasses, overhanging power lines, narrow sections of the road), then the route may be revised. It is possible that you will need to use another mode of transport, such as rail or sea.
In special cases, they can provide escort in the form of several patrol cars with flashing beacons orange color. They will not give any priority in traffic, but will warn other car owners of a potential threat.
If a convoy consisting of several long vehicles is moving, the following requirements must be met:
- accompanying cars with flashing beacons in front and behind the column;
- the distance between each unit of transport must ensure safety;
- if dangerous goods are transported, the presence of another additional heavy vehicle will be required to transfer the cargo to it in case of unforeseen situations.
In conditions of poor visibility, all vehicles must be equipped with signal lights.
There are also such cases when transportation of oversized cargo may be refused:
- it is possible to transport it in other ways - railway, air or sea transportation;
