Regardless of the type of vehicle, sometimes you need to transfer something that exceeds its dimensions or permitted weight. In order to avoid problems, you need to know in which case this is considered a violation, when it is necessary to hang the appropriate sign and what are the dimensions of the “oversized cargo” sign, as well as the degree of responsibility of the driver who does not comply with the norm. So, we analyze the question “Oversized cargo: dimensions, requirements SDA".
What is oversized cargo
The traffic rules describe two options: items that go beyond the dimensions of the car, or exceed the maximum weight allowed for transportation. The dimensions of oversized cargo according to traffic rules are determined as follows:
- The load in front or behind protrudes 100 cm or more.
- Protrudes from the side: from 40 cm.
For trucks, the following parameters are considered non-standard:
- Vehicle height over 2.5 m.
- Weight - over 38 tons.
- Length - from 24 m.
- Width - from 2.55 m.
Installation of the sign according to the requirements
If it became necessary to transfer a non-standard size cargo (oversized) on a passenger car, the requirements of the traffic rules state that it is necessary to fix it so that it does not interfere with the driver’s view, cannot slip and does not touch the road. It is forbidden to transport objects larger than 2.55 m wide and 2.5 m long on a passenger car. For violation of this rule, the driver can be deprived of the rights for six months.
When transporting a protruding object, it is necessary to attach a special sign to the body or other places visible to other road users. The dimensions of the “oversized cargo” sign according to GOST are 40 * 40 cm. This metal shield must have red and white stripes painted on it, located diagonally. You can also use not a shield, but a special sticker.
In addition, in order to comply with the dimensions of the “oversized cargo” sign, you need to make sure that its surface is reflective. This is necessary to prevent an emergency when transporting in the dark. In this case, it is worth additionally hanging reflectors (red and white, respectively).
For a truck, in addition to a similar designation, other, special ones are also used: large size, long length, road train.
Penalties for violations
For non-compliance with the rules regarding the size of the load or its improper fastening, which threatens to cause an emergency on the road, the driver is responsible. The fine for oversized cargo in length and for violation of the rules for securing it is 2.5 thousand rubles.
If such placement or excess weight on freight transport is allowed by an authorized employee of the company, a fine is charged from him in the amount of 15-20 thousand rubles. Legal entities are already fined for 400-500 thousand rubles for such violations.
In addition to a monetary fine, the driver is sometimes deprived of his license for six months, depending on the severity of the violation. Thus, we found out what an oversized cargo of size can be according to the requirements of traffic rules.
The safety of the cargo is determined by the quality of its transportation. When the property has large dimensions, the choice of the side of the carrier must be approached with particular care. The right transport company means safety, integrity and timely delivery of cargo.
There is a large selection of offers in the transport service industry, the main thing is not to make a mistake. In particular, the transport company "Pit-Stop" has been operating in the cargo transportation market for more than 7 years, has an excellent reputation, well-deserved partnerships, a fleet of vehicles with a wide range of special equipment. Delivery of oversized cargo to all regions of the Russian Federation is the main direction of the organization's conscientious activity.
Exist international rules for the transport of bulky goods, their observance is regulated at the legislative level of the Russian Federation. The specificity of the activity of transport companies is the high-quality transportation of various types of cargo.
Oversized loads. Restrictions
Transportation of goods, according to the rules of the road, is carried out by special overall transport. The same rules spell out the permissible dimensions for the carriage of goods in accordance with established international standards.
- Cargo weight should not be more than recommended by the manufacturer for each type of vehicle;
- The dimensions of the load should not limit the driver's visibility of the road interfere with or restrict traffic control;
- Dimensions of cargo protruding beyond the limits of vehicles(length - 1 m, width - 0.4 m), must be marked with identification marks (reflector, lantern, patch of red or white fabric).
All transportation of extraordinary cargo (heavy, dangerous, specific sizes, etc.), which exceed the standards by any parameters, is carried out by oversized transport in in due course rules.
Maximum allowable dimensions transported cargo:
- width - 2650 mm;
- length - 22000 mm;
- height - 4000 mm;
- total weight - 38-40 tons.
Maybe increase the allowable cargo dimension in length, from the back of the vehicle no more than 2 m. In this case, the presence of identification marks (signal lights, reflector, red cloth) is a prerequisite.
In conditions exceeding the permissible norms, for the transportation of bulky and heavy cargo, it is necessary to obtain special permit and escort service of the traffic police.
Consequences for violation of the rules of cargo transportation
Cargoes exceeding the established norms can create difficult or emergencies on road.
For safe transportation, it is necessary to take into account state of the roadway, its compliance with the expected loads:
- patency;
- the presence and proximity of electrical wires;
- carrying capacity of the transport bed;
- the presence of tunnels, bridges and other obstacles on the way.
For violation of the rules and regulations for the transportation of heavy and bulky goods, the owners (companies) of vehicles are fined. The system of fines provides for recovery of up to 500 thousand rubles.
Organization of cargo transportation
Conscientious specialists of transport companies work in accordance with the norms of Russian legislation, which ensures competent organization cargo delivery.
The cost of current tariffs for cargo transportation can be found on the company's website pit-stopp.ru, the entire range of available equipment is also provided there. Transportation of valuable, non-standard cargo should be trusted only to competent logistics specialists who have a good reputation and some experience in this type of activity. Only they can fully ensure high-quality and safe transportation of goods to any region of the Russian Federation.
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 a straight track should be placed, without 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 general purpose tracks. railways Russia and can be operated exclusively on lines where devices and buildings meet the requirements included in the size of the building.
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 tolerances in width by 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 productivity 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 carriage on conventional 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. It is not always acceptable to transport goods that are larger than the normative indicators. All the pros and cons should be taken into account.
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 the Federal Road Transportation Service.
- High price.
Transportation methods
Dimensions of equipment or other cargo that exceed the standard dimensions require individual approach to their transportation in each particular case.
If the goods have an excessively large 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 weight distribution over the entire loading plane.
Transportation of oversized cargo can be carried out by special vehicles (ferries, barges, transshipment ships, high-capacity truck tractors, special railway rolling stock).
Conclusion
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. These 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.
How far can the load stick out of the trailer? Which allowable rate? oversized cargo
- behind 1 m.
on the sides 0.4 - Up to 2m 55cm (2m 60cm - for refrigerators and isotherms) - width (but not more than 40cm from any of the edges of the vehicle to the edge of the load), 4m 00cm - height from the road surface to the highest point of the vehicle (vehicle) or the transported cargo located on Vehicle, 20m 00cm - total length "by cleanliness" (Vehicle + load + trailer = from the beginning of the vehicle to the protruding part of the load or trailer), but not more than 2m protrusion of the load outside the vehicle - THIS IS AN OVERALL CARRIAGE. 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 to the side by more than 0.4 m from the outer edge of the marker light must be marked with identification signs "Oversized cargo". When transporting bulky cargo 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.
Shipping oversized cargo and the 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.
Transportation of oversized and heavy cargoes without a special permit and a special pass if obtaining such a pass is mandatory, as well as with a deviation from the route specified in the special permit
fine: for the driver from 2000 to 2500 rubles. or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 4 to 6 months. , for officials from 15,000 to 20,000 rubles. , for legal entities from 400,000 to 500,000 rubles. / seizure of the VU from the driver, from July 1, 2008, the detention of the vehicle
Transportation of oversized cargo exceeding the dimensions specified in the special permit by more than 10 centimeters
fine: for the driver from 1500 to 2000 rubles. or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 2 to 4 months. , for officials from 10,000 to 15,000 rubles. , for legal entities from 250,000 to 400,000 rubles. / seizure of the VU from the driver, from July 1, 2008, the detention of the vehicle
Transportation of heavy cargo exceeding the permitted maximum mass or axle load specified in the special permit by more than 15 percent
fine: for the driver from 1500 to 2000 rubles. , for officials from 10,000 to 15,000 rubles. , for legal entities from 250,000 to 400,000 rubles.
Violation of the rules for the transportation of bulky and heavy cargo, with the exception of cases provided for in parts 1 3 of this article
fine: for the driver from 1000 to 1500 rubles. , for officials from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles. , for legal entities from 150,000 to 250,000 rubles.
Traffic Laws Russian Federation
But I carried such an oversize from St. Petersburg to the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov 2300 km - there were no problems at all. Trailer - 5.3 meters. Boat - 6.2 meters. The protrusion is 0.9 meters - even a sign was not needed.
Any of our vehicles from time to time transports not only passengers, but also cargo. At the same time, it is good if the goods are placed in the body or trunk, and sometimes it is necessary to transport bulky cargo. And just then the question arises, how to transport the cargo, while not “running into” a fine. And if there is a penalty, what would it be? We will talk about this.
Rules for the carriage of goods (speakers)
Before “diving” into the depths of all kinds of rules and laws, let’s say right away that we will be interested in cases related to the transportation of goods up to certain sizes, that is, we will not touch on the topic of transportation of oversized cargo. What shall we start.
The first thing to address is the traffic rules. There are 2 points worth quoting here:
23.4. Cargo protruding beyond the dimensions of the vehicle in front or behind by more than 1 m or to the side by more than 0.4 m from the outer edge of the marker light must be marked with identification signs "Oversized cargo", and in the dark and in conditions of insufficient visibility , in addition, in front with a white lamp or retroreflector, at the back - with a red lamp or retroreflector.
Here's a picture to the place. If the cargo is up to and including the specified dimensions, then the sign is not needed.
Here we can also say that if you violated the rules for transporting exactly non-oversized cargo, that is, up to these limits, then the fine will be minimal or even a warning. (Article 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). This applies to cases:
(requirements from the same traffic rules).
If the dimensions "crawled out" beyond these limits, then we hang a sign, or rather the sign "Oversized cargo". Does this mean that protruding beyond more than 1 meter back and forth, relative to the dimensions and more than 0.4 m on the sides, relative to the marker light, the vehicle will be large-sized?
Well, let's turn to 257 FZ, find a definition for a large vehicle.
oversized vehicle - a vehicle, the dimensions of which, with or without cargo, exceed the allowable dimensions established by the Government of the Russian Federation
If at least one of the dimensions of the vehicle, together with the cargo, exceeds the established value according to the SDA, the cargo is considered bulky
At the same time, bulky cargo of certain sizes must be transported according to the rules, in accordance with clause 23.5 of the SDA. Let's quote this point.
23.5. Transportation of heavy and dangerous goods, the 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 clearance by more than 2 m, as well as the movement of road trains with two or more trailers, is carried out in accordance with special rules. International road transport is carried out in accordance with the requirements for vehicles and transportation rules established by international treaties of the Russian Federation.
Please note that we are left with more than one size when the overhang of the cargo from behind is more than 1 meter, but up to 2 meters. In this case, cargo with this size is not required to be transported according to the rules, but it is necessary to attach the sign "Oversized cargo" to it.
Actually, we can already draw some conclusions.
If the dimensions do not exceed 2.55 m in width, 20 m in length, 4 m from the road in height and 2 meters behind, then even if it is a bulky cargo, it is transported without special rules, that is, only according to traffic rules.
If the dimensions are more than that, then here according to federal law of the Russian Federation dated November 8, 2007 No. 257-FZ "On highways and road activities in the Russian Federation and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" road users are prohibited from transporting on highways oversized cargo without special permits.
We will not talk about these permissions, that is, as we said right at the beginning of our article, we only cover cases for ordinary motorists, and not for professional carriers. Let's talk better about the fine if your cargo exceeds the limits indicated in the last picture.
Penalty for the carriage of a protruding cargo (Articles 12.21 and 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation)
Here you get three options with what the fine for the cargo can be. The first, when the requirements of traffic rules for the carriage of goods are violated:
Does not restrict the driver's view;
- does not complicate management and does not violate the stability of the vehicle;
- does not cover external lighting devices and retroreflectors, registration and identification marks, and also does not interfere with the perception of hand signals;
- does not create noise, does not produce dust, does not pollute the road and the environment.
The second is when it is necessary to install the “Oversized cargo” sign, if the cargo protrudes beyond the clearance at the back by more than 1 meter, but not more than 2 meters. If this sign is not installed, then ... For these two options, a fine will be issued under Article 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Violation of the rules for the carriage of goods, as well as the rules for towing - entails a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of 500 rubles.
However, the third option, when the cargo is bulky, and besides, it requires a special permit, that is, it stands out for the dimensions. This will already be a fine under Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
If the dimensions are exceeded by no more than 10 cm (without a issued permit available) - 1000-1500 rubles (individual) (part 1);
- if the dimensions are exceeded by 10-20 cm (without a issued permit available) - 3000-4000 rubles (individual) (part 2);
- if the dimensions are exceeded by 20-50 cm (without a issued permit available) - 5000-10000 rubles (individual) (part 3);
- in case of exceeding the size of more than 50 cm (without a issued permit available or with it) - 7000-10000 rubles (individual) or deprivation from 4 to 6 months (part 6).
Actually, it is clear that the worst thing is if the load protrudes more than 50 cm. In this case, a very large fine or deprivation of a special right for up to six months.
Detention of the vehicle during the transportation of the protruding cargo
It is noteworthy that for a violation in accordance with Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, that is, for our third case, detention may be applied. This possibility is spelled out in article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. At the same time, if your car cannot be loaded onto a tow truck, then blocking devices can simply be installed. We read 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
... If it is impossible to technical specifications of the vehicle of its movement and placement in a specialized parking lot in the event of an administrative offense provided for by part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 of article 12.21.1 or part 1 of article 12.21.2 of this Code, the detention is carried out by stopping the movement with the help of blocking devices.
As a result, you will stand there until you eliminate the reasons that led to the detention.
Is it possible to pay a penalty for a protruding load with a 50 percent discount?
If you still failed to avoid a fine, then do not forget about Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Thanks to her, respectable motorists have the opportunity to pay a fine with a 50 percent discount. This article allows you to get a kind of "discount" if the fine is paid on time from the moment the traffic police fines appear in the database, but no later than 20 days from the date of the decision.
Question-answer on the topic "Penalty for protruding cargo"
Question: With what protrusion of the load beyond the clearance and clearance lights can you drive “painlessly”, without installing signs?
Answer: Forward and backward no more than 1 meter relative to the clearance, up to 4 meters and on the sides no more than 0.4 meters relative to the side marker light.
Question: Up to what size can you carry a protruding load from the rear without a special permit?
Answer: Up to 2 meters, while from the protrusion of the cargo from 1 meter to 2, it will be necessary to hang the sign "Oversized cargo".
