Crane Transport - International Delivery of Heavy Equipment

A Liebherr LTM or Grove GMK mobile crane in transport configuration is an oversized load that requires a special trailer, route permits, and customs escort across multiple borders.
ILIEV Solutions arranges the delivery of mobile cranes from Europe to Ukraine, Romania, and Moldova - a single operator from the point of shipment to the construction site.

International transport of mobile cranes from Europe

A Liebherr LTM 1100 or Grove GMK 5130 road crane is a 5-axle machine weighing 60-80 tons with a telescopic boom in the transport position. Transportation requires a low-bed trailer with the appropriate load capacity, separate transport for counterweights, and, in some cases, disassembly of the boom into sections.

ILIEV Solutions determines the optimal transport plan for a specific crane model, selects a carrier with experience in handling heavy equipment, and coordinates the entire route from loading to unloading at the site.

Oversized crane transport: permits and routes

Cargo weighing over 40 tons or exceeding standard road dimensions requires a separate permit in each country along the route.

On the Germany - Poland - Ukraine route, this involves three different sets of regulations: route approval by road authorities, time-of-day restrictions, and requirements for escort by a lead vehicle.

Seasonal weight restrictions on Ukrainian roads in the spring further influence route selection and timing. ILIEV Solutions handles the full package of permits and plans the route while accounting for weight and height restrictions on all sections - the client does not have to handle any of these approvals on their own.

Customs clearance and delivery of specialized equipment to Ukraine

Importing a truck-mounted crane into Ukraine requires accurate classification under the HS code - an error at this stage can result in delays at the border and the risk of additional customs duties.

ILIEV Solutions prepares a complete customs package: invoice and packing list, technical passport with serial number, certificate of conformity, VIN confirmation, and CMR. We provide full support for customs clearance, from document preparation to the release of goods on the Ukrainian side.

For Romania and Moldova, we offer a separate package tailored to EU requirements and ANSA regulations. Our experience in customs clearance of crane equipment in the jurisdictions of Ukraine, Romania, and Moldova is practical and backed by actual deliveries.

Cargo insurance and handling by the shipper

A truck-mounted crane costing several hundred thousand euros is insured for its full value for the entire route - from loading at the shipper’s location to unloading at the customer’s site.

ILIEV Solutions arranges an insurance policy tailored to the specific route and value of the equipment, tracks the shipment’s status at every stage, and promptly resolves issues in the event of customs delays or force majeure incidents en route.

The client receives up-to-date delivery status updates without having to coordinate multiple parties in the supply chain themselves.
