ODC Cargo Service
Specialized Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC) Services by ARC Logistics
Moving Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC) is a feat of engineering and logistics precision. ARC Logistics specializes in the transportation of heavy, oversized, and complex cargo that exceeds standard dimensions and weight limits. From massive industrial boilers and turbines to heavy construction machinery, we have the expertise and the specialized equipment including multi-axle trailers and hydraulic axles to move your ODC safely across the Indian subcontinent.
Every ODC project at ARC Logistics begins with a thorough feasibility study and route survey. Our team of experts identifies potential obstacles like low-hanging wires, narrow bridges, or sharp turns, and prepares a detailed transport plan. We manage the entire process, including obtaining necessary RTO permits and providing pilot escort vehicles for safe passage.

What defines a shipment as 'Over Dimensional Cargo' (ODC)?
In the Indian context, any cargo that exceeds the standard dimensions of a truck or trailer (typically 40ft length, 8.5ft width, and 12ft height) or exceeds the standard carrying capacity of the vehicle is classified as ODC. Special permits and specialized vehicles are required for such moves.
Do you provide transit insurance for ODC shipments?
Yes, we strongly recommend and can facilitate comprehensive transit insurance for all ODC shipments. Given the high value and specialized nature of this cargo, having adequate coverage is a standard part of our risk management process.
How much lead time is required for planning an ODC move?
Depending on the complexity and dimensions, we typically require 7 to 15 days for a proper route survey and permit acquisition. For extremely large or heavy loads that require bridge reinforcements or utility modifications, longer lead times may be necessary.
