Moving industrial goods is nothing like moving household items. The stakes are higher, the cargo is heavier, the dimensions are often non-standard, and the consequences of damage or delay can cost a business lakhs — even crores — in lost production time. That is why InterCity Packers and Movers has developed a specialised industrial goods transport division that handles every category of industrial cargo with the precision, expertise, and equipment that business operations demand. Whether you need to move a single CNC machine, transport a complete production line, or shift an entire factory to a new location, our industrial transport team is built for the job.
We offer a full spectrum of industrial transport services including Full Truck Load (FTL) and Less than Truck Load (LTL) freight for standard industrial goods, Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC) transport for machinery and equipment that exceeds standard road limits, factory and plant relocation services with dismantling and reinstallation, and project-specific heavy haul transport for infrastructure and energy sector equipment.

From part-load industrial shipments to full factory relocations, we have the right solution for every industrial transport requirement.
Every InterCity industrial transport assignment is comprehensive — from pre-move survey to delivery confirmation. No cutting corners, no subcontracting without oversight.
Our industrial logistics team conducts a thorough survey of your facility, cargo dimensions, weights, and access conditions before any transport assignment. We assess the correct vehicle type, loading equipment, lashing requirements, and route feasibility — ensuring zero surprises on the day of movement.
Industrial cargo — particularly ODC and heavy haul — requires specific state highway permits, overload permissions, and sometimes police escort approvals. InterCity's documentation team handles all permit procurement across state boundaries, ensuring your cargo moves without legal or regulatory delays anywhere in India.
Machinery, precision equipment, and high-value industrial components require packing standards far beyond standard freight. We use custom-fabricated wooden crates, industrial foam cushioning, VCI (Vapour Corrosion Inhibitor) film for metal components, moisture barriers, and heavy-duty strapping — ensuring your equipment arrives in exactly the condition it left.
Our fleet covers every industrial transport requirement: standard flatbed trucks for regular cargo, lowbed trailers for heavy machinery, multi-axle hydraulic trailers for ODC cargo, crane-mounted trucks for precision loading, and containerised vehicles for enclosed protection during long-haul transport.
Every vehicle in our industrial transport fleet is GPS-enabled with real-time tracking. You receive a dedicated tracking dashboard link for your consignment with live location updates, estimated arrival times, and automatic alerts for any route deviations. Our 24/7 operations team monitors every industrial shipment from dispatch to delivery.
Industrial machinery and equipment represent significant capital investments. InterCity provides comprehensive all-risk cargo insurance covering loss, damage, and theft during loading, transit, and unloading — based on the declared replacement value of your goods. We strongly recommend full coverage for all industrial transport assignments.

Some industrial cargo simply doesn't fit in a standard truck. Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC) refers to any load that exceeds the permissible dimensions or axle weight limits specified under the Motor Vehicles Act — and moving it requires far more than just a big truck. It requires expertise, specialised equipment, regulatory knowledge, and meticulous route planning.
InterCity's ODC transport team handles the most complex over-dimensional industrial loads in India — from large power transformers and industrial boilers to complete offshore equipment modules, wind turbine components, and heavy fabricated structures. We own and operate a fleet of lowbed trailers, multi-axle hydraulic modular trailers, and girder trailers capable of handling loads from 50 tonnes to 500+ tonnes.
20ft to 65ft lowbed carriers for machinery, construction equipment, and heavy fabrications up to 80 tonnes.
Modular hydraulic platforms for transformer, turbine, and heavy pressure vessel transport — 100T to 500T+.
Extendable girder trailers for long structural steel, precast beams, and wind turbine tower sections.
Self-loading crane trucks for precision lifting and positioning of heavy machinery at difficult-access sites.
Industrial transport is a high-stakes, low-margin-for-error business. Here's why thousands of manufacturers, plant managers, and project engineers across India trust InterCity.
Unlike general packers and movers who occasionally handle industrial cargo, InterCity has a dedicated industrial transport team with separate operations, specialised vehicles, trained industrial loading crews, and project coordinators who understand manufacturing environments, plant layouts, and the specific demands of B2B industrial logistics.
Our industrial vehicle fleet is purpose-built for the job. Standard covered trucks, flatbed carriers, lowbed trailers, extendable beam trailers, multi-axle hydraulic platforms, and crane-mounted vehicles — we match the right vehicle to your specific cargo dimensions, weight, and delivery site requirements, every single time.
ODC and heavy haul transport in India involves navigating a complex web of state-level highway permits, overload permissions, and occasionally police escort requirements. Our compliance team manages all permit applications across every state, ensuring your cargo is always legally compliant and never held up at a state border or toll plaza.
Every industrial transport vehicle is GPS-enabled with live tracking accessible to your team. Our 24/7 operations control room monitors all active consignments and proactively addresses any delays, route deviations, or vehicle issues — providing you complete visibility and peace of mind throughout the transport journey.
We know that delayed industrial equipment means delayed production, contract penalties, and revenue loss. InterCity's industrial transport planning process prioritises delivery timelines above everything else — with dedicated vehicles, pre-cleared routes, and backup arrangements to ensure your production schedule is never compromised by logistics.
Every industrial transport quote from InterCity is itemised and comprehensive — covering vehicle costs, loading and lashing charges, permit fees, insurance, and destination unloading. You know exactly what you are paying for before the move begins. No last-minute surcharges, no surprise fees, no billing disputes after delivery.
Real experiences from manufacturing companies, plant engineers, and project managers who trusted InterCity for their industrial goods transport.
"We relocated our entire CNC machining bay from Pune to a new facility in Bangalore — 14 machines plus supporting equipment. InterCity handled everything: dismantling, custom crating, FTL transportation, and reinstallation at the new plant. Not a single machine was damaged. The move was completed in 4 days, exactly as scheduled. Exceptional industrial transport specialists."
"InterCity transported a 220 KVA power transformer for our new sub-station from Mumbai to Hyderabad — a 780 km ODC haul with all state permits organised by their team. The multi-axle trailer arrived exactly as discussed, the loading was done with a hired crane coordinated by InterCity, and the transformer reached site in perfect condition. Their permit team saved us at least 2 weeks of paperwork."
"We needed LTL transport for pharmaceutical equipment components from Chennai to three different client sites across Gujarat. InterCity handled all three deliveries in a single consolidated run with individual documentation for each destination. GPS tracking was available throughout. Their industrial LTL service is the most reliable we've used — and the pricing was genuinely competitive for B2B freight."
India's industrial transport sector is the backbone of the country's manufacturing economy. Every factory that produces a product, every plant that generates power, and every site that builds infrastructure depends on reliable industrial goods transport services to move machinery, raw materials, and equipment on time and without damage. This guide covers the critical aspects of planning an industrial transport move — from choosing between FTL and LTL to understanding ODC regulations and factory relocation logistics.
The choice between FTL (Full Truck Load) and LTL (Less than Truck Load) industrial freight depends on three primary factors: cargo volume, sensitivity of goods, and transit time requirements. FTL is always the right choice when your industrial goods can fill or nearly fill a truck — it provides a dedicated, direct route with no intermediate stops or multiple handling points, significantly reducing the risk of damage to precision equipment and machinery. LTL is appropriate for smaller industrial shipments — typically below 5 tonnes — where the goods are robust enough to handle consolidated freight conditions and the cost saving of shared transport justifies the slightly longer transit time.
Over Dimensional Cargo transport in India is governed by the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR) and individual state government regulations. Any load that exceeds the standard permissible width of 2.5 metres, height of 4.5 metres from ground level, length of 18.75 metres (for semi-trailer combinations), or axle weight limits requires special permission before it can be moved on public roads. These permissions — commonly called ODC permits or over-dimensional consignment permits — must be obtained separately from each state's PWD or transport authority for every state the cargo will pass through.
The permit application process involves submitting detailed drawings of the cargo and trailer combination, proposed route maps, bridge load calculations, and sometimes a route survey report by a licensed engineer. For very large or heavy consignments, police escort vehicles may be mandated by the state authority. The complexity of this process — particularly for multi-state routes — is why most industrial companies rely on experienced ODC transport specialists like InterCity rather than attempting to manage the permitting process independently.
Factory relocation is one of the most complex logistics assignments in the industrial sector. Unlike a single machine move, a factory relocation involves coordinating the sequential dismantling, packing, transporting, and reinstalling of dozens or hundreds of interconnected machines and systems — while minimising the production gap between the last day at the old facility and the first day of operation at the new one. InterCity's factory relocation methodology is built around a phased movement plan developed in close coordination with your plant engineering team. Non-critical equipment is moved first; production-critical machinery is moved last, in a pre-planned sequence that allows parallel installation to begin at the new facility while the old facility is still partially operational.
