Industrial Logistics FAQs

What does industrial logistics include?

Industrial logistics at IRH goes far beyond just moving items from A to B. It is a comprehensive, end-to-end management of complex supply chains for heavy assets. Our services include:

• Feasibility Studies and Route Surveys: Identifying physical obstacles (like bridge heights or turn radii) before the job begins.
• Permitting and Compliance: Navigating state and local regulations for oversized loads.
• Multimodal Coordination: Managing transfers between rail, barge, and road.
• Project Cargo Management: Sequencing deliveries so that equipment arrives at your job site exactly when the installation crew is ready.

How can your logistics services reduce costs?

Efficiency in heavy haul is found in the details. We reduce costs through:

• Optimized Routing: By utilizing advanced route surveys, we avoid costly delays, detours, and dry runs, saving you fuel and man-hours.
• Consolidated Planning: We manage the entire lifecycle of the move, reducing markup and communication gaps that occur when using multiple vendors.
• Risk Mitigation: Precision planning prevents damage to high-value assets and avoids the massive fines associated with permitting errors or safety violations.

Do you handle over-dimensional loads?

Yes. Over-dimensional and "superload" transport is our specialty. We maintain one of the most diverse fleets of specialized trailers in the industry. Whether your load is exceptionally heavy, tall, wide—or all of the above—we have the engineering expertise to design a custom hauling solution that meets all safety and regulatory standards.
