Spetstyazhavtotrа́ns (Russian: Спецтяжавтотранс; IPA: [spʲɪt͡stʲɪʐəftɐˈtrans]) is a Russian company specializing in the shipment of oversized cargo. The group of companies provides engineering services to the oil, gas, chemical, energy and other industries.
The 1970s were years of construction in the USSR, with the building of industrial and energy complexes in the Soviet Union began: Atommash, Kureiskaya, Sayano-Shushenskaya, Sakhalin and other HPP, NPP, oil and gas pipelines in Western Siberia and the first petrochemical plants. Each required the transport of heavy cargo which could not be delivered in parts.
For its study in 1974, the State Committee of the Council of Ministers of the USSR created a temporary scientific and technical committee to prepare proposals for transporting oversized cargoes of a large mass (OCLM). Its proposals were reflected in the State Committee resolutions "On ensuring the transportation of large-sized and heavy energy and other industrial equipment and the development of related research and development work" and "Guidelines for the research and design work to ensure the transportation of the energy and other industrial equipment", dated 24 November 1976. These documents outlined the main problems of research and development work and measures to satisfy the needs of the national economy for equipment transportation, including the search for new technical and logistical solutions. In May 1976, a Spetstyazhavtotrans convoy was established in Gorky.
On 6 April 1978 Resolution 262 of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, "On measures to improve the organization of transportation of large-sized and heavy cargoes", was made. Among the series of measures, the establishment of the specialized research and production association (SRPA) Spetstyazhavtotrans was mandated.
By the early 1990s Spetstyazhavtotrans was a research and production group accounting, according to some estimates, for over 60 percent of oversize transport in the country. It consisted of five large trucking companies in Novgorod, Leningrad, Moscow and Astrakhan, with branches in other cities. Bases were established in Siberia, where there was a great need for transport, in cities which included Surgut, Noyabrsk and Nizhnevartovsk.
