Unconventional Cargo
Redefining What’s Possible
Transporting oversized, bulky, or uniquely shaped cargo is no easy task. It requires precision, expertise, and a whole lot of muscle – not just physical strength but logistical finesse. At Olympic Logistics, we thrive on challenges others might shy away from, and we’re here to tell you why we’re the perfect partner for all your hard-to-move shipping needs.
Success Stories
Here’s a look at some of the oversized freight we’ve successfully transported:
Specialized Transport for High-Value CNC Machinery
A CNC machining company needed to transport a high-value, oversized machine with intricate dimensions. Delays or damage could have led to significant financial losses.
Our team coordinated with expert riggers for safe loading, used specialized equipment for oversized freight, and ensured all insurance requirements were met. We oversaw the process on-site, guaranteeing secure transport.
The result? A seamless, on-time delivery with no damage. The client avoided costly setbacks, maintained trust with their own client, and praised the peace of mind our expertise provided.
Streamlined Supply Chain for a Growing Retailer
A retail business faced rising costs and delays due to a complex supply chain and an unreliable logistics provider.
We implemented a customized freight solution with real-time tracking, load optimization, and flexible shipping options. Within months, the client reduced shipping costs by 15% and improved on-time deliveries, meeting customer demand and boosting profitability.
Last-Minute Trade Show Rescue
With 48 hours until a major trade show, a client faced a logistics failure that jeopardized their ability to attend.
We mobilized resources immediately, coordinating expedited shipping, securing an unloading window, and providing on-site support. The booth was delivered and set up on time.
The client salvaged their event, generating leads and industry connections, and credited our speed and reliability for turning a near-miss into a success.
Seamless Multi-City Trade Show Logistics
A client needed to move a high-value display booth across multiple cities for consecutive trade shows.
We developed a multi-phase transport plan, using specialized crating and temperature-controlled shipping to protect the booth. Coordinating with event teams in each city, we ensured on-time delivery, smooth unloading, and setup.
The client completed their tour without disruptions, maximizing exposure and achieving success at every event.
What Defines Oversized and Bulky Freight?
Oversized and bulky freight refers to items that exceed standard shipping dimensions or weight limits, making traditional transportation methods unsuitable. Think of machinery, construction materials, large vehicles, or even unique, custom-built equipment. These items demand specialized handling, precise planning, and, most importantly, an experienced logistics partner.
Challenges of Shipping Oversized Freight
Transporting large cargo isn’t as simple as loading it onto a truck or ship. It presents unique challenges, including:
Compliance with Regulations
Oversized loads often require special permits and must adhere to strict transportation guidelines.
Special Equipment
Using the right equipment, such as cranes, forklifts, and flatbed trailers, to ensure safe and efficient transport.
Route Planning
Identifying routes that can accommodate large loads, avoiding low bridges, narrow roads, or weight-restricted areas.
Coordination and Timing
Shipping oversized freight often requires meticulous planning and precise timing, as specialized equipment and personnel are needed for loading and unloading. Delays or miscommunication can significantly disrupt operations.
