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.
