When cargo does not fit the standard, the solution starts with its
dimensions, weight and handling needs. Heavy and oversized movement
requires a shipment-specific feasibility review.
When cargo doesn’t fit the standard, we build the solution around its dimensions, weight and handling needs.
PROJECT / OOG CARGODifferent cargo. A specific plan.DIMENSIONS / WEIGHT / HANDLING
01
Oversized Machinery
DIMENSIONS & ACCESS
Review packed dimensions, access points, lift locations and securing requirements.
02
Heavy Equipment
WEIGHT & LIFTING
Assess piece weights, support points, lifting needs and transport feasibility.
03
Industrial Cargo
SEQUENCE & SITE READINESS
Coordinate project components, dispatch sequences and site receiving requirements.
02 / EQUIPMENT STRATEGY
Find a practical handling approach.
Flat RackOpen Top
Equipment examples illustrate possible planning options; not every
type is suitable for project cargo. Final selection depends on the
specific load and carrier approval.
03 / OUTSIDE THE GAUGE
Different dimensions. Different ways to move.
Flat rack, open top or break bulk? Start with the cargo profile to review a suitable handling approach.
01
OPEN-SIDE SUPPORT
Flat Rack Cargo
Open-side equipment can accommodate certain oversized pieces, subject to footprint, securing, weight distribution and approved overhang.
02
ACCESS FROM ABOVE
Open Top Cargo
Top loading may help tall or crane-loaded cargo. Opening dimensions, roof arrangements and over-height acceptance require confirmation.
03
INDIVIDUAL PIECE HANDLING
Break Bulk
Individual cargo pieces handled outside standard container arrangements. Vessel handling, lifting, stowage and port capability require a specific plan.
04
BEYOND THE ENVELOPE
OOG ? Out of Gauge
Cargo extends beyond the usual equipment envelope. Supply complete drawings to assess approvals, handling and route constraints.
Equipment and handling options are subject to cargo details, route feasibility and carrier approval.
04 / FEASIBILITY FIRST
Review the details. Then build the route.
A practical movement plan starts with the cargo and connects every handling decision before dispatch.

USEFUL ANSWERS
Before you move your cargo.
What counts as OOG cargo?+
Cargo that extends outside the normal dimensions of the selected
transport equipment. Suitability is assessed against the actual
equipment and transport plan.
Can I book using estimated dimensions?+
Initial planning may begin with estimates, but accurate final
packed dimensions and weights are needed for equipment and
carrier approval.
Are route surveys and lifting arrangements included?+
Only if expressly agreed. Identify survey, lifting, securing,
permits and site responsibilities during the feasibility review.
