A cargo is considered oversized if it exceeds the ordinary or standard legal dimensions or weight for a certain freight method such as ground, rail, ocean or air. Most oversize cargoes include construction machines and equipment such as cranes and backhoes. What constitutes an oversized cargo varies between countries and regions of the same country. Special permits are therefore required to transport such cargo. This permit, which comes at an extra fee, specifies routes, dates and time that the shipment must adhere to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When choosing a shipping company for your oversized cargo, make sure the company has experience in handling such regulations to avoid having your cargo held up for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shipping methods on offer include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This shipping method uses a load platform- or simply a container with no walls or roof. Cargo is simply stacked on the platform surface and then strapped. Flat rack shipping allows easy loading and unloading of goods. When using ocean freight, flat rack cargo is last to be loaded into the ship and as such, they may face harsh weather elements. We offer shrink-wrapping services to willing customers to combat that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the name suggests, Roll-on Roll-off shipping method involves rolling the cargo onto the ship below deck. It is a very reliable and cost-effective shipping method for such oversized cargo as RVs and motorhomes as well as trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This method is mostly used in shipping vessels that don\u2019t have a storage area in the hull. It involves loading the cargo onto the vessel's deck with the aid of a crane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
