Shipping Over-sized Cargo and Equipment Overseas International heavy equipment shipping of over-sized cargo is a matter of detail, proper planning and execution. The cost will depend on the actual size of the freight, machinery or heavy equipment being transported. What is over-size freight? It’s any cargo that doesn’t fit inside a 40′ cargo shipping container. Some machinery and equipment just don’t have the proper dimensions to fit the standard specifications of an international heavy equipment shipping container service. The methods in which to figure if your cargo will fit within the proper shipping methods, see the cargo shipping container sizes below: Drayage/inland Full container load (FCL) Consolidation Capabilities PO management Hazmat & temp control Expedited Out of gauge/special equipment See More How Shipping Heavy Equipment Overseas Works There are a few different options to choose from when shipping over-sized cargo overseas. When shipping heavy equipment overseas there are specialty processes we use in order to facilitate them. The following methods are our most popular ways of shipping oversize freight. Flat Rack Shipping Method This essentially uses a large container minus the walls and roof. It’s common when shipping boats overseas, trucks, RVs and heavy machinery. Often, these flat racks are the last items loaded onto a ship. This means the cargo will generally be more exposed to the elements over the course of the sailing. To combat this, especially with longer shipment duration, we shrink wrap newer vehicles and equipment. Roll-On Roll-Off (RoRo) Using the RoRo method for shipping oversize freight internationally is another option. This type of transport is cost effective and simple for large vehicles like trucks, motor homes and RVs. When shipping over-sized vehicles overseas, having wheels becomes a major benefit. They roll onto the shipping vessel below deck and out of the elements. Generally, operators adhere to a 15-foot height restriction for the loading ramp going into the hull of the ship. Lift-On Lift-Off (LoLo) As it implies, transporting with lift on lift off happens for vessels that don’t have storage in the hull. So a crane loads all the items, machines, or equipment onto the deck. Shipping over-sized cargo that has been crated and vehicles that aren’t running are quite common with this method. What is Breakbulk Shipping? Breakbulk shipping is another common term when talking about shipping oversized cargo or heavy equipment. In this case breakbulk shipping is where the goods are loaded onto the top of the shipping vessel. Generally we try to load whatever we can into the vessel itself so your equipment isn’t subject to the elements. Sometimes though the cargo is too large to fit through the opening and must be breakbulk cargo. Once you begin working with a Titan rep, we’ll let you know if breakbulk cargo is what you need.
