Heavy Duty Cargo Service Provider
Heavy-duty cargo refers to the global transportation of bulky, heavy, and high-value equipment and parts designed for a given project. It is also called a heavy lift and includes shipments of various components that need disassembly for shipment and reassembly following a delivery.
Generally, this cargo type cannot be loaded on the existing 20’,40’, 40’HC, or even the 45HC flat rack or an open-top container. For this particular reason, it is referred to as project cargo. In other words, as a result of its weight or size, the cargo cannot be taken by a standard container. In such cases, it has to be transported as a bulk load.
Heavy lift cargo is categorized as indivisible items weighing over a ton up to over a thousand tons and has widths or heights that exceed 100 meters.
Specialty vessels, vehicles, and equipment are needed to safely and effectively transport these items through land, air, or sea.
Heavy-duty cargo can be sourced internationally or from a single location. This sort of cargo is usually found in engineering, wind power, construction, and mining industries.
