Navigating oversized and heavy lift shipments can be a daunting task for businesses involved in international trade. From specialized equipment to complex logistics coordination, managing such cargo requires expertise and careful planning. At Everglory Logistics, we understand the unique challenges associated with oversized shipments and are here to provide you with the guidance and support you need to ensure smooth and successful transportation.
Understanding the Challenges:
Oversize and heavy lift shipments encompass a wide range of cargo types, including machinery, equipment, vehicles, and industrial components. These shipments often require specialized handling and transportation methods due to their size, weight, and dimensions. As a result, businesses may encounter extra costs and labor associated with:
- Specialized Equipment: Oversize shipments may require specialized equipment such as flatbed trucks, lowboy trailers, or cranes for loading and unloading. Not all overweight shipments are oversized. Did you know that there are chassis options when space isn’t an issue but weight is?
- Route Planning: Transporting oversize cargo may involve route planning to avoid low bridges, narrow roads, and other obstacles that could impede the movement of the shipment. Do you know how to coordinate with a city to temporarily remove a light pole to make a tight corner on the way to a port? We do.
- Permits and Regulations: Oversize shipments may require permits and compliance with regulations imposed by local authorities, transportation agencies, and regulatory bodies. Taking down poles requires a number of legal and legislative approval processes. Local experts are key and our network is unbeatable.
- Changes in Processes: Handling oversize cargo may necessitate changes in warehouse operations, loading procedures, and documentation processes to accommodate the unique requirements of the shipment. Know what you need before you need it with Everglory.
