Options in Logistics Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo To the Countryside

• Container Dispatching—One of the safest and most common ways to ship cargo internationally is via a container. However, because containers are limited to 40 feet, container shipping isn’t always suitable for larger freight, and another option may be more ideal.
• Flat Rack Delivery—Flat racks are essentially shipping containers without walls and a roof. This setup allows them to fit the most unusual types of cargo that couldn’t be created otherwise. Freight is typically exposed to the elements with this type of dispatching due to unsackable flat racks stored on top of the ship during transit. Shrink wrapping is an option for extra protection if necessary.
• LoLo Dispatching—LoLo is short for Lift On/Lift Off, and its purpose is to lift inoperable freight from the dock to the vessel and back again at the port. It is very useful in delivering oversized items that wouldn’t otherwise fit into a container.
• RoRo delivery- Roll-on/roll-off, more often known as RoRo, is the most cost-effective and time-efficient way of exporting internationally. To use RoRo, your load must be self-propelled and able to make its way from the pier to the ship's hull. The cheapest way to transport anything is by securing it to the deck inside a ship's hull.
