Heavy cargo is not just goods with a large weight. Loads such as heavy equipment, industrial machines, generators, transformers, boilers, steel structures, and project equipment require special handling and transportation.

In the process, several things need to be considered from the start:

  • Cargo profile — weight, dimensions and characteristics of goods

  • Fleet selection — trailer, flat rack, breakbulk, LCT, or mode others

  • Route survey — ensure the route can be traversed safely

  • Loading & unloading — determine lifting and handling methods

  • Permits & documents — adjust the characteristics and delivery route

  • Cargo safety — ensure the cargo is safe during the journey

For large or overweight cargo, Route planning and equipment readiness are important parts so that the risk of obstacles on the way can be minimized.

Heavy Cargo, It's Not Just About Weight

Each cargo has different needs. Therefore, proper planning from the start can help create a safer, more scalable and efficient delivery process.
