Types of Transport Solutions for Out of Gauge Cargo
When it comes to transporting out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo, various specialised transport solutions are available to handle oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped loads, ensuring safe and efficient delivery across different routes and destinations.
Flat Rack Containers
Flat rack containers are specialised shipping containers with collapsible sides, designed to facilitate the easy loading and unloading of out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo. They are ideal for transporting loads that exceed the height or width of standard containers. Available in various sizes, including 20ft and 40ft, flat rack containers can carry loads of up to 45,000 kg.
Open Top Containers
Open-top containers are like standard shipping containers but feature a removable tarpaulin roof. This design allows for easy loading and unloading of oversized or bulky cargo, such as pipes, steel coils, and other irregularly shaped items. Open-top containers are available in various sizes, including 20ft and 40ft, and can carry loads of up to 28,000 kg.
Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) Ships
RoRo ships are specialised vessels for wheeled cargo, such as cars, lorries, and heavy machinery. They have a ramp that facilitates easy loading and unloading, and the cargo is securely fastened during transit. RoRo ships are ideal for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.
Break Bulk Shipping
Break bulk shipping involves the transportation of non-containerised cargo, such as steel, timber, and heavy machinery. The cargo is loaded and unloaded individually into the ship’s hold, with cargo handling equipment used to move the items on and off the vessel. Break bulk shipping is ideal for transporting cargo that is too large or heavy to fit into standard shipping containers.
Flatbed Trailers
Flatbed trailers are specialised trailers designed for transporting oversized or bulky cargo. They feature a flat, open bed with no sides or roof, allowing easy loading and unloading. Available in various sizes, flatbed trailers can carry loads of up to 48,000 kg. They are commonly used for transporting heavy machinery, steel products, and other large or oversized items.
Heavy-Lift Air Cargo
Heavy-lift air cargo involves transporting oversized or heavy items by air. Specialised cargo planes are used, with cranes and other equipment employed for loading and unloading. This method is ideal for moving urgent or time-sensitive cargo over long distances.
