Project cargo, refrigerated, hazardous and out-of-gauge shipments need engineered solutions — not a checkbox on a quote form. Our specialists own these moves end-to-end, from route survey to final lift. 20+ years of cargo that doesn't fit the mould.
A transformer that weighs 90 tonnes. A reefer of vaccines that fails if it drifts two degrees. A class-3 flammable that needs IMDG paperwork before it touches a quay. A turbine blade that overhangs the trailer by four metres. None of these move on a standard rate card — they need a specialist who has done it before, because the cost of getting it wrong is a damaged asset, a rejected shipment, or a detained vessel.
We run four specialist desks: project & heavy-lift, reefer cold chain, dangerous goods, and out-of-gauge breakbulk. Each is owned by people who have spent years on exactly that cargo — engineering a lift plan, verifying a set-point, classifying a UN number, designing a lashing scheme. Not a generalist reading off a checklist.
And because we also run the freight, customs and warehousing around it, the specialty move doesn't sit in a silo. The route survey informs the booking; the DG declaration is filed with the customs entry; the reefer plug-in is arranged at the bonded yard. One team owns the whole chain — so the hard part doesn't fall between two vendors.
Heavy-lift and out-of-gauge moves start with a route survey and a lift study, not a guess. We model the crane geometry, axle loads, bridge clearances and securing scheme before the cargo leaves the factory — so the first time the plan is tested isn't on a live quay with a 90-tonne piece in the air.
A reefer move is only as good as its weakest link — the gap at the port, the plug-out during trucking, the set-point nobody verified. We verify the set-point at stuffing, supply GenSet power for every off-power leg, and log temperature end-to-end so you get a continuous chart, not a shrug, if a buyer queries the cold chain.
One wrong declaration and a vessel detains your container, or a carrier blacklists your account. Our IMDG and IATA DGR-certified handlers review the MSDS, classify the UN number, specify UN-approved packaging and segregation, and file the DG declaration with the booking — so the cargo is accepted first time, not bounced at the terminal.
Wind turbines, transformers, plant equipment and infrastructure moves — engineered transport from factory floor to project site. The lift is planned before the cargo is built, not improvised on the quay.
Temperature-controlled reefer containers and end-to-end cold-chain integrity for seafood, pharma, fresh produce and dairy. The set-point is verified and logged, not assumed.
Class 2-9 dangerous goods by sea and air, with full IMDG/IATA documentation and certified packing. The declaration is filed with the booking, so the cargo is accepted first time — not detained at the terminal.
Out-of-gauge moves on flat-rack, open-top and breakbulk vessels for cargo that won't fit a standard 40ft container. The securing scheme is designed to class-society standards, not improvised dockside.
One named specialist owns your move from feasibility study to final lift — no inbox tag.
We assess the cargo and the route — dimensions, weight, temperature or DG class — and produce the plan: lift study, lashing scheme, set-point spec or UN classification, whatever the move demands.
Special permits, escort and route clearances arranged; equipment booked — flat-rack, open-top, reefer with GenSet, SPMT or crane. DG declaration filed, UN-spec packaging and segregation confirmed.
The move executed to plan — supervised lift, secured load, monitored transit. Cold chain logged, oversized loads escorted, DG segregation maintained. Our specialist is on-site or on-call throughout.
Final placement at site, set-down supervised, condition documented with photos. Cold-chain log and DG paperwork handed over, delivery signed off — a clean record for your insurer, buyer or auditor.
The most common things shippers ask us about heavy-lift, reefer cold chain, dangerous goods and out-of-gauge moves. If yours isn't here, the specialist desk responds in 2 business hours.
Share the cargo specs — weight, dimensions, temperature or DG class — and your timeline. We come back with a feasibility view, an engineered plan and a transparent quote — no obligation.
