Project cargo and oversized freight coordination
Outside the box.
Inside the plan.
Some freight calls for a different approach. We work through the dimensions, lifting needs, route and handling arrangements before selecting the right transport solution.

What we coordinate
Non-standard freight.
A considered approach.
Thoughtful coordination for oversized, heavy and non-standard freight.
Oversized equipment
Flat-rack and open-top options considered alongside the cargo’s dimensions, weight and securing requirements.
Project coordination
A shipment plan that connects international transport with port handling, clearance and the destination site.

Coordinate the movement and final handover
Planning your project cargo
The route starts with the technical detail.
The right solution depends on more than whether a machine will fit in a container. Supply drawings, photos, packed dimensions, gross weight, lifting details and any handling restrictions. Identify provisional measurements so they can be confirmed before carrier or equipment commitments are made.
International transport, port handling and the destination site need to be assessed together. Explain who will unload, what equipment will be available and whether site access or a delivery appointment is required. Specific equipment, permits and specialist services are subject to assessment and confirmation.

A brief we can build on.
- Final dimensions and weight, with estimates clearly identified
- Photographs, drawings and lifting or securing information
- Collection and destination access, including site restrictions
- Ready date, required delivery and unloading responsibilities
Understand the scope
Equipment selection
Standard containers, open-top or flat-rack equipment and break bulk need an individual assessment. A dimensional drawing is more useful than a generic equipment label.
Specialist coordination
Route, permits, lifting arrangements and handling capability are subject to review. Confirm which specialist services are included before making commitments.
Receiving readiness
A machine reaching port is not the same as a site ready to accept it. Align the lifting plan, delivery booking and receiving team before the final movement.
From Australia to your customer
Exporting machinery or oversized equipment
Start at the Australian factory or collection site, not only at the overseas discharge port. Confirm access, packing dimensions, lifting points, loading equipment and who is responsible for securing the cargo. The booked equipment and route must connect with the overseas receiving site. Share drawings and the buyer’s receiving requirements early so each specialist handover can be assessed.

Your questions.
Answered.
What information helps you plan a project shipment?
Dimensions, weight, centre of gravity where relevant, lifting points, photographs and technical drawings help establish the handling requirements.
Can you quote before the equipment is ready?
Yes. Early planning is useful. Let us know the expected ready date and flag any dimensions or weights that are still provisional.
Can we begin planning with provisional dimensions?
Yes, provided estimates are clearly marked. Final measurements, weights and handling requirements must be confirmed before the relevant bookings are committed.
Does fitting inside a container make the shipment suitable?
Not by itself. Loading access, weight distribution, securing, handling and the inland route must also be assessed.
