Introduction: The Challenge of Oversized Cargo

In the ever-evolving world of logistics, one challenge that continues to perplex shippers and freight forwarders alike is the transportation of oversized cargo.

Understanding Oversized Cargo: Definitions and Dimensions

Before delving into the solutions, it's crucial to understand what qualifies as oversized cargo. Generally, oversized or long goods are items that exceed standard shipping dimensions and require special handling. At FreightAmigo, we categorize these goods into two main types:

Type 1 Long Goods

These are items with the following dimensions:

• Maximum height: 2.2 m
• Maximum width: 1.2 m
• Maximum longest side: 2.4 - 3.0 m
• Maximum weight on the package's level: 1,500 kg

Type 2 Long Goods

This category includes items with these specifications:

• Maximum height: 0.4 m
• Maximum width: 0.4 m
• Maximum longest side: 3.0 - 6.0 m
• Maximum items: 10
• Maximum weight: 30 kg

Understanding these categories is essential for proper planning and execution of oversized cargo shipments. At FreightAmigo, we've developed our Digital Logistics Platform to easily accommodate these specifications, ensuring that your oversized goods are handled with the utmost care and efficiency.
