Out of Gauge Service

 

OOG, which stands for Out of Gauge, refers to cargo that exceeds the dimensions of a standard shipping container, making it unable to fit within the confines of a traditional container. This type of freight can be exceptionally large or may have protruding appendages that prevent it from being accommodated in standard 20-foot, 40-foot, or 53-foot containers. OOG cargo requires specialized handling and transportation arrangements due to its non-conformance with standard container dimensions. Specialized equipment, such as flat racks or open-top containers, may be utilized to accommodate and secure OOG cargo for shipping. The classification of OOG helps identify and address the unique logistical requirements associated with oversized or irregularly shaped freight.
