Project & Heavy Lift
Out-of-gauge, over-weight and single-piece cargo that will not fit a container.
Modular refinery units, process skids, transformers, crushers, plant sections. Project cargo is not freight forwarding with bigger numbers — it is a route survey, a lifting study, permits, escorts, and a plan for every bridge, turn and overhead between the quay and the site.
A route survey is a drive of the actual route with the actual dimensions in hand: every bridge, turn, overhead cable and gate between the discharge point and the set-down position, measured rather than assumed.
An enquiry needs the certified weight from you, the dimensions including any protrusion, the lifting points, and the access constraints at the delivery site. With those we can tell you what is possible while the equipment is still on a drawing and its dimensions can still change.
What drives the cost
- cargo weight and dimensions
- mode and routing
- whether the cargo is regulated
- handling and storage at destination
- duty and levies, which are set by Customs and not by us
What drives the timeline
- whether documentation is in place before the cargo ships
- Customs examination selection
- port congestion at the time of arrival
- onward road access to the delivery site
What's included
- Route survey and feasibility study
- Multi-axle, lowbed and extendable trailer movements
- Lifting studies and crane coordination
- Breakbulk, flat rack and open top shipping
- Permits, escorts and road authority liaison
- Port, quay and jetty coordination
How we do it
- Feasibility and route survey
- Method statement and lifting plan
- Transport and shipping arrangement
- Port handling and discharge
- Escorted road movement
- Delivery and set-down at site
Questions
- How early should I involve you?
- Before the equipment is ordered, if possible. Dimensions that are trivial to change at the design stage become permits, police escorts and route modifications once the unit is built.
