Project Freight by machinery specialists
Some shipments are not one machine but a whole operation: a plant relocation, a fleet of equipment, or cargo too large for any standard container. Project freight brings every part of that move into one plan, with one point of contact.
We start on site, cataloguing the cargo and building the packing list, then coordinate the dismantling, cranage, packaging, lashing and transport needed to get it all to the vessel. You get detailed costings up front and photo and marine surveyor reports along the way.

What makes cargo “out of gauge”
Over-width or over-height
Cargo wider or taller than a standard container, usually shipped on flat racks or open tops with extra space booked around it.
Over-weight
Items heavier than container or flat rack limits, which may need breakbulk or heavy-lift shipping.
Multi-piece
Large jobs split across many units, where the packing list and sequencing matter as much as the shipping itself.
