Oversized Cargo Transportation Methods
Transporting oversized cargo requires the right shipping method to ensure safe, efficient, and cost-effective delivery. At MCC World International, we offer a range of specialised solutions tailored to your freight’s dimensions, weight, and unique requirements. Here are the key methods we use:
Roll-On Roll-Off (RoRo)
RoRo is one of the most economical and practical ways to transport motorised vehicles or cargo that can be rolled or towed onto the vessel. This method minimises handling and ensures quick loading and unloading, reducing the risk of damage.
Ideal For:
- Motorised vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, tractors, and cranes).
- Cargo that can be transported on trailers, such as boats, caravans, and motorhomes.
Key Features:
- Cargo enters and exits the vessel via a ramp.
- Height limitations apply, typically around 14 feet.
Standard and High-Cube Shipping Containers
When RoRo isn’t an option, standard or high-cube containers offer a secure and weather-protected solution for oversized cargo that fits within container dimensions. High-cube containers provide an extra foot of vertical space, accommodating taller items.
Best For:
- Freight that can fit within a 40ft container or be disassembled to fit.
- Sensitive cargo requiring added protection from weather conditions.
Advantages: This method ensures maximum safety for cargo during transit while maintaining efficiency.
Flat Racks
Flat racks are designed for cargo that exceeds the height or width limits of standard containers. With no sides or roofs, flat racks accommodate uniquely shaped or over-dimensional items while allowing secure fastening during transit.
Suited For:
- Large boats or yachts.
- Small aircraft.
- Industrial machinery or equipment too tall for enclosed containers.
Lift-On Lift-Off (LoLo)
For non-motorised or extremely bulky freight, LoLo shipping involves lifting the cargo onto and off the vessel using cranes. This method is perfect for oversized loads that are crated or challenging to manoeuvre.
Commonly Used For:
- Non-operational vehicles.
- Crated oversized cargo.
- Large yachts or bulky industrial components.
At MCC World International, we ensure that your cargo is transported using the best-suited method. Our experienced team will evaluate your freight’s requirements and tailor a solution that guarantees safe and timely delivery. Whether it’s RoRo, containers, flat racks, or LoLo, you can rely on us for expertise at every step.
