This is a live shot of Senghor Logistics’ warehouse operations in the United States. This is a container shipped from Shenzhen, China to Los Angeles, USA, which is loaded with big-sized goods. Senghor Logistics’ US agent warehouse staff is using a forklift to lift the goods out.

As a professional freight forwarder, Senghor Logistics sometimes encounters inquiries for goods of abnormal sizes due to the diversity of overseas customer needs.

Therefore, in the choice of shipping method: choose the most suitable shipping method (road transportation, rail freight, sea freight or air freight) according to the size, weight and delivery time of the goods, but usually more customers choose sea freight. There are also some special containers available for different cargo types.

In loading planning and fixing:

Weight distribution: We will verify the weight and volume of each piece of goods that the customer needs to load in the container in order to make loading arrangements to keep the container shipping stable.

Protect and fix the goods: In the video, we recommend that customers and suppliers use cushioning materials such as wooden boxes to protect the goods from damage. Use appropriate fixing methods (belts, chains or wood blocks) to prevent movement during shipping process, such as when shipping vehicles.

Purchase insurance:

Purchase insurance for customers to prevent damage, loss or delay.

Warehouse handling:

1. Warehouse layout and design:

Space allocation: Designate specific areas within the warehouse for large-sized goods to ensure adequate space for handling and storage.

Aisles: Ensure aisles are clear and wide enough to accommodate large items so that equipment and personnel can move safely.

2. Material handling equipment:

Specialized equipment: Use forklifts, cranes, or other equipment specifically designed to handle oversized goods.

Senghor Logistics’ transportation and handling of oversized goods follows a carefully planned and safety-focused standard. By addressing these key issues and in transportation and warehousing, we can ensure the success of irregular or oversized cargo transportation while minimizing risk and maximizing shipping efficiency.
