Shipping Out of Gauge Cargo? Here’s How We Handle Oversized Freight

Need to ship something oversized?
Think exhibition materials, aerospace parts, industrial equipment—the kind of freight that doesn’t play by the rules. At Transportify, oversized cargo isn’t a problem. It’s what we do best.

From awkward dimensions to tight deadlines, this is how we simplify out-of-gauge logistics, across the UK, Europe, and beyond.


What Counts as Oversized Freight?

Oversized or Out-of-Gauge (OOG) freight is any shipment that exceeds the standard dimensions of a container, trailer, or pallet. This might mean:

  • Height or width overhang
  • Irregular shapes
  • Extra-heavy loads
  • Special handling requirements

In most cases, you’ll need specialist vehicles, route planning, permits, and customs expertise. That’s where we come in.


How Transportify Makes It Work

We’ve built our reputation on solving the tricky stuff. Here’s how we help:

1. Custom Routing & Permits

We identify the safest, fastest route—including permits for abnormal loads.

2. Specialist Vehicles

Flatbeds, extendables, low loaders—whatever the job demands, we’ve got access.

3. Dedicated Ops Team

Your shipment gets personal attention. No handoffs. No guesswork.

4. Global Freight Options

Road, air, or sea—we’ll build a route that gets your shipment there, fast.

5. Customs? Sorted.

Our in-house brokerage team handles UK export paperwork and liaises directly with agents in the UAE, EU, and beyond.


Real-World Example

🚨 Case Study: Aerospace Shipment to Dubai
One of our most expensive (and impressive) projects involved moving time-critical aerospace cargo from London to Maastricht for re-export to the UAE. The cargo was oversized, sensitive, and under pressure.

We handled:

  • T1 transit documentation
  • Time-critical road transfer
  • Coordination with UAE clearance agents
  • Seamless air freight and final delivery

Delivered on time. No drama.
