Chat on WhatsAppChoose an ocean freight option by cargo volume, packed dimensions, weight distribution and loading method. Furniture, machinery and heavy cargo do not all need the same container.
LCL ocean freight combines shipments in one container. It can suit smaller furniture and equipment orders that the consolidation warehouse accepts. Charges depend on the quoted weight/measurement basis, minimum charges, handling and any non-stackable space.
FCL can suit whole-home furniture shipments, bulk commercial orders or concentrated equipment loads. Common standard options include 20-foot, 40-foot and 40-foot high-cube containers. Select the size using packed cargo dimensions, door clearance and load distribution.
An open top container allows loading from above and can accommodate certain over-height cargo. Share the final dimensions, lifting method and securing requirements. Include crates, bases and other packing in the measurements.
A flat rack can accommodate certain over-width, over-length or heavy equipment. Out-of-gauge cargo extends beyond the relevant container envelope and can incur additional slot and handling charges. Provide drawings and a weight distribution plan for this option.
For large indivisible equipment beyond container loading options, discuss breakbulk shipping. Planning covers the ocean loading method, lifting arrangements, cargo securing and destination handling.
