THE RISK YOU'RE TAKING
Project Cargo Has No Margin for Error.
When the freight is oversized, high-value, or technically complex, the cost of using the wrong provider isn't a delay — it's a loss you can't recover.

Risk 01: Carriers Rejecting Your Load at the Port

Flat Rack and Open Top shipments require NCB inspection and exact specifications before the carrier accepts. Without a provider who knows the process, your cargo doesn't move — and detention costs accumulate.

Risk 02: Inadequate Securing That Invalidates Your Claim

OOG cargo that arrives damaged due to poor block & brace or insufficient lashing creates a claims nightmare. Insurers deny coverage when securing standards weren't met. The loss is entirely yours.

Risk 03: No Specialized Network When You Need It Most

Not every warehouse partner handles OOG, hazmat, or project cargo with specialized equipment. Using a general provider for complex cargo means corners get cut — or the operation simply can't be executed.

WHAT YOU GET
Specialized Handling for Non-Standard Cargo.
Every operation is coordinated end-to-end through our network of specialized partners across the U.S. — with one point of contact throughout.

Flat Rack & Open Top Transloading

Specialized container handling for oversized cargo that cannot be transported in standard enclosed containers. We coordinate every stage of the operation — from container pickup to final delivery — with the technical precision that complex freight demands.
  • Flat Rack (FR) and Open Top (OT) container handling
  • NCB inspection coordination
  • Tarping for cargo exposed to weather conditions
  • Container pickup from port or rail terminal
  • Roundtrip drayage to partner warehouse
  • Container return to carrier depot

CARGO TYPES

  • Heavy Machinery
  • Industrial Equipment
  • Steel Structures
  • Large Vehicles
  • Wind Turbine Parts
  • Construction Equipment
  • OOG Freight
  • Breakbulk Cargo

OOG Storage & Specialized Handling

Oversized and out-of-gauge cargo requires facilities and equipment that most standard warehouses cannot provide. Our network includes specialized partners with the infrastructure to receive, store, and stage project cargo safely and efficiently.
  • Outdoor and indoor OOG storage solutions
  • Forklift, crane, and heavy-lift equipment coordination
  • Crating and blocking for oversized items
  • Cargo segregation and staging
  • Inventory tracking and condition reporting
  • Flexible duration — short-term staging or long-term storage

LOCATIONS WITH OOG CAPACITY

  • Miami, FL
  • Houston, TX
  • New York / NJ
  • Los Angeles, CA
  • Baltimore, MD
  • Savannah, GA
  • Norfolk, VA
  • Chicago, IL
OOG capacity is concentrated at major ports. Availability at rail terminals and secondary cities is limited — we confirm feasibility before quoting every project.

Block & Brace / Securing Engineering

Proper securing is not optional for project cargo — it is a legal and contractual requirement. We ensure your cargo is blocked, braced, lashed, and secured to meet carrier requirements, NCB standards, and insurance conditions before it moves.
  • Block & brace engineering for OOG and heavy cargo
  • Lashing and tie-down to carrier specifications
  • Load distribution planning to meet weight limits
  • NCB-compliant securing for Flat Rack shipments
  • Photographic documentation of securing process
  • Compliance with international transport securing standards

WHY THIS MATTERS

  • Carrier Acceptance
  • Insurance Compliance
  • Claims Protection
  • NCB Standards
  • Legal Liability
Inadequate securing is one of the leading causes of rejected insurance claims on OOG freight. Our documentation ensures you have the evidence to support any future claim.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions About Project Cargo Handling.

NCB (National Cargo Bureau) inspection verifies that cargo on Flat Rack containers is properly secured and the load is safe for ocean transport. Some carriers require it mandatorily; others allow it at the client’s request. We always recommend it and coordinate the inspection as part of the operation. Note: NCB inspection for Flat Rack is only available as part of our transloading service — it is not offered as a standalone service.

Yes, with location-specific limitations. Overweight containers (20′ over 39,000 lbs / 40′ over 44,000 lbs) are handled at major ports. Availability is more limited at rail terminals and secondary cities. We confirm feasibility before quoting every project — never assume and never commit to what we can’t deliver.

To provide an accurate quote we need: cargo dimensions and weight, container type (Flat Rack, Open Top, or standard OOG), port or location, origin and destination, timeline, and any special requirements (hazmat, bonded, NCB, specific carrier). The more detail you provide, the faster and more accurate our quote will be.

OOG capacity is concentrated at major port cities (Miami, Houston, NJ/NY, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Savannah). Coverage at rail terminals and inland locations is limited and handled case-by-case. We source the closest capable partner and confirm availability before committing to any operation.

Yes. Cargo insurance is a separate service that we can coordinate alongside your project cargo operation. Given the value and complexity of project freight, we strongly recommend All-Risk coverage. Our team can provide a quote for both services simultaneously so your cargo is protected from the moment it moves.
