Oversized Ratesbacktop

Our rates are calculated based on the cargo dimensions. Price depends on the overall length, width, height, and weight of the cargo and the type of service you select. Handling charges are also figured based on whether the cargo is to be loaded by the shipper to a flatrack or if it will be delivered to us as loose freight. 澳博体育app下载 offers port to port service only for oversized cargo.

  • Port to Port
    If you plan to arrange your own trucking to and from the ports, 澳博体育app下载 will manage the ocean transit part of your move between the mainland and Hawaii, or Guam. Oversized cargo can either be delivered to us as loose freight or loaded by the shipper to a flat rack. While flatrack dimensions vary slightly, these are the basic inside measurements of the flat rack sizes that can be utilized for Hawaii and Guam.

 

Obtaining A Flatrack For Loadingbacktop

You can arrange for a Uniform Intermodal Interchange Agreement (UIIA) approved trucking company to deliver a 澳博体育app下载 flatrack to your home or business and pick it up after you have loaded your cargo.

  • If you plan to ship your freight on a flatrack, it will be delivered to you on a chassis (wheels) raising the floor about four feet above the ground. 澳博体育app下载 does not provide ramps or lift-gates, tie-downs, or packing materials for loading.
  • Please be sure to ask the trucking company if they are a UIIA-approved carrier. If they are unsure about their interchange status, please have them contact the UIIA at 1-877-438-8442 or visit the UIIA website.

Lift On / Lift Off  Cargobacktop

This type of oversized cargo is non-wheeled, lighter than 50,000 pounds, and is handled on 澳博体育app下载's equipment. The shipper is responsible for arranging to have the freight unloaded from the truck delivering it. Depending on the dimensions and nature of the freight, a forklift or a crane will need to be planned in advance. In most cases, the handling can be done by the longshoremen, however, in Long Beach, there is a third-party forklift company that would need to be hired. Payment can either be made to them directly or the charges can be advanced to your 澳博体育app下载 freight bill.

Direct Transferbacktop

Freight that will have to be lifted onto and off the ship directly by a 澳博体育app下载 crane is known as a direct transfer. Diagrams of your freight showing lifting points may be required. Also, the date and time must be arranged prior to the cargo's arrival.
