Out of Gauge (OOG)

What is the transport of “out of gauge” goods?

Goods are said to be “out of gauge” when they cannot be transported in a container with standard dimensions (20/40’ dry or High Cube).These are generally large, heavy, packed or unpacked gear, machinery, vehicles or equipment that can be transported. Due to their unique sizes, OOG cargo typically requires open-top containers or flatbed containers to be stored safely during transport.

Specialized containers

The “Open Top” container allows loading on the bridge or by crane for oversized goods at height. Depending on this height, the container may or may not be covered.

Flat Bed Trailer and Trucks:

Bulky parcels, vehicles, equipment, etc. are loaded directly onto the bed. Loading is done either by cranes or by onboard Knuckleboom cranes. For very large or very heavy loads, a direct pick-up on a truck may be considered.

  • Upon receipt of your package, a tailor-made study will be carried out to determine the best option (depending on the nature, dimensions of the goods, technical and administrative constraints, etc.) and ensure transport in the best safety conditions.
  • All the stages of the expedition will be examined: pre-transport, pre-routing to determine the best road route, installation on-site, legalization of documents, and securing permission with Transport Authority and Police.

The solution will include both the tariff proposal and the technical proposal, taking into account the notice required.
