Reliable Heavy Cargo Shipping Services

Heavy cargo shipping typically covers freight that exceeds standard size, weight, handling, or equipment requirements. Common examples include industrial machinery, construction materials, modular buildings, aerospace components, heavy equipment, and oversized loads. Sims Global Solutions coordinates specialized trailers, permitting, route planning, carrier selection, and tracking to help move complex cargo safely and efficiently.

Heavy cargo rates are based on cargo dimensions, weight, mileage, equipment type, permits, escorts, loading requirements, delivery access, and service urgency. Loads requiring RGN, lowboy, multi-axle, double drop, crane, rigging, or HAZMAT handling generally require more planning. Providing accurate specs and photos helps the team quote the right solution faster.
