Oversized & Heavy Freight
Machinery, vehicles and project cargo that exceed standard dimensions, planned with the aircraft in mind from day one.
HomeProducts & ServicesOversized & Heavy Freight
Overview
Oversized and heavy cargo — construction and mining equipment, generators, vehicles, oilfield equipment, large industrial components — has to fit through the aircraft door, sit within floor-loading limits and be secured for flight. That makes planning the whole job, not an afterthought.
We start with the dimensions and weight of each piece, check which aircraft can take them and whether a freighter or a full charter is the realistic option, then coordinate packing, transport to the airport and loading.
What this covers
- Construction, agricultural and mining machinery
- Vehicles, boats and aircraft components
- Oilfield, energy and power-generation equipment
- Large industrial components and project cargo
- Any piece that will not fit standard air cargo pallets or containers
How we handle it
Send exact measurementsLength, width, height, weight, centre of gravity and lifting points for each piece, plus drawings if available.
Match the aircraftPiece size and weight determine the aircraft type and whether main-deck (freighter-only) loading is needed.
Plan packing and transportCrating, lashing, permits and escorted road transport to the airport are arranged.
Load and deliverLoading is supervised and the receiver is briefed on offloading equipment at destination.
Documents you will typically need
- Technical drawings and weight / dimension sheet
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Fluid and battery statements (these may make part of the cargo dangerous goods)
- Export and import permits, and road transport permits where needed
Requirements vary by country, airline and commodity. We confirm exactly what applies to your shipment.
Frequently asked questions
Not always. Some heavy pieces fit on scheduled freighters. Others are only possible on a dedicated aircraft. We tell you early which applies — see our Charters page for how that works.
As soon as you have the dimensions. Heavy-lift planning needs lead time for aircraft, equipment and permits.
