Cargo Design Support
Supporting cargo design for global delivery
Limited options mean higher prices. So don't get too far in the cargo design process before you consider the impact of transportation. What are the maximum cargo dimensions for design and manufacture of a product so you can cost effectively reach your global markets? Should it be modularized, separated into smaller sections for transport, and then reassembled at site? How will cargo need to be loaded, lashed and secured en route? How do you incorporate proper lifting/tie-down points to support this? These are some of the cargo design questions our experienced staff can help you answer.
Rely on us to:
- Execute detailed route surveys based on the proposed size of the cargo and identify restrictions or risks en route from the proposed supplier's global location to the final project delivery site
- Advise on maximum shipping dimensions along specific shipping corridors so you understand your options and limitations for design
- Develop freight quotations for various cargo configurations to help you determine the total cost impact of changes in your design and assembly strategy
- Liaise with carriers, rigging and crane companies to understand their handling procedures and requirements
- Evaluate the cargo design to ensure that optimal shipping dimensions, lift and tie-down points and crating specifications are incorporated
