Out of Gauge (OOG) Transport Services in Purfleet, Tilbury and Nationwide
Here at KBC Logistics Ltd, we are a long-established logistics company with links to every major UK port.
We provide transportation for blue-chip companies, delivering goods to depots across the country. We tackle various commercial goods, including wide/abnormal loads, with no job being too complex for our dedicated team.
If your cargo is too big to be transported in a standard six-sided shipping container, we have out of gauge haulage services tailored to your needs. Out of gauge, otherwise known as OOG, refers to cargo that exceeds 40HC container dimensions or 12.19m x 2.44m x 2.99m (L x W x H). Such cargo is required to be transported with maximum care and forward planning. We are specialists in large cargo handling, priding ourselves on professional and efficient OOG transport – without compromising safety.
OOG Haulage
When it comes to out of gauge haulage, nothing can ever be left to chance. That is why we liaise directly with our customers to gather as much information as possible before finalising the details of the transport. Details such as the type of cargo, site access and necessary haulage equipment are all essential for success.
An OOG shipment can be refused at arrival if not transported correctly, so we do everything within our powers to prevent this from happening and causing unexpected delays. Part of our preparations include the study of technical diagrams about the load involved, its haulage requirements and any other relevant information about lifting and transporting the OOG cargo securely (such as the centre of gravity and lifting points).
Wide & Abnormal Loads Transport
Due to the more complex logistics of OOG transport, accurate timelines are crucial and planned well in advance so those present at the port and the point of delivery are fully prepared. We work with cargo handlers and terminal operatives at every stage, so there are no surprises.
When it comes to out of gauge haulage services, no two jobs are the same. There are various types of OOG containers and transport options for your cargo, including roll-on roll-off (RORO) and open top and flat rack containers. With our years of experience, we understand how best your cargo can be transported. Our team possess exceptional organisational skills and go above and beyond to ensure the smooth transportation of your goods with the necessary vehicles to facilitate a successful supply chain.
