OOG Shipping Case Studies: Real Out-of-Gauge Projects

Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Cargo in Action

OOG cargo exceeds standard container dimensions - width, height, length or weight. It moves on flat racks and open-top containers with careful stowage. Here are real projects SPEED INT'L has shipped from China to Africa.

Case 1: 42 Excavators to Mombasa

42 units of construction excavators shipped OOG on flat racks - each machine secured with steel chain lashing and blocking, discharged at Mombasa and delivered to Kenyan mining sites.

Cargo: 42 excavators | Equipment: flat racks | Route: China → Mombasa

Case 2: Two Heavy Tractors on Flat Rack

Two heavy-duty tractors, each over 20 tons, loaded on a single flat rack - engineered lashing and center-of-gravity verification, delivered to an agri-project in West Africa.

Cargo: 2 x 20T tractors | Equipment: 1 flat rack | Route: China → West Africa

OOG FAQ

Q: What dimensions count as OOG?

A: Anything wider than 2.35m, taller than 2.39m (for 40HQ) or heavier than standard container payload - roughly 20+ tons for 40HQ.

Q: What does OOG shipping cost?

A: Flat rack/open top equipment surcharge plus lashing and handling - typically 20-40% above standard FCL, but cheaper than break bulk for moderate oversize.
