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.
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.
