EXG Optimise Transport of Oversized Cold Boxes

19th February 2025

Express Global Logistics (EXG) have successfully executed a complex logistics project, delivering heavy lift cold boxes and associated accessories. This critical multimodal project showcases EXG's prowess in managing oversized cargo through a combination of maritime and land transportation routes.

The project involved the transportation of 9 packages, featuring four oversized cold boxes with remarkable dimensions of 33.5 x 4.95 x 4.00m. With a total gross weight of 390mt and a volume of 2,500frt, the operation demanded precise and specialised handling.

The cargo's journey began at an Eastern Chinese port, traversing international waters before reaching Western India. From there, the shipment embarked on an extensive 1,500km inland journey to its final destination in the Northern part of India.

To ensure the safe & efficient transportation of the extraordinary cargo, EXG mobilised an impressive fleet of specialised equipment:

3 mechanical trailers
40 hydraulic axles
3 spacers
4 pullers

This carefully selected equipment combination proved essential for maintaining cargo integrity throughout the diverse terrain encountered during transit.

The project's success hinged on significant infrastructure modifications along the transport route. EXG coordinated extensive civil works, including the expansion of toll plaza passages and the modification of sharp turns to accommodate the oversized loads. These preparatory measures were crucial for ensuring unimpeded movement of the cargo.

The transportation of such exceptional cargo required comprehensive coordination with multiple authorities. EXG secured all necessary permits and arranged police escorts across various jurisdictions. This meticulous attention to regulatory compliance and safety protocols enabled smooth interstate movement while minimizing disruption to regular traffic flow.

"This successful project delivery reinforces EXG's position as a leader in complex logistics solutions. By combining strategic planning, cutting-edge equipment, and expert execution, EXG continues to demonstrate its capability in handling challenging transportation projects that require specialised knowledge and innovative approaches.

The seamless completion of this project stands as a testament to EXG's commitment to excellence in project logistics, offering reliable solutions for the most demanding transportation requirements."
