Heavy Lift Logistics: Exporting Mobile Cranes from China to Africa

As infrastructure development rapidly accelerates across the African continent, the demand for heavy construction machinery has reached unprecedented levels. Recently, SPEED Freight has successfully managed a massive wave of heavy mobile crane exports, securing reliable break bulk space for our clients amidst tight maritime capacities.

The Challenge: Handling Extreme Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Machinery

Shipping mobile cranes is a highly specialized task. Unlike standard cargo, these engineering giants present unique logistical hurdles:

• Oversized Dimensions: Cranes are typically over-height and over-width, making them impossible to fit into standard containers and requiring specialized break bulk handling.
• Tight Port Resources: With current shipping schedules being tight and terminal resources limited, securing timely vessel space for massive equipment requires strong carrier relationships.
