Cargo-fit checklist

What Senate Freight checks before release.

The right equipment choice is a combination of cargo envelope, route, loading method, and handling safety.

  1. 01

    Plan lifting points, top access, and tarpaulin clearance before booking.

    Share packed dimensions, gross weight, photos, drawings, and handling notes for confirmation.

  2. 02

    Cargo above container height becomes out-of-gauge and needs carrier approval.

    Share packed dimensions, gross weight, photos, drawings, and handling notes for confirmation.

  3. 03

    Useful for machinery that cannot pass through standard end doors.

    Share packed dimensions, gross weight, photos, drawings, and handling notes for confirmation.
