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

    Strong starting point for heavy cargo where volume is not the main constraint.

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

  2. 02

    Confirm floor loading and weight concentration for machinery or dense skids.

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

  3. 03

    Useful for LCL-to-FCL planning when cartons can be tightly blocked and braced.

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