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

    Often preferred for furniture, retail displays, packaging material, and low-density cargo.

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

  2. 02

    Door height improves access, but route availability still needs confirmation.

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

  3. 03

    Check inland clearance where high-cube equipment is subject to local restrictions.

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