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

    Confirm roof opening length for long crates and machine bases.

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

  2. 02

    Oversized height, width, or lashing needs a carrier OOG review.

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

  3. 03

    Share drawings early so terminal handling and lifting method can be checked.

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