The custom solutions you need for non-standard freight
Some shipments are simply too large, heavy, or complex for standard transportation. Massive equipment, industrial components, and oversized structures require carefully engineered logistics before they can move.
ACF Global Logistics plans and executes these movements through project cargo solutions built for complex freight. From route planning and specialized equipment to global transportation coordination, every step is designed to move large cargo safely and according to schedule.
All the ways we support project cargo
Route surveys and logistics
Evaluate transportation routes, infrastructure limitations, and shipment dimensions before cargo moves.
Heavy lift and oversized freight
Move large equipment and heavy components that exceed standard freight dimensions. Specialized handling and transportation methods support these complex shipments.
Multimodal transportation
Move project cargo through a combination of truck, air, and ocean transportation. Flexible routing helps ensure oversized shipments reach project sites and industrial facilities.
Port handling and terminal coordination
Manage cargo handling and logistics operations at ports and terminals. Coordinate port handling to keep large shipments moving smoothly through terminals
Site delivery coordination
Deliver project cargo directly to construction sites, industrial facilities, or energy projects. Logistics planning accounts for location-specific requirements and equipment handling needs.
Track shipments in real time
Keep an eye on shipment progress through our proprietary technology platform. Real-time updates appear in one interface so you can monitor cargo and stay on top of timelines.

Helping you navigate project cargo logistics
What is project cargo?
Project cargo refers to oversized, heavy, or complex shipments that require specialized logistics planning. These shipments often involve industrial equipment, machinery, or large components that cannot move through standard freight transportation.
What types of shipments require project cargo logistics?
Project cargo services are commonly used for large equipment, heavy machinery, energy infrastructure components, and construction materials. Any shipment that exceeds standard freight dimensions or requires specialized handling may fall into this category.
How are project cargo shipments planned?
Project cargo shipments require detailed planning before transportation begins. Factors such as cargo dimensions, route restrictions, handling requirements, and delivery conditions are reviewed to determine the safest and most efficient way to move the shipment.
Can project cargo move through multiple transportation modes?
Many project cargo shipments move through a combination of truck, ocean, and sometimes air transportation. Multimodal routing allows large shipments to move between ports, facilities, and final project sites.
How is project cargo tracked during transit?
Project cargo can be monitored through ACF Global Logistics’ proprietary technology platform. Real-time updates provide visibility into shipment progress throughout each stage of transportation.
What industries typically use project cargo logistics?
Industries such as energy, construction, manufacturing, infrastructure, and industrial engineering frequently rely on project cargo logistics. These sectors often move large equipment or components that require specialized transportation planning.
What is considered oversized cargo?
Oversized cargo refers to shipments that exceed standard freight dimensions or weight limits for typical transportation methods. These shipments often require specialized equipment, route planning, and handling procedures to move safely.
How do you determine the best route for oversized cargo?
Route planning takes into account cargo dimensions, weight restrictions, bridge clearances, road limitations, and port access. Careful evaluation helps ensure the shipment can move safely between origin and destination.
