Many equipment exporters struggle with oversized, out-of-gauge cargo: inefficient cross-time-zone communication for overseas loading, language barriers, and no one on-site to supervise and follow up.
Today, MYU Logistics takes you straight to the Barcelona on-site loading scene. This shipment is special oversized cargo that regular containers simply cannot carry, so we used FR (Flat Rack) containers paired with European special inland trailers, with our team on-site supervising the entire process.
Why Must Special Cargo Use FR Flat Racks?
Because this shipment is over-height, over-width, and over-weight, a standard container simply cannot carry it. That is why FR (Flat Rack) containers are required, matched with special vehicles to complete the inland transport.
During loading, we followed up throughout on cargo positioning, lashing and reinforcement, and on-site coordination, ensuring the loading plan was executed as scheduled.
After on-site confirmation, the cargo is transported to the port to await vessel loading. This is one of the ongoing special cargo projects MYU Logistics runs locally in Europe.
FR flat racks, OT (Open Top) containers, out-of-gauge equipment transport — we always insist on full-process follow-up.
Local European Team On-Site, First-Hand Response
The MYU Logistics team is based right here in Europe, able to arrive on-site immediately, coordinate loading progress in real time, and handle any issues during transport — so clients can stay updated on project progress without cross-time-zone communication.
MYU Logistics provides inland trailer delivery of empty containers to the factory area, equipped with special low-bed trailers, combined with on-site standardized flat rack loading and lifting operations; loading strictly follows the center-of-gravity-centered and even-load-pressure-distribution specifications, using solid wooden sleepers to protect the container floor.
Throughout, we follow the shipping line’s required reinforcement standards, using steel wire ropes, heavy-duty ratchet straps, and steel wedges in multiple longitudinal, transverse, and diagonal rigid bindings; contact points are fitted with protective pads to prevent scratching, and water-sensitive equipment is fully covered with thickened rainproof tarpaulins for sealed waterproofing; the loading stage retains image records and lashing drawings on demand, and can assist with third-party reinforcement verification, maximizing protection of equipment throughout transport.
This is just one of the routine special cargo projects MYU Logistics runs locally in Europe.
