Out-of-Gauge Cargo

Cargo that will not sit inside a standard container — handled from transportation through to release.
Out-of-Gauge Cargo

What we handle

Out-of-gauge cargo exceeds the dimensions of a standard container and cannot be handled by standard means. Focus CFS handles OOG consignments from transportation through to cargo handling in the yard, applying the same planning discipline used for project cargo.

OOG and project work share equipment, yard space and planning, which is why they are run together. The practical difference is that OOG describes the shape of the problem — a load that overhangs, overheights or overwidths — while project cargo describes its scale and the multi-leg movement around it.
