Oversized Cargo (Out-of-Gauge)
Freight exceeding standard vehicle dimensional clearances or single-piece weight limits.
Term Definition
Out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo encompasses long structural beams, industrial machinery, manufacturing molds, and monolithic frames. Moving these shipments requires dedicated floor layout planning, specific tie-down points, and heavy ratchet strapping. Freight calculations for oversized cargo are structured individually according to required cubic floor footprints.
Usage Example
«A 3.2-meter manufacturing machine was staged on a heavy skid as an out-of-gauge cargo unit.»
