Before you book

Plan around your cargo.

Start with the packed dimensions and total weight. A volume estimate alone does not establish whether every package can pass through the doors or be secured inside.

Measure the packed cargo

Include pallets, packaging and projections.

Check loading access

Allow for the opening, handling and securing method.

Confirm the total weight

Include packaging and the cargo-securing materials.
