Before you book

Plan around your cargo.

The additional internal height can help with taller or more voluminous cargo. Check door height separately: the door opening is lower than the internal ceiling in this fleet example.

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.
