Trans Global (S) Pte Ltd was established in early 2003 by a group of experienced industry leaders with over 25 years of expertise in logistics, international freight forwarding, total logistics solutions, and project cargo handling. Over the decades, we have built a strong reputation for precision, reliability, and innovation in moving cargo of all sizes, weights, and complexities.
Among our specialized services, heavy lift equipment handling stands out as a core strength. Moving large, oversized, or unusually heavy cargo requires not just the right machinery but also extensive planning, technical expertise, and global coordination. At Trans Global, we combine state-of-the-art lifting equipment, skilled operators, and meticulous project management to ensure your heavy lift cargo reaches its destination safely and on schedule.
What is Heavy Lift Equipment?
Heavy lift equipment refers to specialized machinery used to move cargo that exceeds standard weight or size limitations. This can include industrial machinery, power generation units, offshore oil and gas equipment, wind turbine components, large construction structures, and more.
In shipping and logistics, “heavy lift” is not just about the equipment – it’s about expert handling, engineering knowledge, and strategic coordination to ensure smooth, damage-free delivery.
Why Heavy Lift Cargo Needs Specialized Handling
Unlike standard freight, heavy lift cargo comes with unique challenges:
- Weight Constraints – Exceeding standard handling capacities of ports and warehouses.
- Dimensional Challenges – Cargo that is too large for standard containers or vessel holds.
- Route Planning – Need for specialized permits, escorts, and infrastructure checks.
- Safety Risks – High risk of damage or injury without proper handling and safety measures.
At Trans Global, we understand these challenges and have developed a comprehensive heavy lift logistics process that prioritizes safety, compliance, and efficiency.
Our Heavy Lift Equipment & Capabilities
We invest in advanced heavy lifting machinery to cater to a wide variety of project needs. Our capabilities include:
1. Mobile Cranes
Flexible and efficient for both on-site and port operations, mobile cranes can be quickly deployed to lift heavy cargo in various environments.
2. Crawler Cranes
Ideal for large-scale construction and industrial projects, crawler cranes offer exceptional stability and lifting capacity for heavy, oversized loads.
3. Hydraulic Gantry Systems
Perfect for lifting and positioning extremely heavy cargo in confined spaces, these systems provide a controlled and precise lifting solution.
4. Forklifts & Reach Stackers
For containerized and smaller heavy cargo, forklifts and reach stackers allow efficient movement within terminals, warehouses, and staging areas.
5. Specialized Flatbed Trailers
Our trailers are designed to transport oversized cargo securely, with configurations that adapt to various load dimensions and weights.
Our Heavy Lift Cargo Handling Process
Heavy lift cargo moves through a specialized logistics process that ensures safety and efficiency:
- Assessment & Planning – We evaluate the cargo specifications, weight, and dimensions, then create a detailed lifting and transport plan.
- Route Survey & Feasibility Study – We check infrastructure limitations, clearances, and obtain the necessary permits.
- Equipment Mobilization – The right heavy lifting machinery is deployed based on project needs.
- Safe Loading & Securing – Using industry-approved rigging and securing methods to prevent movement during transit.
- Transportation & Coordination – Coordination with shipping lines, port authorities, and inland carriers for smooth delivery.
- Final Delivery & Unloading – Cargo is safely delivered and positioned at its destination.
Heavy Lift Equipment in Project Cargo Handling
Heavy lift equipment is a critical part of project cargo logistics, which often involves transporting components for large-scale industrial or infrastructure projects. Examples include:
- Oil & Gas Platforms – Moving drilling rigs, subsea equipment, and pipelines.
- Renewable Energy Projects – Transporting wind turbine blades, nacelles, and towers.
- Industrial Manufacturing – Relocating heavy machinery and production lines.
- Construction Projects – Delivering prefabricated steel structures and bridge segments.
Our project cargo division works closely with engineering teams, contractors, and suppliers to ensure each move is executed without delays or damage.
Safety & Compliance – Our Top Priority
When handling heavy lift cargo, safety is non-negotiable. We follow strict international safety standards, including:
- Rigorous Equipment Inspections – Ensuring all heavy lift machinery is in peak operating condition.
- Certified Operators & Riggers – Highly trained personnel to operate equipment and handle rigging.
- Risk Assessments – Identifying and mitigating potential hazards at every stage.
- Compliance with Regulations – Adhering to global, regional, and local laws for heavy cargo transport.
By combining expert manpower with cutting-edge technology, we minimize risks and guarantee reliable execution.
