Al Sharqi Shipping recently facilitated the movement of commercial finished vehicle trucks, tackling challenges related to lashing, special crane lift, and transporting from ground to lowbed trailers. The project highlighted our ability to manage complex logistics with precision and efficiency, ensuring safe delivery despite difficult conditions. 

Customer Challenge

The customer faced significant logistical difficulties in handling oversized commercial trucks, which required specialized equipment and methods. 

  • Lashing: Securing heavy trucks on flat racks required customized lashing solutions to prevent shifting or damage during transport. 
  • Crane Lifting: The commercial finished vehicle trucks were too large and heavy for standard lifting equipment. The customer needed advanced crane lifting operations to safely lift and load the trucks onto flat racks. 
  • Transporting from Ground to Lowbed Trailers: Moving the flat rack trucks from ground to lowbed trailers was challenging due to poor ground conditions, requiring specialized equipment to prevent damage. 
  • Safety and Timeliness: The customer needed assurance that the shipment would be delivered without delays, especially given the sensitive nature of the cargo.  
  • Coordination Across Multiple Stages: The shipment required careful coordination between various teams, including crane operators, truck loaders, and logistics planners. 
  • Compliance with Regulations: The shipment had to comply with local and international transport regulations for oversized cargo, which added another layer of complexity to the project.
