When Urgency Meets Oversized Cargo: A Sandvik TH540 Shipment Story

<p><strong>When Newlane Logistics was assigned to move two dump truck back panels for a Sandvik TH540 underground mining truck, the shipment required immediate action.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>The cargo was urgently required in Malaysia, leaving very little time for planning and execution.</p><p><br></p><p>The cargo was moving from <strong>Nhava Sheva, India to Port Klang, Malaysia</strong> and consisted of two oversized structural components weighing over 12 tons. Their <strong>irregular dimensions and center of gravity</strong> meant the cargo could not be handled with standard securing methods.</p><p><br></p><p>Loaded on a 40 ft flat rack container, the panels exceeded standard dimensions by 30 cm on both sides and 18 cm in height, making it a classic Out of Gauge OOG shipment.</p><p><br></p><p>After conducting a pre loading survey, our team determined that conventional lashing would not be sufficient. While most OOG cargo uses 10 to 12 lashing points, these mining components required a reinforced securing plan.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>To ensure safe transport across the Arabian Sea during the monsoon season, the cargo was secured using:</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>14 heavy duty nylon belts</strong></li><li><strong>20 ratchets</strong></li><li><strong>28 lashing points</strong></li><li><strong>Wooden chocks for additional stability</strong></li></ul><p><br></p><p>This arrangement prevented <strong>forward movement, side rolling, and vibration during turbulent sea conditions.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>The cargo received <strong>OOFG approval, was cleared, secured, and loaded in record time</strong> treating it as a time critical cargo, ensuring the urgent shipment moved without delay.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>This project once again highlights the expertise of Newlane Logistics in handling complex and time critical OOG cargo shipments.</strong></p><p><img src="https://assets.jctrans.com/ERA_COOPERATION_CASE_CONTENT_PICTURE/fee68584-7038-4ddb-864a-3596af90fd33.png"><img src="https://assets.jctrans.com/ERA_COOPERATION_CASE_CONTENT_PICTURE/21444b17-5973-42ad-9c37-0eb832abbbb3.png"><img src="https://assets.jctrans.com/ERA_COOPERATION_CASE_CONTENT_PICTURE/20fb7c21-d187-49df-9a50-fba34eb4a38a.png"></p>
