— A Case Study in Specialized Freight Forwarding by Globex Logistics Inc.
In the freight forwarding industry, the true measure of expertise is not just in moving cargo from one location to another—it's in how seamlessly one can handle the unusual, the oversized, and the time-sensitive. At Globex Logistics Inc., we specialize in delivering precisely this kind of operational excellence.
Recently, we undertook a special project cargo assignment that required end-to-end logistical coordination, specialized equipment, and strategic execution. The cargo was imported for an exclusive exhibition event which didn’t have a dock and had to be delivered within a very tight timeline. It was a classic case of movement of Oversized skids—challenging in dimension, sensitive in purpose, and unforgiving in delivery deadlines.
Cargo Receipt: From Rail Ramp to Warehouse
The shipment arrived in a 40-foot High Cube container at a rail ramp. Our first step was to secure prompt clearance and coordinate the pickup with our internal fleet team. High Cube containers, given their increased internal height, are ideal for project cargo—but they still demand cautious handling, especially when the contents extend beyond standard width or height.
The container was then transported to our warehousing and cross-dock facility. This transition point is crucial in time-bound projects. Our warehouse is designed to support rapid turnaround through cross-docking, minimizing dwell time while ensuring cargo integrity is maintained.
Cross-Docking & Flatbed Moffett Integration
Utilizing cross-docking operations, our trained personnel carefully offloaded the shipment without causing any damages to the cargo. Once offloaded it was transferred onto a flatbed Moffett truck. The Moffett—a truck-mounted forklift—was essential for managing this oversized cargo, allowing precise lifting and placement at delivery as there was no equipment available for unloading at the destination.
Our operations team conducted load securing using heavy-duty straps, edge protectors, and anti-slip mats. Every detail, from the weight distribution to the tie-down points, was checked and verified against safety protocols.
The Critical Link: Last-Mile Delivery
With the cargo secured and ready, the journey to the final destination began. In the logistics chain, last-mile delivery is often the most intricate, especially when dealing with oversize cargo that may require special handling zones, traffic escorts, or regulated delivery timings.
Despite the challenges, our drivers, equipped with real-time GPS tracking and supported by our operations control centre, navigated the planned route with precision. Every point of the delivery—from departure to check-ins to offloading—was managed in real time, ensuring client visibility and project transparency throughout.
Upon arrival, the cargo was successfully delivered and positioned at the exhibition outlet—right on schedule and in pristine condition. The client’s satisfaction and successful event launch reaffirmed our commitment to operational excellence in complex freight solutions.
