FAQ'S What if I want to freight something that won’t fit into a standard shipping container? This is commonly referred to as “over-dimensional freight” and is a particular specialty of Redfort’s.
Firstly, refer to the “container dimensions” below, to verify whether your freight is actually over-dimensional. Allow for packaging of your cargo. Secondly you need to contact Redfort and we will prepare a written costing for you and explain how the freight rates and other associated costs of your over-dimensional goods are derived. Redfort will help you find the most practical service destinations and will talk you through the whole process. You can relax in the knowledge that your over-dimensional freight will be shipped in the timeliest, most cost effective and efficient way possible.
