OOG FLAT RACK Lashing ✓

Machinery and project cargo is among the most planning-intensive areas of logistics. Relocating a production line to another country, shipping equipment for a plant installation or exporting a single heavy machine all require accurate analysis of dimensions, weight, centre of gravity and lifting points.

Wislog Lojistik selects the most suitable equipment based on the cargo’s technical data: flatbed, low-bed and extendable trailers by road; flat rack, open top containers, Ro-Ro or conventional (break bulk) options by sea. For out-of-gauge cargo, bridge, tunnel and road restrictions along the route are examined, and the necessary permits and escort arrangements are planned.

Crane and forklift coordination during loading and discharge, lashing and securing plans, and packaging that protects against moisture and impact are integral parts of the operation. On multi-piece project shipments, we track every item against the packing list to ensure complete delivery to site.

Frequently asked questions

What is out-of-gauge cargo?

Out-of-gauge cargo is cargo that exceeds standard vehicle or container dimensions (length, width, height) or legal weight limits. It requires special equipment, route permits and often an escort.

Flat rack or open top: which should be used for machinery transport?

If the cargo exceeds the container’s width or height, or needs to be loaded from the side, a flat rack is preferred; if its dimensions fit within the container width but it needs to be crane-loaded from above, an open top container is the right choice.

How far in advance should project cargo be planned?

For out-of-gauge and multi-piece project cargo, planning should start as early as possible — ideally several weeks in advance — to secure equipment, permits and vessel space.

End-to-End Process

One-stop management from origin to delivery address

For every transport mode and cargo type, we have summarised our processes, the benefits and the key points to consider.

Transport Modes

International Sea Freight

Sea freight is the most economical option for high-volume, long-distance cargo. We manage the entire process — from freight booking and port operations to container tracking and delivery at the port of destination. Our strong line connections support Far East imports and Mediterranean–Gulf exports.

FCL and LCL Container Shipping

If your cargo fills a container, FCL gives you a container dedicated solely to your shipment; for smaller volumes, LCL means you pay only for the space you use. We move your full and part container loads from Far East ports and Europe on regular sailings.

International Road Freight

Road freight is the most flexible way to deliver door to door. We run regular shipments to Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania and the Baltic states, carrying your cargo safely with curtainsider, mega trailer and ADR-equipped vehicle options.

Full Truckload and Groupage Trucking

If your cargo fills a truck, we offer fast, direct full truckload transport with no transhipment; for loads of just a few pallets, we provide a cost-effective part load solution. We run regular shipments on routes to Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, France and Albania.

International Air Freight

For urgent production parts and high-value goods, air freight turns time into an advantage. We organise your exports departing from Istanbul and Sabiha Gökçen airports, as well as your imports from around the world, in line with IATA rules.

Domestic Road Transport in Türkiye

We provide full truckload and part load road transport across Türkiye, connecting factories, warehouses, ports and bonded warehouses. We manage the movement of your export cargo to the port and your import cargo from the port to your warehouse, fully integrated with your international operations.

Cross-Trade (Third-Country) Shipping

Goods you buy in the Far East, Europe or the Americas can be shipped straight to Libya, Lebanon, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Italy or France without a detour through Türkiye. We manage freight, documentation and customs coordination from a single desk and protect commercial confidentiality between your supplier and your buyer.

Specialist Cargo

Chemical and Dangerous Goods Transport

We specialise in hazardous cargo such as chemical raw materials, aerosols, flammable liquids and corrosive products. With correct classification, packaging, labelling, documentation and equipment, we deliver fully compliant transport by road, sea and air.

Cosmetics, Deodorant and Detergent Transport

Aerosol products such as deodorants and perfumes, cosmetics and personal care products, and liquid and powder detergents all need specific planning — both because of dangerous goods rules and because they are easily damaged. We bring experience of regular shipments in these product groups to European, Middle Eastern and African markets.

Raw Material Transport

Keeping your production line running depends on raw materials reaching your factory at the right time. From plastic granules to chemical raw materials, and from minerals and fillers to packaging materials, we manage your raw material imports and exports by sea and road in a planned way.

Furniture Transport

We carry Türkiye’s strong furniture exports to European, Middle Eastern and African markets. For bulky, fragile furniture with delicate surfaces, we aim for damage-free delivery through the right vehicle, careful stowage and protective packaging.

Open Top and Flat Rack Container Shipping

We use open top containers for cargo that does not fit a standard container or needs top loading, and flat rack containers for cargo requiring side loading or exceeding standard dimensions. For tarpaulin-covered open container loads, we manage securing and protection planning end to end.

Warehousing & Bonded Storage

Warehousing Services

By combining transport with warehousing, we make your supply chain more flexible. In warehouses in Türkiye and, through our partners, around the world, we provide short- and long-term storage, handling, palletising, labelling and shipment preparation services.

Bonded Warehouse and Customs Storage Services

You can hold imported goods in a bonded warehouse without paying customs duties and fees, release them for free circulation in partial quantities as needed, or re-export them. We manage your bonded warehouse processes together with transport and customs coordination.

Cargo Collection and Consolidation Services

We bring together the products you buy from multiple suppliers — in different countries or within the same country — at collection warehouses, inspect them and combine them into a single container or truck shipment. This lowers your freight costs and reduces your documentation and tracking workload.
