Machinery, vehicles, steel structures and large moulds often need a flat rack container, an open top container or a breakbulk ship. This guide explains the options for shipping oversized cargo from China, their typical dimensions, how costs are calculated and how to prepare your shipment.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Key points<\/strong><br \/>\u2022 Oversized or out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo is too long, wide, tall or heavy for a standard container.<br \/>\u2022 <strong>Flat rack containers<\/strong> have no roof or side walls, for cargo that is too wide or too tall. <strong>Open top containers<\/strong> have a removable roof, for tall cargo loaded by crane.<br \/>\u2022 Very large or heavy pieces may go as <strong>breakbulk<\/strong>, loaded directly onto the ship.<br \/>\u2022 OOG freight costs more because over-width or over-height cargo blocks space next to it. Exact dimensions and weights are needed for every quote.<br \/>\u2022 Space for flat racks and open tops is limited, so book early.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>What Is Oversized (OOG) Cargo?<\/h2>\n<p>Cargo is &#8220;out of gauge&#8221; when it exceeds the inside dimensions or the weight limit of a standard 20ft or 40ft container. Typical examples from China include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Machinery and equipment:<\/strong> CNC machines, presses, generators, production lines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vehicles:<\/strong> trucks, buses, construction machinery, boats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steel structures:<\/strong> beams, frames, tanks, prefabricated buildings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other large items:<\/strong> moulds, transformers, large crates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A standard 40ft container is about 2.35 m wide and 2.39 m high inside, with a door about 2.28 m high. See <a href=\"\/de\/shipping-container-dimensions\/\">shipping container dimensions<\/a> for the full specs.<\/p>\n<h2>Flat Rack, Open Top or Breakbulk?<\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>Flat rack container<\/th>\n<th>Open top container<\/th>\n<th>Breakbulk<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>What it is<\/td>\n<td>A floor with end walls, no roof or side walls<\/td>\n<td>A container with a removable tarpaulin roof<\/td>\n<td>Cargo loaded piece by piece into the ship&#8217;s hold or on deck<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Best for<\/td>\n<td>Over-width and over-height cargo, heavy machinery, vehicles<\/td>\n<td>Tall cargo that fits the width, loaded from above by crane<\/td>\n<td>Very large or very heavy pieces, project cargo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Loading<\/td>\n<td>From the sides or above, by crane or forklift<\/td>\n<td>From above by crane, or through the doors<\/td>\n<td>By ship or port crane<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Protection<\/td>\n<td>Exposed to weather; needs wrapping and lashing<\/td>\n<td>Covered by a tarpaulin<\/td>\n<td>Depends on stowage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sizes<\/td>\n<td>20ft and 40ft, often collapsible<\/td>\n<td>20ft and 40ft<\/td>\n<td>No size limit within the ship&#8217;s capacity<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Flat Rack Container Dimensions<\/h2>\n<p>Flat racks are often collapsible: the end walls fold down so empty units can be stacked. Typical figures from a major carrier:<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>20ft flat rack<\/th>\n<th>40ft flat rack<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Length between end posts<\/td>\n<td>about 5.6 m<\/td>\n<td>about 11.6 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Width between posts<\/td>\n<td>about 2.2 m<\/td>\n<td>about 2.2 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tare weight<\/td>\n<td>about 2.7 t<\/td>\n<td>about 6 t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maximum payload<\/td>\n<td>about 31\u201342 t<\/td>\n<td>about 44\u201354 t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Because a flat rack has no side walls, the cargo can be wider than the rack, and taller than a container stack. That over-width and over-height is exactly what makes flat racks useful, and what drives the price.<\/p>\n<h2>Open Top Container Dimensions<\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>20ft open top<\/th>\n<th>40ft open top<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Inside length<\/td>\n<td>about 5.9 m<\/td>\n<td>about 12.0 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Inside width<\/td>\n<td>about 2.35 m<\/td>\n<td>about 2.35 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Inside height<\/td>\n<td>about 2.35 m<\/td>\n<td>about 2.35 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maximum payload<\/td>\n<td>about 30 t<\/td>\n<td>about 26\u201328 t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cargo can stick out above the top of an open top container, with the tarpaulin fitted over it, but this counts as over-height and is priced like a flat rack.<\/p>\n<p>Container specifications vary by carrier and manufacturer.

The main cost factors are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Over-width and over-height:<\/strong> cargo that sticks out over the sides or top blocks the slots next to or above it on the ship, so the carrier charges for that lost space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight:<\/strong> heavy pieces may need special cranes, extra lashing or a heavier-rated container.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lashing and securing:<\/strong> chains, straps, timber blocking and a lashing survey where required.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crating and protection:<\/strong> export crates, rust protection and waterproof wrapping, especially on open flat racks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inland transport:<\/strong> oversized trucking in China may need special trailers, route checks and permits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Port handling:<\/strong> terminals charge extra to handle OOG units.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For an accurate quote, send the length, width, height and weight of each piece, the lifting points, and a drawing or photos.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Ship Oversized Cargo from China<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Send the cargo details:<\/strong> dimensions, weight, drawings or photos, and where the cargo is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose the equipment:<\/strong> flat rack, open top or breakbulk, and the best route and port.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book early:<\/strong> flat racks and open tops are limited, and carriers need to approve the stowage plan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the cargo:<\/strong> crating, rust protection and wrapping, and draining fluids from vehicles and machinery where required.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Load and secure:<\/strong> at the factory or at a port facility, with proper lashing and photos for your records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inland transport and export clearance:<\/strong> oversized trucking to the port and customs declaration in China.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Destination:<\/strong> import clearance, unloading and delivery. Plan the unloading equipment at your site in advance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Risks and How to Avoid Them<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wrong dimensions:<\/strong> even a few centimetres can change the equipment or the price. Measure the packed cargo, not just the machine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poor lashing:<\/strong> carriers can refuse badly secured cargo at the terminal, causing delays and extra costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weather damage:<\/strong> cargo on a flat rack is exposed for weeks at sea. Use good wrapping and rust protection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limited space:<\/strong> OOG cargo can be rolled to a later ship if space is tight. Book early and keep in close contact with your forwarder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insurance:<\/strong> heavy and oversized cargo carries more risk in handling. See <a href=\"\/de\/cargo-insurance\/\">cargo insurance<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Example: Shipping a CNC Machine from Guangdong<\/h2>\n<p>A machine packed on a steel skid measures 6.8 m long, 2.6 m wide and 2.5 m high and weighs 9.5 t.<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Check<\/th>\n<th>Result<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Fits a 40ft standard or high cube container?<\/td>\n<td>No: 2.6 m is wider than the inside width of about 2.35 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fits a 40ft open top?<\/td>\n<td>No: too wide for the side walls<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fits a 40ft flat rack?<\/td>\n<td>Yes: 6.8 m fits the length; it is over-width by about 0.4 m in total<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weight<\/td>\n<td>9.5 t is well within the flat rack payload<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Price drivers<\/td>\n<td>Over-width charge, lashing and a lashing survey, crane loading at the factory, oversized trucking to the port<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Timeline<\/td>\n<td>Carrier approval of the stowage plan before booking is confirmed; allow extra days compared with a normal container<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>The same machine at 2.3 m wide would fit a 40ft open top or even a standard high cube with the right loading equipment, at a much lower cost.

The international reference is the IMO\/ILO\/UNECE Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units, known as the CTU Code. In practice, this means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Steel skids or heavy timber bases, with timber that meets ISPM 15 rules.<\/li>\n<li>Lashing with chains or rated straps to the container&#8217;s lashing points, with enough lashings for the weight.<\/li>\n<li>Timber blocking and bracing to stop sliding and tipping.<\/li>\n<li>Waterproof wrapping and rust protection for cargo on open flat racks.<\/li>\n<li>Photos and, for valuable cargo, a lashing survey before the container leaves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Oversized Cargo Shipping with JIEYI<\/h2>\n<p>We ship machinery, vehicles, steel structures and other oversized cargo from China by flat rack, open top and breakbulk.

For standard cargo, see <a href=\"\/de\/sea-freight\/\">sea freight<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>What is a flat rack container used for?<\/h3>\n<p>For cargo that is too wide, too tall or too heavy for a standard container, such as machinery, vehicles, steel structures and large crates. It has a strong floor and end walls, but no roof or side walls.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between a flat rack and an open top container?<\/h3>\n<p>An open top has full side walls and a removable roof, so it suits tall cargo that fits the container&#8217;s width. A flat rack has no side walls, so it can carry cargo wider than a container.<\/p>\n<h3>How much does it cost to ship oversized cargo from China?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the dimensions, weight, route and handling needed. Over-width and over-height cargo is charged for the space it blocks, so every shipment is quoted individually.<\/p>\n<h3>Can a flat rack carry cargo wider than the container?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. That is the main reason to use one. The extra width is charged as over-width, and the cargo must be properly secured.<\/p>\n<h3>When should I use breakbulk instead of a flat rack?<\/h3>\n<p>When a single piece is too large or too heavy even for a flat rack, or when several flat racks together would cost more than shipping the cargo loose in the hold.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Checked on 2 November 2026.
