Refrigerated and climate-controlled options matched to the cargo requirements.
Fragile & unusual
Custom crating, limited handling, and careful loading for hard-to-move pieces.
Project freight
Coordinated multi-piece moves for installations, expansions, and site deliveries.
White-glove delivery
Appointments, inside placement, and specialized receiving support when available.

FAQ
Specialty freight questions.
Practical answers about equipment, quotes, permits, handling, and lead times.
What is specialty freight?
Specialty freight is cargo that needs a transport plan beyond a standard dry-van or LTL move. It may be oversized, unusually shaped, fragile, high-value, temperature-sensitive, time-critical, or dependent on special loading equipment, securement, or delivery coordination.
What types of specialty freight can UUCargo coordinate?
Common examples include industrial machinery, production equipment, trade-show assets, temperature-controlled cargo, crated high-value items, and project freight. Acceptance depends on the exact commodity, dimensions, weight, route, value, and handling requirements.
How do I get a specialty freight quote?
Provide origin and destination, ready and required-delivery dates, piece count, exact dimensions and weight, cargo description and value, plus photos or drawings. Include loading equipment, site restrictions, temperature needs, and any appointment or inside-delivery requirements.
Do you provide crating or white-glove handling?
Crating, protective packing, inside pickup or delivery, and other specialized handling can be coordinated in supported markets. The team will confirm facility access, equipment, labour, packaging standards, and service availability before booking.
How far in advance should I book?
Book as soon as the cargo details and dates are known. Specialized equipment, cranes, temperature control, and strict appointments may require additional lead time. Time-critical requests can still be reviewed based on equipment and route availability.
