What is out of gauge cargo?

This type of cargo typically includes oversized, bulky, or irregularly shaped goods that cannot fit within the standard confines of a shipping container or vehicle.

Out of gauge cargo presents unique challenges in logistics and transportation due to its non-conformity to standard dimensions. Examples of out of gauge cargo may include large machinery, industrial equipment, oversized vehicles, or construction materials with irregular shapes.
