Assess heavy machinery and oversized cargo using technical drawings, dimensions, route information, specialist handling and project delivery milestones.
Plan complex movements around physical constraints.
Project cargo enquiries are assessed individually. Oversized or heavy equipment may need specialist vehicles, lifting plans, route surveys and permissions. Confirm technical drawings and handling points before selecting a route or requesting specialist quotations.

Build the delivery plan from the largest pieces
Oversized machinery and project equipment need a piece-by-piece assessment before a freight or haulage proposal is reliable. Sheffield reviews dimensions, gross weights, lifting points and the project receiving sequence. Identify any item that cannot travel in standard equipment.
A site delivery needs an agreed unloading plan and clear boundaries between transport, crane work and final positioning. Confirm the available access and receiver responsibilities before dispatch; the commercial proposal must identify each specialist task.
How the process works
- Review technical cargo data
- Assess handling and route
- Obtain specialist proposals
- Confirm approvals and execution plan
- Coordinate project delivery
Questions about this service
Can Sheffield quote unloading alone?
Unloading-only or specialist positioning requests are assessed separately. The team confirms whether the requested scope is available before offering it; transport capability does not imply acceptance of every lifting task.
What should Sheffield receive before preparing this shipment?
Send piece-by-piece packing list and dimensions, gross weights and lifting drawings and the receiving contact. Include the origin, destination and cargo-ready date so the team can connect this cargo profile to a feasible freight and Kenya clearance plan.
