From rail ramp to warehouse to final-mile flatbed delivery, this project cargo showcases Globex Logistics Inc.’s seamless handling of time-critical oversized cargo

Globex Logistics Inc., Conqueror member in Halifax, Canada, recently demonstrated its specialized freight forwarding capabilities through the successful execution of a complex project cargo movement. The shipment, consisting of oversized skids for an exclusive exhibition event, required detailed coordination, specialized equipment, and a time-sensitive delivery schedule.

The cargo arrived in a 40-foot HC container at a rail ramp. After swift customs clearance, they moved the cargo to Globex’s cross-dock warehouse facility, where time efficiency and cargo safety were top priorities. “Our cross-docking system reduces dwell time and accelerates transitions without compromising the integrity of the freight,” added Mr. Dhawan.

Offloading and transfer to a flatbed Moffett truck was a critical step in the process. Additionally, the use of the Moffett—a truck-mounted forklift, enabled precise handling, especially important at the final delivery point, which lacked any unloading infrastructure. Moreover, following rigorous safety protocols, the operations team employed heavy-duty straps, edge protectors, and anti-slip mats to secure the load.

The last-mile delivery posed its challenges, particularly due to the size of the shipment and the tight delivery window. Nevertheless, supported by GPS tracking and real-time coordination, the driver team executed the final leg without a hitch.

“Last-mile is where the pressure peaks,” said Mr. Dhawan, President of Globex Logistics. “Our clients count on us to not only move freight but to keep them informed and reassured every step of the way.” Consequently, they delivered the cargo successfully and positioned it on-site, on time and in perfect condition, earning high praise from the client.

Congratulations to Globex Logistics and all the best for their upcoming projects!
