Oversized & Overweight Cargo Shipping to Singapore

When Is Cargo Considered Oversized or Overweight?

For Singapore shipping, cargo may be considered oversized or overweight when a single piece is heavier than normal manual handling standards or the package size is too large for regular loading, sorting, and delivery.

Actually, many customers only look at the total weight. But in real logistics operation, single-piece weight is very important. A shipment of 300KG packed into 10 small cartons is very different from one single crate weighing 300KG.

如果一件货太重，仓库装卸、航司操作、目的港派送都会变复杂。所以超重货不是简单按总公斤数看，而是要看“单件重量”和“单件尺寸”。

Extra Charge for Heavy or Large Single Package

For Singapore shipments, if one single package exceeds the following standard, an additional handling charge will apply:

中文说明：单件重量超过 68KG，或者尺寸超过 150×80×80CM，需要加收 RMB 200 / 票。

This charge is not a random fee. It is related to actual cargo handling. Heavy or oversized cargo may need more workers, special loading position, additional checking, or different loading arrangements.

Pallet Foot Requirement: 9CM Height

For oversized or overweight cargo, the package may need pallet feet with enough height for forklift operation. The required pallet foot height is:

9CM high pallet feet

中文说明：需要打卡脚，卡脚高度 9CM。

Why does this matter? Because forklifts need enough space to enter under the package. If the pallet feet are too low, the forklift may not be able to lift the cargo safely.

Actually, this small packing detail can make a big difference. If the cargo cannot be lifted properly, loading and unloading may become difficult, risky, or more expensive.

Wooden Crate and Wooden Frame Requirements

For general cargo packed in wooden crates or wooden frames, airline handling requirements must be followed. The wooden packing should not be raw wood packaging.

For better operation, the wooden frame should be strong, clean, stable, and suitable for forklift handling. Loose wooden packing, weak frames, or unstable packaging may create extra risk.

Battery and Sensitive Cargo Are Not Restricted

For this Singapore oversized and overweight cargo channel, battery cargo and sensitive cargo are not restricted.

This is useful for customers shipping products such as electronic goods, equipment with batteries, household appliances, smart devices, tools, and other sensitive-category cargo. But product details still need to be provided clearly before shipping.

Actually, “not restricted” does not mean cargo information is not needed. The logistics team still needs to know what the product is, whether it has battery, how it is packed, and whether there are any special handling requirements.

Extra Confirmation for Very Large or Very Heavy Cargo

If the cargo is beyond normal oversized standards, destination delivery fees need to be confirmed separately.

中文说明：长、宽、高单边超过 2米，或者单件超过 1.5吨，目的港派送费需要另外确认。

This is because very large cargo may not fit normal delivery vehicles. Very heavy cargo may require forklift unloading, special delivery appointment, or additional manpower.

Forklift Loading and Unloading Cost

For extra-large and overweight cargo, forklift loading or unloading may be required. If forklift service needs to be arranged separately, the actual cost will be charged based on real expenses.

中文说明：超大超重货物，若需请叉车上货或卸货，具体费用实报实销。

This situation usually happens when the sender or receiver does not have unloading equipment, or when the cargo is too heavy for manual handling.

To avoid unexpected cost, customers should confirm these points before shipping:

• Can the supplier load the cargo safely?
• Does the receiver have forklift?
• Is the delivery address suitable for large truck access?
• Is there enough space for unloading?
• Is delivery appointment needed?
• Is the cargo packed with forklift feet?

How to Prepare Oversized Cargo Before Shipping to Singapore

Good preparation can reduce delay, damage risk, and extra cost. Before arranging shipment, please prepare complete cargo information.

Common Cargo Types

This service can be suitable for many large or heavy cargo types, including:

• Machinery equipment
• Fitness equipment
• Large electronic equipment
• Furniture parts
• Wooden crate cargo
• Metal products
• Industrial parts
• Display shelves

If the cargo is fragile, high-value, irregular shape, or very heavy, stronger packing is recommended. Sometimes the cost of better packing is much lower than the cost of damage.
