Choosing the right equipment is critical for shipping oversized freight from Shenzhen to Uruguay. Goodhope Freight offers a diverse fleet of specialized containers tailored to your cargo dimensions and weight.
Ideal for over-height packages up to 2698MM and above. The removable tarpaulin roof allows top-loading by crane, making it perfect for tall machinery, steel coils, and timber. Standard payload ~26–28 tons, with internal height clearance up to 2.35m (with roof open).
Designed for heavy and wide cargo that cannot fit inside standard boxes. With collapsible end walls and heavy-duty floors, FR containers accommodate items up to 6m long and 2.4m wide, with payloads reaching 30+ tons. Ideal for generators, transformers, and large valves.
Beyond standard OT and FR, we deploy OOG configurations that combine platform-based flats with custom lashing arrangements. Our OOG fleet includes 40' Flat Racks, 40' Open Tops with reinforced floors, and specialized collapsible flat racks for breakbulk consolidation.

All equipment meets international shipping standards and is inspected before loading at Shenzhen terminals.
Goodhope Freight has extensive experience moving a wide spectrum of oversized commodities from Chinese manufacturing hubs to Uruguayan project sites. Our expertise covers:
Each shipment is individually assessed to ensure proper lashing, securing, and stowage for the voyage to Montevideo.
Our streamlined process eliminates guesswork and keeps your over-height cargo moving efficiently from factory floor to Uruguayan job site.
Step 1 – Cargo Assessment & Planning: Our team reviews your cargo dimensions, weight, and handling requirements. We recommend the optimal container type (OT or FR) and develop a stowage plan that maximizes safety and space utilization.
Step 2 – Equipment Sourcing & Booking: We secure dedicated OT or FR containers from our carrier partners (Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, COSCO) with confirmed space on vessels sailing to Montevideo. We handle all booking documentation and terminal coordination at Shenzhen ports.
Step 3 – Pickup & Packing: Our logistics team arranges trucking from your supplier's facility to the container yard. For top-loading OT containers, we coordinate crane services to safely lower cargo through the open roof. All lashing and securing follow maritime safety standards.
Step 4 – Customs Clearance (Export): We prepare and lodge all required export declarations with Chinese customs, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Our in-house brokerage team verifies documentation to avoid delays.
Step 5 – Ocean Transit: Your container is loaded aboard the vessel and transits via major shipping lanes to Montevideo. We provide weekly status updates and tracking information throughout the journey.
Step 6 – Import Clearance at Montevideo: Upon arrival at Montevideo Port, our local agent manages customs clearance, including inspection coordination, duty calculation, and release of the cargo. We handle all Uruguayan import documentation, including the required Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin.
Step 7 – Inland Delivery: After clearance, we arrange trucking or rail transport to your final destination across Uruguay. Our network covers all major industrial zones and construction sites.
Every step is monitored by your dedicated account manager, ensuring complete visibility and proactive problem-solving.
