Road Limits for USA & Canada
PLEASE NOTE:
There are no exceptions to the following Weight Limits!
If containers are received weighing in excess of the limits described below, one of the following will be required at the expense of the customer’s account:
- Stripping/Re-stuffing: Cargo will need to be stripped and re-stuffed into two containers. The additional costs incurred will include not only the stripping/re-stuffing costs, but the additional inland costs required to deliver the second container to the door.
- Container will be terminated at the port.
- Container will be terminated at the rail yard.
- Overweight 20 foot containers destined to the Container Yard (CY) will be terminated due to limited quantities of Tri-Axles. Tri-Axles are to be used for door moves only where weight limits do not exceed the guidelines provided.
Note: There are additional charges for tri-axles, permits, and all other specialized equipment required to move overweight containers.
