DHL Express delivers heavy items in just 1-3 days. Our worldwide network and fleet of planes allow us to manage bulky shipments efficiently for you.
Our service covers packing, crating, and transportation. With years of experience supporting industries like machinery, medical devices, and furniture, our team is proficient in recommending the best way to ship your large and heavy items.
A heavy shipment is any package that weighs from 70 kg (154 lbs) up to 3,000 kg (6,613 lbs).
These shipments often include large items such as furniture, appliances, or industrial equipment that require specialized haandling and transportation services.
When shipping large packages, measure the dimensions and weight accurately before booking.
Make sure they meet the logistics provider's limits.
For example, DHL Express accepts packages up to 300cm in length, 200cm in width, and 160cm in height, with a maximum weight of 70kg per item.
Anything heavier must be palletized.
When preparing large and heavy items for air freight, ensure they can be stacked, moved by forklift, and withstand tilting and vibration during transport.
Packing Goods
Use durable cardboard boxes, crate boxes, or palletize bulky shipments accordingly.
Securing Goods
Secure palletized items with shrink-wrap or straps to prevent movement during transit.
For items that can't be packed in a box, they must be crated or shrink-wrapped and securely brace to a pallet.
Large items cannot be shipped without proper packing.
The most cost effective way to ship heavy items is through air freight like DHL Express for 3 key reasons:
1. Stable pricing
A transparent all-inclusive pricing will be provided before shipping.
2. Fast transit
Delivery takes 1-3 days only.
3. Door-to-door service
Direct sender-to-receiver shipping reduces shipping complications
