From single oversized pieces to consolidated shipments, DHL Express offers a flexible solution designed to handle high-weight consignments efficiently.
With a DHL Business Account, you can access preferential rates while simplifying how you manage larger shipments.
Our clearly defined weight and size limits make it easier to plan your shipments with confidence. Whether you are sending one large item or multiple pieces, you can rely on consistent handling and predictable capacity.
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
