Land Shipping

The cost of land freight services is influenced by several key factors, including:

• Weight and dimensions of the cargo

• Distance between pickup and delivery points

• Type of service (e.g. FTL, LTL, cross-border, last-mile)

• Special requirements such as hazardous goods, temperature control, or oversized loads

• Additional services like customs clearance, packing, or unloading

At Weining International Logistics, we offer transparent and competitive pricing tailored to your shipment’s exact needs. Whether you’re moving a small pallet locally or transporting containers across borders, we ensure cost-effective solutions without compromising on service quality.

Land freight is highly versatile and can accommodate a wide range of cargo types, making it a preferred option for both local and cross-border deliveries. Common types of cargo transported via land freight include:

• 📦 General Goods
  Everyday consumer products, retail items, packaged goods, and non-perishable items.

• 🏗️ Industrial Equipment & Machinery
  Heavy-duty machines, construction tools, and manufacturing components that are bulky or oversized.

• 📂 Palletised & Crated Cargo
  Ideal for consolidated shipments, commercial supplies, and warehouse restocks.

• 🧊 Temperature-Sensitive Goods
  Chilled or frozen items transported in temperature-controlled trucks (e.g., food, pharmaceuticals).

• ⚠️ Hazardous Materials
  Regulated substances like chemicals, batteries, or flammable goods — transported under strict compliance.

• 🚧 Project Cargo
  Oversized or heavy items such as turbines, pipelines, or construction modules that require special trailers and route planning.

• 📦 E-commerce and Last-Mile Deliveries
  Parcels, small packages, and online orders delivered to customers’ doorsteps.

At Weining International Logistics, we have the expertise and equipment to handle everything from standard deliveries to specialised and high-value cargo.

The maximum weight and size limits for land freight shipments depend on local transportation regulations and the type of vehicle used. In Singapore and surrounding regions, typical limits are as follows:

🔹 Standard Limits:

• Weight Limit: Up to 30 tonnes (combined cargo and vehicle weight)

• Length: Up to 12 metres

• Width: Maximum of 2.6 metres

• Height: Up to 4.5 metres (depending on road clearance and trailer type)

🔸 For Oversized or Heavy Cargo:

Special permits and transport arrangements are required for:

• Overweight loads exceeding 30 tonnes

• Oversized cargo that surpasses width, height, or length limits

• Items like industrial machinery, project cargo, or construction modules

At Weining International Logistics, we offer specialised trailers such as low-bed and multi-axle transport to accommodate exceptional loads, along with full permit application and route planning services.

Yes — proper packaging is crucial for land freight to ensure your cargo remains safe, secure, and undamaged throughout road transportation. Unlike air or sea freight, land freight often involves multiple loading and unloading points, vibrations, and exposure to environmental elements.

✅ Key Packaging Requirements for Land Freight:

• Strong & Sturdy Materials
  Use durable boxes, crates, or pallets that can withstand handling and stacking.

• Secure Palletisation
  Items should be placed on pallets, wrapped with stretch film, and strapped down to prevent shifting during transit.

• Shock & Vibration Protection
  Add cushioning materials like foam, bubble wrap, or corrugated inserts to protect delicate or sensitive items.

• Weather-Resistant Wrapping
  For goods exposed to open transport (e.g., canvas trucks), use waterproof and UV-protected covers.

• Clear Labelling
  Include shipment details, delivery instructions, and handling labels such as “Fragile,” “This Side Up,” or “Hazardous.”

• Compliance with Cargo Type
  Certain goods like hazardous materials, temperature-sensitive items, or heavy machinery may require specialised packaging per regulatory standards.
