What matters when arranging big bag shipping

Big bags have no fixed shape, and that is exactly what makes them demanding in groupage transport. A filled bag deforms under its own weight, tips under braking and cannot be stacked. Always set it on a pallet and secure it with strapping or film so that it forms a rigid loading unit.

Mind the loops: they are designed for vertical pull, not lateral load. Damaged or frayed loops mean the bag cannot be lifted during handling. For free-flowing goods, check the liner closure — escaping material contaminates the entire loading area and triggers cleaning charges.

For booking we need the fill weight, the outer dimensions when filled and the nature of the contents. Non-hazardous bulk goods run as a standard pallet consignment. As soon as the contents carry a UN number, ADR applies with its own declaration. Also confirm whether a forklift or crane is available at the recipient — a filled big bag cannot be set down safely by liftgate alone.

Frequently asked questions about big bag shipping

Which bulk goods can be shipped in big bags?
Sand, gravel, granulate, pellets, powder, chemicals and many other bulk goods. For hazardous substances and ADR-required goods please enquire in advance – we check transportability.
Does the big bag need to be on a pallet?
Recommended yes – big bags on pallets can be handled with a standard forklift. "Free" big bags without pallets are also possible provided forklift handling with an appropriate fork is organised.
What is the maximum weight per big bag?
Standard big bags hold up to 2,000 kg. For shipments over 2,000 kg we recommend multiple big bags or a heavy load pallet. Maximum individual shipment is 2,500 kg.
Can empty big bags also be sent back?
Yes, empty folded big bags can be sent as return shipments. Specify the weight and dimensions in folded condition – costs are significantly lower than for filled bags.
Are there special requirements for closing the big bag?
The big bag must be completely and securely closed – fill opening at the top and discharge valve at the bottom secured. Leaking or torn big bags cannot be transported for liability reasons.
