What matters when arranging long goods shipping

Long goods are not priced by weight but by the loading area they claim. A 6-metre bundle of pipes blocks half a trailer even at only 60 kg. A consignment counts as long goods from 250 cm, and from around 6 metres a vehicle with a continuous loading floor becomes necessary — which limits the available runs and should be booked early.

The most common cause of damage is sagging. Long profiles, pipes and strips must rest on at least three support points across their full length, ideally on a continuous wooden base. Props at the ends alone leave the material permanently deformed in the middle. Bundle several pieces into one unit — loose individual items get lost during handling.

Give the exact overall length at booking, not a rounded figure. It determines the vehicle type: up to 250 cm a standard vehicle suffices, up to 6 metres a trailer with a continuous loading floor, and beyond that it becomes a special case with limited runs. Bundle several profiles into one unit and state the bundle weight — individual pieces are each charged separately in groupage.

Frequently asked questions about long goods shipping

Up to what length can long goods be shipped?
Standard long goods up to 610 cm can be transported with normal freight forwarding. For shipments up to 7 metres we use special long goods pallets (240 × 80 cm). Over 7 metres only with prior notification.
Are pipes and steel profiles bundled or transported individually?
Long goods such as pipes are bundled together and fixed on long goods pallets. Cross-section and length determine the bundle dimensions. Ends are secured with protective caps.
What happens with shipments over 601 cm in length?
Shipments over 601 cm are classified as oversize and must be pre-notified one day before pickup. XXL surcharges apply. From 401 cm length, mixed loading with other shipments is not possible.
Can glass profiles and sensitive plastic profiles also be shipped?
Yes, with appropriate protective packaging. Glass profiles are transported standing on A-frames, plastic profiles bundled. Protect sensitive surfaces with film and foam.
Are there discounts for regular long goods shipping?
Yes, framework contracts are available for steel dealers, sawmills and industrial companies with regular long goods shipping. Volume discounts start from 10 shipments/month.
