In May 2023, InterMax Logistics Solutions, a proud member of the New Silk Road Network from China successfully completed the delivery of a 45.4-ton Solid Frame Mechanical Press from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to Alashankou via Shanghai Port. The mechanical press measured 3.73 x 5 x 3 meters and occupied a volume of 58 cubic meters.

Due to its weight and size, the cargo could not be loaded onto a flat rack for shipment. Instead, InterMax opted to transport it via a breakbulk vessel from Kaohsiung to Shanghai. To facilitate the unloading process, a lifting crane was arranged, allowing the cargo to be directly loaded onto the truck from Intermax. This step was necessary as the port crane in Shanghai had a weightlifting capacity of only 30 tons. The cargo was stored at a bonded warehouse for two days before heading to its destination at the Chinese- Kazakh border.

The transportation of the oversized cargo overland presented additional challenges, as it exceeded the standard width and height limits. InterMax meticulously planned the route and employed specialized equipment to ensure the safe transport of the cargo. The company also secured the required licenses and permits to comply with all relevant regulations.
In the end, the 4400-kilometer road trip from Shanghai to Alashankou took a mere 4 days, and the cargo was collected by the receiver at the border. The trucking operation was executed flawlessly, thanks to InterMax's expertise in handling cross-border transportation. The swift and efficient service impressed the client, as the entire transportation process, encompassing both ocean and road travel, was completed within a remarkable 12-day timeframe.
