Specialized Project Cargo Equipment: Inside CLG’s Capabilities
Handling project cargo requires far more than basic coordination. It involves the strategic planning and transportation of complex, high-value, oversized, and heavy freight that doesn’t fit into standard shipping containers.
At Coastal Logistics Group, our project cargo operations utilize a range of high-capacity material-handling equipment, dedicated transportation assets, and integrated logistics services to deliver flexible solutions for moving complex freight safely and efficiently.
Key Equipment Supporting Project Cargo Operations
CLG regularly manages a wide range of non-standard freight requiring specialized handling. This often includes construction equipment, out-of-gauge crates containing various types of cargo, aircraft cargo loaders, vehicles, and large off-road tires. These projects often involve irregular shapes, sensitive components, or extremely heavy loads requiring careful lift planning, cargo securement, and transportation coordination.
CLG’s project cargo capabilities are supported by a fleet of specialized equipment that provides the adaptability and operational strength needed to handle unique cargo requirements.
Reach Stacker: Precision Handling for Heavy & Oversized Cargo
A key piece of project cargo equipment supporting operations is the Taylor Reach Stacker that was most recently added to the CLG yard in 2025. With a lifting capacity of 99,000 pounds, this powerful machine allows our team to safely move and position extremely heavy or out-of-gauge cargo throughout the yard and during loading operations.

Unlike traditional cranes that require fixed positioning, reach stackers offer mobility and flexibility, allowing operators to approach cargo from multiple angles and reposition loads quickly. This mobility reduces setup time and enables faster transitions between tasks.
Our reach stacker is particularly valuable for complex project cargo such as oversized industrial equipment, heavy steel components, or machinery moving through port facilities. It can lift cargo from flat racks or open-top containers, stage materials in the yard, and load heavy freight onto specialized trailers with precision and control.
By combining high lifting capacity with operational agility, the reach stacker helps CLG improve efficiency, maintain safe handling practices, and meet the demanding requirements of heavy-lift logistics.
Industrial Forklifts: Controlled Handling for Oversized Freight
CLG also operates a fleet of heavy-duty industrial forklifts with capacities ranging from 12,000 to 55,000 pounds, providing flexible solutions for a wide variety of project cargo.

Designed to handle extremely heavy loads, this forklift provides precise control for moving oversized machinery and large industrial components.
55,000 lb Lift Truck
36,000 lb Lift Truck
Ideal for lifting out-of-gauge crates and heavy equipment, offering both strength and maneuverability in tight spaces.
19,000 lb Lift Truck
Versatile for mid-size and oversized shipments, balancing lifting power with agility for diverse cargo needs.
36,000 lb Lift Truck & 19,000 lb Lift Truck
12,000 lb Lift Truck
Perfect for smaller heavy freight or areas with space constraints, ensuring safe and efficient handling.
These lift trucks provide the strength and precision needed to maneuver project cargo safely during staging, loading, and unloading operations. When paired with experienced operators and detailed lift planning, they help maintain efficient cargo flow while protecting the structural integrity of high-value shipments.
55-Ton Stretched Double Drop Trailers: Built for High-Capacity Transport
For over-the-road transport, CLG has several 55-ton stretched double drop trailers, designed specifically for hauling oversized and heavy project cargo. Their extended deck and low-profile design allow for safe transport of tall or irregularly shaped equipment while remaining compliant with transportation regulations.

By combining specialized transportation equipment with experienced logistics coordination, CLG ensures project cargo moves safely from port to final destination.
Rigging and Secure Equipment
Supporting all of these assets, CLG maintains an extensive inventory of rigging and securement equipment, ensuring cargo is properly stabilized for lifting and transport. Proper rigging safeguards both the freight and the team handling it.
