Expert LOLO freight shipping solutions for heavy and oversized cargo

LOLO freight is a critical logistics method for businesses requiring the transport of heavy, oversized or irregularly shaped cargo. Using cranes to lift goods directly onto and off vessels, LOLO shipping accommodates cargo that cannot fit in standard containers or be driven onto ships. Industries like construction, energy and heavy manufacturing rely on this specialised method to move essential equipment safely and efficiently.
As a trusted leader in heavy cargo logistics, Stellar International offers tailored, reliable solutions for businesses managing large-scale, on-going shipments.
Get in touchWhat is LOLO Freight?
LOLO freight, also known as Lift-On/Lift-Off shipping, involves the use of cranes to load and unload cargo. This method is ideal for transporting oversized goods that cannot be accommodated by standard containers or RORO (Roll-On/Roll-Off) systems.
Unlike RORO, which relies on vehicles to drive cargo aboard, or containerised shipping for uniform loads, LOLO excels at oversized freight handling, such as turbines, beams or machinery. It is also ideal for cargo requiring precise placement using cranes for port operations and ship loading. For businesses dealing with unique cargo dimensions, LOLO is the most versatile and secure shipping method available.
