Special equipment
When a standard box is not enough.
REEFER
Usable space is reduced by insulation and refrigeration machinery. Confirm set point, ventilation, humidity, pre-cooling rules and commodity requirements.
OPEN TOP
Provide the complete cargo envelope, lifting points and any over-height measurement. Tarpaulin and route restrictions must be reviewed.
FLAT RACK
Width, height and length overhangs affect slot planning and pricing. Lashing, blocking, weight concentration and lifting plans are essential.
Before requesting equipment
Send the cargo facts—not just the container size.
BRL uses the cargo profile to validate equipment availability and identify special handling before a booking is confirmed.
