Gelder Logistics is the ideal partner for transportation of oversized freight. Oversized freight or oversize cargo is freight with, for example, a girth of more than 3 meters. We organize the transport of oversized freight via various carriers from our network, which are equipped for the transport of oversize cargo. Oversized freight is generally not transported via regular transport from PostNL, DHL or UPS. These packages can be booked via the Gelder MPD portal. For oversize freight shipping, our carriers offer options via road transport and air transport.

FTL vs LTL

FTL stands for Full Truckload. This means that a truck is fully loaded with goods from one sender, in contrast to LTL (Less than Truckload). In LTL, goods from multiple senders are transported together and the senders pay for the space their goods occupy in the truck. LTL is therefore a financially favorable way of transporting goods. FTL is often used for large shipments such as machinery, construction materials, and bulk goods, and has the advantage of being able to keep delivery times to a minimum.
