heavy cargo

Bulk goods transported

Heavy cargo refers to freight that is exceptionally weighty, requiring specialized equipment or vessels for transport.

The term appears in shipping and logistics contexts where standard handling won't suffice: The port installed new cranes for heavy cargo.

Heavy cargo often involves industrial machinery, construction materials, or oversized equipment that demands reinforced containers or dedicated cargo ships.
