Whether it’s transporting massive wind turbines, relocating entire factories, or ensuring the safe delivery of museum-grade collectibles, project cargo logistics is never just about moving items from point A to point B. It’s about precision planning, specialized equipment, cross-border coordination, and, above all, trust.
Transglobal Cargo has carved out a niche in handling project cargo across Africa by combining technical expertise with local knowledge and a commitment to compliance and care. From Namibia to Kenya, and into the MENA region, our reach is expanding, but it’s our methods that set us apart.
Let’s explore what makes Transglobal Cargo the preferred choice for moving oversized, high-value, and high-stakes shipments across the continent.
Delivering Heavy & Oversized Cargo with Precision
Moving wind turbines, generators, pipelines, or port cranes isn’t a matter of loading up a container and hitting the road. It involves route assessments, permits, escorts, and custom loading solutions. Transglobal Cargo specializes in heavy-lift and out-of-gauge cargo, with teams trained to manage on-site coordination and critical infrastructure constraints.
We work closely with:
Engineering procurement firms
Multinationals in construction and infrastructure
Energy developers scaling operations across Southern and East Africa
Our project planning begins at the blueprint stage and extends through last-mile delivery. Every route is risk-assessed. Every piece of equipment is pre-checked. And every milestone is tracked in real time.
End-to-End Factory Relocations Made Seamless
Factory relocations across African borders or into Special Economic Zones (SEZs) require more than trucks and cranes, they demand a partner who understands dismantling, customs, and reassembly.
Transglobal Cargo offers end-to-end services that cover:
- Machinery disassembly and inventory tagging
- Safe transport with climate-controlled or vibration-protected solutions
- Customs clearance support and coordination
- On-site reinstallation planning and execution
We’ve helped manufacturing conglomerates shift operations across borders with zero loss, zero damage, and full traceability.
Specialized Handling for Museums, Collectors, and Exhibitions
Transporting cultural assets like art, antiques, or rare vintage vehicles demands white-glove logistics. At Transglobal Cargo, we don’t just deliver items, we preserve their value, history, and integrity.
We offer:
- Climate-controlled packaging and transport
- Insured, GPS-tracked shipments
- On-board couriers and sealed custody options
- White-glove delivery and unpacking at the destination
Our clients include national museums, auction houses, and collectors of rare automotive and artistic pieces across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Whether it’s a Renaissance-era painting or a prototype defense system on exhibit, our protocols ensure peace of mind.
Powering Africa’s Oil & Gas Sector with Compliant Logistics
In the oil and gas industry, there is no room for delay or non-compliance. Transglobal Cargo delivers high-risk, high-value cargo to and from drilling zones, refineries, and construction sites under some of the tightest regulations in the world.
We are registered with:
South Africa’s NCACC (National Conventional Arms Control Committee)
CIE (Chief Inspector of Explosives) for DG-compliant operations
Our fleet is equipped for DG (dangerous goods) transport, and our drivers undergo recurring safety and compliance training. We also support route monitoring and real-time incident response.
Clients in this segment include:
- Upstream contractors
- Global energy firms
- Logistics integrators serving the African and MENA energy corridors
Geographic Reach: Expanding Across Africa and Beyond
While our roots are in South Africa, our footprint is growing steadily. We handle both inbound and outbound project cargo movements across:
Southern Africa: Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola
East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania
MENA and Europe: Targeting defense, industrial, and energy suppliers exporting into Africa
We work closely with port authorities, customs bodies, and inland clearance hubs to ensure cargo moves smoothly through every leg of the journey.
