Racks and Freight Shipment

Not all cargo fits inside standard shipping containers. That’s where ISL’s Racks and Freight Shipment Services step in. Designed for cargo that exceeds conventional container dimensions or requires non-standard loading and lashing, our rack-based shipping solutions are engineered for reliability, safety, and global reach.

At ISL Integrated Logistics and Shipping, we specialize in the movement of heavy, bulky, or non-conforming cargo using advanced flat racks, open-top containers, and breakbulk configurations. Backed by decades of engineering experience, customized lifting plans, and a global logistics network, we make sure your freight gets where it needs to go — securely and on time.
