In today’s fast-moving global supply chain, not every shipment fits into a standard container. That’s where specialized logistics steps in. Whether it’s delicate medical devices, oversized machinery, or time-critical aerospace components, specialized global logistics brings the right tools, expert handling, and precise planning.
Unlike general freight, these tailored services go beyond simple pick-up and delivery. For example, transporting CT scanners from China to Germany requires climate-controlled shipping, secure packaging, real-time tracking, and trained handlers at every checkpoint. That’s the value specialized logistics services make: reduced risks, faster customs clearance, and optimized routing.
With Airsupply’s specialized logistics, businesses can avoid delays, reduce compliance issues, and stay ahead of costly disruptions. Read on to explore practical specialized cargo solutions we’ve successfully delivered.
Case 1: Shipping lithium batteries to Poland: 8+ tons Weekly
Transporting lithium batteries isn’t your typical freight task. Classified as dangerous goods under IATA and IMDG regulations, they demand extra care, proper certifications, and precise coordination at every stage.
Each week, we manage over 8 tons (17636lbs) of lithium battery shipments from China to Hwasa, Poland. Our specialized logistics solutions cover MSDS documentation guidance, dedicated storage near departure airports, and priority air freight scheduling with consistent port-to-port service.
Through close collaboration with airline carriers and customs officials, we ensure every shipment arrives safely and on schedule.
Case 2: Bulk cargo shipment: Oversized semi-trailers from China to Mexico
When a client needed to move 15 extra-long trailers to Mexico, we activated a full-scale, specialized global logistics operation. Each trailer measured 15 meters in length and weighed 10 tons, qualified as oversized and overweight cargo.
We arranged a dedicated bulk carrier ship specifically designed for non-containerized cargo. Each semi-trailer was carefully lifted using specialized cranes, secured with heavy-duty steel chains, and monitored by trained loading crews on site. With a streamlined port-to-port model, the entire shipment cleared customs quickly and reached the destination in under 30 days.
From custom stowage plans to port coordination, our expedited specialized logistics team delivered speed, safety, and certainty at scale.
Case 3: Aircraft engine transport from China to Turkey in 72 Hours
We smoothly delivered a $3 million aircraft engine from Hong Kong to Istanbul, meeting the technical and operational requirements of our aerospace client.
From pickup to final unloading, every step followed a precision-engineered plan. Our team used hydraulic lifters and custom shock-absorbing crates to ensure safe handling during loading.
Additionally, we enabled real-time GPS tracking throughout the flight and arranged a direct air freight solution—no transshipments, no delays.
At both departure and arrival points, trained specialists handled loading and unloading with dedicated equipment. Every movement followed strict safety protocols, with multi-layered protection to eliminate any risk of in-transit damage.
