Handling Oversized Cargo in Jacksonville: Food Truck Trailer Devanning Success Story

When it comes to container devanning in Jacksonville, most people think of standard palletized freight or floor-loaded boxes. But what happens when you need to unload something that doesn’t fit the typical mold? At On-Demand Warehousing and Fulfillment, we recently tackled an exciting challenge that showcases our capability to handle oversized and non-standard cargo: devanning a fully assembled food truck trailer.

The Challenge: More Than Just Boxes

Not every container holds neatly stacked pallets. Our team was contacted to handle the devanning of a food truck trailer that arrived via container at the Port of Jacksonville. This wasn’t your typical unloading job. The trailer was large, heavy, and required careful maneuvering to safely extract from the container without damage.

This project highlighted a critical capability that sets us apart in the Jacksonville logistics market: our ability to handle oversized, irregularly shaped, and specialty cargo that many 3PLs simply aren’t equipped to manage.

Our Oversized Cargo Capabilities

At our 18,000 square foot facility on Perimeter Industrial Parkway, we have the space, equipment, and expertise to handle cargo that goes beyond standard dimensions:

Equipment and Infrastructure

• Six dock doors: Multiple access points provide flexibility for different container configurations and cargo types
• Spacious facility: With 10,000 square feet of available space, we can accommodate large items that need staging room
• Experienced team: Our crew has handled everything from industrial pipes to automotive equipment, giving us the problem-solving experience needed for unique challenges
