Container Drayage for Steel and Metal Imports at PortMiami

Container Drayage for Steel and Metal Imports at PortMiami

Steel, aluminum, and metal products are among the heaviest commodities moving through PortMiami. From structural steel beams and rebar to aluminum sheets and specialty alloys, these imports require heavy-duty drayage expertise.

Weight and Equipment Requirements

Steel containers frequently exceed Florida’s 80,000 lb gross weight limit. A 20′ container of steel plate can weigh 50,000+ lbs of cargo. Heavy haul equipment with additional axles, overweight permits, or transloading to split loads are standard solutions.

Load Securement

Metal products shift during transport if not properly secured. Steel coils, beams, and sheets require specific blocking and bracing inside the container. At delivery, overhead cranes or heavy-capacity forklifts are typically needed at the warehouse or fabrication shop.
