A Felixstowe-based container storage and transport provider, James Kemball, has invested £400,000 in special equipment, enabling it to launch a new service. The new service focuses on out-of-gauge (OOG) project cargo service.

The equipment, including a new Timars OH semi-automatic spreader and multi lift modular spreader frames, allows the company to load OOG cargo from containers arriving and departing at the Port of Felixstowe and other ports around the UK.

These include oversized and bespoke items that require specialist handling that very few providers can handle.

Andy Tattersall, commercial & operations director at James Kemball Container Services, said, “I am thrilled to announce our company’s significant investment in a new Out-of-Gauge Project Cargo Service. This strategic move demonstrates our unwavering dedication to meeting our clients’ diverse needs and reinforces our position as a frontrunner in the industry.”

The company’s new equipment includes an 18 tonne forklift, which ensures all cargo, whatever the shape or size, can be handled safely and professionally.

Established in 1973, James Kemball provides container transport and storage solutions to shipping companies and freight forwarders across the UK, Europe and worldwide.

Boasting a fleet of more than 500 vehicles, they can serve all the UK’s deep sea container ports, rail terminals and inland hubs.
