Hazardous Cargo

HAZARDOUS CARGO

EDNA Freight Services does not want to move (all kinds of) Dangerous and Hazardous goods as set out by the IATA, both locally and internationally. The vast differences in industries we serve, would mean a massive variety in the dangerous cargo we would receive, which all needs special and different handling.

The express nature of our business does not allow for this cargo and the mix thereof. Some IATA Hazardous Cargo can however be shipped via Road Freight within the borders of the Republic and in some instances cross border to neighbouring countries.

If you are unsure of your commodity, call us and we can advise if this is safe for carriage. We do not want to contaminate customer’s cargo with these commodities and cause a danger to ordinary packages.



Actual vs Volumetric Weight

SIZE MATTERS

Any and all shipments will be charged (chargeable weight) on which ever is greater ACTUAL WEIGHT vs VOLUMETRIC WEIGHT.

  • ACTUAL WEIGHT: The reading we get from the scale in kilogramme (calibrated daily).
  • VOLUMETRIC WEIGHT: The weight is calculated by multiplying all three dimensions (length x width x height) in centimetres and dividing that total by the volumetric factor for the service selected.

  • VOLUMETRIC FACTORS
