We lift what others can't
Born in Chicago as a crane-rental crew, today LiftItCargo is a full-stack cargo operator on three continents.
From one forklift in 2014 to 320 trucks, 45,000 m² of warehouses and own charter network in 2026.
LiftItCargo.com started with a simple idea: heavy cargo should be as easy to book as a taxi. Today manufacturers, construction firms, e-commerce brands and event producers trust us with mission-critical freight. We engineer the lift, we fly it, sail it, drive it — and we show you every mile live.
- ✔ Engineering first: lift plans, CAD rigging schemes, axle-load calculations for every oversize move.
- ✔ One contract, all modes: air + sea + road + customs in a single invoice and single SLA.
- ✔ Live visibility: GPS, temperature, shock sensors and photo POD in your dashboard.
- ✔ Sustainability: HVO fuel, intermodal rail, 31% CO₂ cut since 2021. SmartWay certified.
