Outsize cargo is a designation given to goods of unusually large size. This term is often applied to cargo which cannot fit on standardized transport devices such as skids or pallets or containers. This includes military and other vehicles.[1][2]

In extreme cases, such as the space shuttle or Buran spacecraft, the cargo may be carried on the exterior, atop a large cargo aircraft.
