Preparing Heavy Equipment For Shipping
- Assessment and documentation
Firstly, you'll want to conduct a thorough assessment of the equipment. Take your time and carefully evaluate its condition. Check for any existing damages, wear, and tear, or potential issues. This assessment will give you a clear picture of the equipment's current state. Now, here's a pro tip: grab your camera and start snapping away! Take plenty of photographs of the equipment from various angles. These photos will serve as solid evidence of the equipment's condition before it embarks on its journey. Then, gather all the necessary documentation for the transportation process. This includes ownership papers, permits, licenses, or any other legal documents that are required. Double-check that you have everything in order, so there are no hiccups or delays when it comes time to ship your equipment. - Cleaning and disassembly
Equipment should be cleaned thoroughly to remove any dirt, debris, and hazardous materials. Disassemble removable parts and accessories, securely packaging and labeling them for easy identification. - Securing and protecting
Properly secure loose or fragile components to prevent damage during transit. Protect vulnerable areas by using appropriate padding, covering, or wrapping materials. Ensure that all doors, windows, and access points are securely closed and locked. - Drain fluids and disconnect batteries
Drain fuel, oil, coolant, and other fluids from the equipment to prevent leaks or spills during transportation. Disconnect and remove the battery, ensuring it is securely packaged separately. - Loading and securing
Determine the appropriate loading method based on the equipment's size and weight. Utilize cranes, forklifts, or loading ramps to safely load the equipment onto the trailer or shipping container. Use heavy-duty straps, chains, or braces to secure the equipment and prevent shifting during transit. - Documentation and insurance
Complete all required shipping documentation accurately, including shipping labels, customs forms, and insurance declarations. Verify that you have adequate insurance coverage to protect against any potential damages or losses during transit.

Overseas and International Heavy Equipment Transport
Overseas or international heavy equipment transport is something we specialize in, despite the complexity, meticulous planning, and coordination needed.
When shipping heavy equipment across borders or overseas, there are several key considerations to keep in mind. Firstly, it is crucial to research and comply with the import/export regulations and customs requirements of the destination country. This includes obtaining the necessary permits, licenses, and documentation needed for the transportation.
The equipment must be properly packaged and secured. Specialized shipping containers or flat racks may be used to accommodate oversized or irregularly shaped equipment.
Of course, our expert team will happily handle the logistics, arrange for suitable shipping modes, and navigate potential challenges like port regulations and customs clearance, to ensure a smooth and efficient international heavy equipment transport!

The shipment methods we offer are:
- RoRo Shipping
or roll on, roll off shipping, involves driving heavy equipment onto a specialized vessel using ramps. This method is commonly used for wheeled or self-propelled equipment such as trucks, trailers, or bulldozers. The equipment is securely lashed and parked inside the ship's designated cargo area. Upon reaching the destination, the equipment is driven off the vessel using ramps. - Flat Rack Shipping
is suitable for oversized or irregularly shaped equipment that cannot fit into standard containers. Flat racks are open platforms without sides, allowing flexibility in accommodating large or bulky equipment. The equipment is securely fastened to the flat rack using straps or chains. This method provides stability and protection during transit and is often used for heavy machinery, construction equipment, or oversized vehicles. - Container Shipping
involves placing heavy equipment inside standard shipping containers. This method offers added security and protection from external elements. It is suitable for equipment that can fit within the dimensions of the container. The equipment is loaded into the container at the origin, sealed, and transported via cargo ships. At the destination, the container is unloaded using cranes or forklifts. - LoLo (Lift-On/Lift-Off)
is a method used when heavy equipment cannot be driven onto a vessel. Instead, cranes or other lifting equipment are employed to lift the equipment and place it onboard the ship. This method is commonly used for extremely heavy or non-self-propelled equipment such as large industrial machinery or turbines.
