Heavy Machinery RoRo Shipment
Shipping heavy equipment overseas can be done in a Roll on Roll off (RoRo) ship where the machines is secured to the ship’s deck using straps and braces. If a RoRo (Roll on Roll off) is available and the heavy machinery can be rolled onto the ship, then RoRo may be a good option
Heavy Machinery Flat Rack Shipment
If there is no RoRo service available to your destination or the equipment cannot fit into a standard container, then a fixed-end or a collapsible-end flat rack may be used. “Out of Gauge” items (those items being greater than 8 feet in width) are often shipped on a flat rack and the items are charged by the cubic feet or cubic meters. Getting a flat rack to an international destination can be very expensive and sometimes not logistically possible.
Heavy Machinery Container Shipment
Shipping heavy equipment to Africa by container is a popular way to cut costs. If it is possible to partially dismantle the equipment, it can often be placed in a 40 foot or 40 HC container. This can be done by a professional export packing warehouse. While there is a cost to dismantle and reassemble the equipment, the savings of using this method can often be your best value. Another advantage is to consider the savings of import duty. It is often declared as waived for what is frequently declared as “parts” rather than a fully assembled piece of equipment.
Container shipping is often the most economical way to ship heavy equipment internationally.
