Dimensions and weight
Exact dimensions and gross weight determine the container type, the loading method, and whether special equipment is needed.
Machinery & Industrial Equipment
Shipping machinery and industrial equipment.
Machinery shipments depend on dimensions, weight, packing, and how the equipment will be loaded, handled, and delivered. Whether you are importing a production line from China or exporting equipment from Egypt, we help you plan the details before the shipment moves.
What matters for this industry
Packing and protection
Machinery may need crating, fixing, and moisture protection suited to the route and transit time.
Loading and delivery site
Access at the supplier’s site and at your facility affects loading, unloading, and final delivery arrangements.
Documents and specifications
Commercial documents and technical specifications should describe the equipment consistently to avoid delays at customs.
Importing
If your supplier is already selected, we focus on shipment planning, documents, and delivery. If you are still comparing suppliers, we can also discuss supplier and specification checks before you place the order.

Common questions
Can machinery that does not fit a standard container be shipped?
Oversized equipment may require special containers or other arrangements. This is reviewed for each shipment based on dimensions, weight, route, and availability.
Do I need exact dimensions before requesting a quotation?
Approximate information is enough to start the conversation. Exact dimensions and weights are needed before the quotation can be confirmed.
