Machinery and machine tools involve a wide range of cargo with different sizes and weights. By transporting the units on rolltrailers we ensure the machines are safe and secure throughout the entire voyage.
Machinery and machine tools involve a wide range of cargo with different sizes and weights. These units are static and are transported on our roll trailers where they are lashed to the deck. Machinery is often highly sophisticated cargo and must be handled with the greatest care. By transporting the units on roll trailers, we ensure the machines are safe and secure throughout the entire voyage.
With a fleet designed for maximum flexibility, we are able to cater for a wide range of cargo. Our customers range from global vehicle manufacturers to producers of high and heavy construction equipment and other rolling and non-rolling stock. Höegh Autoliners is also a leading carrier of secondhand vehicles.
The machinery is carefully loaded on one of our vessels. The choice of vessel depends on the size, weight, and type of machinery being transported. We use specialized roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) cargo ships.
RoRo ships have ramps allowing easy loading and unloading of wheeled machinery. Furthermore, underdeck stowage on our RoRo vessels offer a dry and controlled atmosphere, which means no seawater will reach your cargo during transportation. As a result, you can rely on less costly packaging solutions when preparing your cargo for transportation.
We can transport various types of machinery and machinery tools including bulldozers, cranes, excavators, pavers, tractors, jcb’s, and bob cats.
We can deliver machinery all over the world. Explore our trade routes to find out more.
The cost associated with transporting heavy machinery and industrial equipment depends on various factors. These factors comprise the equipment’s dimensions and weight, the distance of transportation, and any additional services needed. Get a quote here.
The time it takes to ship machinery by sea can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the distance between the origin and destination, the specific ports involved, the type of machinery being shipped, the shipping route, and the shipping method.
Before shipping machinery, it’s essential to clean and decontaminate it thoroughly. Machinery that is dirty or contaminated can pose environmental risks, and many countries have strict regulations regarding the cleanliness of imported goods. It is worth getting the machinery pressure washed to remove all dirt and debris to prevent your shipment from being turned away.
Höegh Autoliners does not allow any cargo that represents a danger to the crew, vessel or environment, including machinery with oil leaks. You can find our cargo acceptance policy here.
