What to know when booking industrial equipment moving services
Follow these recommendations when organising plant machinery transport or industrial equipment shipping:
- Provide the exact dimensions and weight of the equipment when placing your order.
- Prepare and secure your equipment according to our packing guidelines.
- Prepare the equipment or machinery to be collected on the ground floor, if possible. Please inform us if you need extra assistance during collection, such as forklifts and tail-lifts.
How to prepare plant machinery and industrial equipment for shipping
When in need to transport heavy or large machinery, follow this guideline and prepare your equipment properly for shipping. The best way to transport plant machinery and industrial equipment is by palletising or crating the shipment.
- Wrap the equipment with bubble wrap or foil, to protect it from moisture or dust.
- Place the machinery or equipment on a pallet or crate. Block and brace it with wooden, plastic, or metal obstacles to keep cargo from sliding.
- If you are shipping machinery with wheels, use straps, blocks or bars to prevent wheels from spinning.
- Use foam cushioning for the inner corners and ages of the crate to protect the shipment.
- Close the crate and fix it on a pallet if needed.
Insurance options when shipping large machinery internationally
Freight shipments are automatically insured following the CMR convention, but you can add additional insurance on top of this. Get extra coverage for more expensive large machinery during the booking procedure or request our specialised agents for a tailor-made offer.
Transport plant machinery and other large equipment by Van
The best alternative when organising a cross country or international transportation of heavy machinery is booking the Van service. Get the whole van reserved solely for your shipment across Europe to easily move the industrial machinery to and from a warehouse, factory or manufacture. The dedicated van delivery is the most convenient and fast industrial equipment moving service, as the van will go directly from one address to the other with no stopovers. Book early and get your load moving the same day, or arrange next-day collection if booked before 4 pm. Upon request, the courier driver will help to place the items on the van and make sure they are safe for transport. Let us know in advance if you need extra assistance or forklifts for collection.
