The two most common ways to ship construction and agricultural equipment overseas are Roll On / Roll Off and Containerized shipping. Roll On / Roll Off shipping is when the unit is driven or towed onto a specialized vessel for transporting self-propelled cargo using the RoRo vessel's built-in ramp. RoRo prices are based upon the cargo's overall volume and weight. If the unit is tracked instead of wheeled (Like a Kobelco LC210), there is also usually an extra charge. Depending on your destination, shipment of a large unit can easily cost over $10,000.00, but K International Transport can help you cut that in half by containerizing your unit.
K International Transport has contacts with a wide variety of warehouse and mechanics that can disassemble portions of your construction of agricultural unit so that it can fit inside a 20' or 40' container. This way, you are paying the rate for shipping a container instead of a rate based on the dimensions of your unit. This often can halve the price of shipping construction equipment overseas. Containerization is an economical option for shipping a wide variety of construction and agricultural machinery, for example:
- CAT 950
- Kobelco LC210
- CAT 416B
- JLG 600S manlift
- CAT 12E
The above are just a few units that K international has recently dismantled, loaded, and shipped internationally to ports like:
- Mombasa, Kenya
- Kuwait
- Singapore
- Dakar, Senegal
- Nhava Sheva, india (pictured below)
