Excavator and Digger Shipping to Australia: A Streamlined Solution

Shipping Heavy Machinery to Australia: Overcoming the Hurdles

Moving heavy machinery, such as excavators and diggers, across international borders demands precise planning and execution. The intricacies of international shipping, particularly for out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo, necessitate a freight forwarder with demonstrated proficiency. Ocean Cargo provides a streamlined, efficient, and dependable service for transporting your earthmoving equipment to Australia.

Shipping excavators and diggers to Australia presents specific challenges. The size and weight of these machines often classify them as OOG cargo, requiring specialised handling, secure transport methods, and careful attention to weight restrictions and dimensional limitations. Furthermore, navigating Australian customs regulations and ensuring prompt clearance adds further complexity. Ocean Cargo's experience mitigates these challenges, providing a smooth process.

Sea Freight: A Reliable and Economical Option

For projects where budget is a primary concern, sea freight offers a compelling solution. Ocean Cargo utilises robust flat rack containers, ideally suited for accommodating the dimensions of excavators and diggers. These containers provide secure protection during transit, minimising the risk of damage. Our team manages every stage of the sea freight process, from initial pick-up and loading to port-to-port transportation and final delivery. We manage all necessary documentation, ensuring compliance with international shipping regulations and facilitating swift customs clearance.

Our sea freight service provides real-time tracking and updates, keeping you informed of your shipment's progress. Our proactive approach to risk management ensures your equipment arrives in optimal condition, on time and within budget. We recognise the importance of timely delivery and work diligently to meet your deadlines.
