Shipping Construction Equipment to Austria
Transporting construction equipment, such as concrete mixers, graders, compactors, and pavers, to Austria demands precision and expertise. Ocean Cargo ensures your machinery arrives on schedule and in optimal condition, ready for deployment on Austrian infrastructure projects. We manage every aspect, from collection to final delivery, to ensure a streamlined and efficient process.
Navigating the Complexities of Heavy Machinery Transport
Shipping heavy machinery presents unique logistical challenges. Much of this equipment is classified as out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo, exceeding standard container dimensions. This requires specialised solutions, such as flat rack containers, to ensure secure transit. The weight of the equipment requires careful handling throughout the shipping process to prevent damage and delays. Our experienced team understands these complexities and employs industry best practices to ensure your valuable equipment arrives undamaged.
Tailored Shipping Solutions
The optimal shipping method depends on project urgency, equipment value, and specific project requirements. Sea freight provides a cost-effective solution for large-scale projects, offering reliable transport over long distances. For time-critical projects, air freight offers faster delivery, albeit at a higher cost. We collaborate with you to assess your needs and recommend the most suitable and efficient solution.

For large-scale projects involving multiple equipment units, our project logistics service offers dedicated support. We coordinate every aspect of the shipment, from initial collection and pre-shipment inspections to customs clearance and final delivery. Our team monitors each stage, minimising potential delays and proactively mitigating risks. This proactive management ensures a smooth and efficient process.
