Shipping Recycling Machinery to Belgium: Your Export Solution
Exporting heavy machinery, particularly recycling and waste management equipment such as compactors, balers, shredders, and granulators, to Belgium demands specialist expertise. Ocean Cargo delivers a dependable and efficient service, prioritising the secure and punctual arrival of your valuable assets. We manage all logistical elements, ensuring a streamlined experience from initial consultation to final delivery.
Bespoke Shipping Plans for Your Machinery
Selecting the optimal shipping method hinges on the dimensions and weight of your machinery. Oversized (OOG) items frequently require flat rack containers for secure transport, providing essential stability and protection during transit. Smaller units can often be shipped efficiently and economically within standard containers (FCL). Our meticulous planning process begins with a detailed assessment of your equipment, enabling us to select the most appropriate and cost-effective shipping solution. We consider all factors, including weight, dimensions, fragility, and specific delivery requirements, to develop a tailored plan.

Ocean Cargo possesses substantial experience in managing out-of-gauge shipments. Our team utilises proven techniques and industry best practices to secure your equipment, minimising the risk of damage throughout the entire journey. We understand the unique challenges associated with transporting heavy and often complex machinery. Our experience enables us to provide bespoke solutions tailored to the specific needs of recycling and waste management equipment. This includes careful consideration of weight distribution, securing methods, and environmental factors to ensure safe and timely arrival.
