Shipping Excavators and Diggers to Brazil: A Streamlined Solution
Specialised Transport for Heavy Machinery
Transporting heavy machinery, such as excavators and diggers, to Brazil requires specialist logistical planning. Due to their considerable size and weight, these items demand expert handling throughout the shipping process. Ocean Cargo provides a dedicated service, managing the complexities of international freight forwarding to ensure the secure and punctual arrival of your equipment.
Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Cargo Expertise
Excavators and diggers often exceed standard shipping dimensions, classifying them as out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo. This requires a tailored transportation strategy compared to standard container shipments. We utilise our extensive experience in handling OOG shipments, employing specialised techniques to guarantee secure transit. Our team meticulously plans each stage, from initial collection to final delivery.
We deploy a range of specialist equipment and techniques, including flat rack containers and robust lashing methods. These solutions protect your valuable equipment from damage during transit, reducing the potential for costly repairs. Our attention to detail encompasses every aspect, from pre-shipment inspections to stringent quality control checks throughout the journey.
Customised Shipping Options: Sea, Air, and Project Logistics
The optimal shipping method is determined by your specific requirements and priorities. Ocean freight provides a cost-effective solution for heavy machinery, particularly suitable for larger projects with flexible deadlines. For time-critical projects, air freight offers a faster alternative. We evaluate your needs and recommend the most efficient and economical option.
For large-scale projects involving multiple pieces of equipment, our project logistics service offers a holistic approach. This encompasses detailed planning, coordination, customs clearance, and on-site delivery. We manage every detail, enabling you to concentrate on your core business operations.

Investment Protection: Insurance and Secure Handling Protocols

We partner with leading insurance providers to offer coverage, protecting your investment against potential damage or loss during transit. Our insurance options are tailored to your specific needs and the value of your equipment.
