Shipping Balers, Shredders, and More to Canada: A Streamlined Process

Transporting recycling and waste management machinery to Canada, including compactors, balers, shredders, granulators, and other heavy equipment, demands meticulous planning and execution. These substantial machines require careful handling to ensure safe and timely delivery. Ocean Cargo provides expert freight forwarding services, adeptly managing the complexities of these shipments to guarantee a smooth experience for our clients. We offer tailored solutions, from standard containerised shipments to the intricacies of out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo, specifically designed to meet your requirements.

Sea Freight: The Economical Choice for Substantial Shipments

Sea freight is often the most practical and economical solution for transporting heavy or bulky recycling equipment. Ocean Cargo delivers a range of sea freight options, optimised for both cost and transit time. We collaborate with reputable shipping lines to secure competitive rates and reliable schedules. Our sea freight services include:

  • Container loading and securing
  • Documentation management
  • Proactive communication throughout the shipping process

We carefully evaluate your equipment's dimensions and weight to determine the most suitable container type and shipping method, ensuring efficient space utilisation and cost-effectiveness. This includes assessing whether your equipment is suitable for standard containers (FCL) or requires the specialised handling of flat rack containers for out-of-gauge items. Further information on our sea freight options to Canada is available at Sea Freight to Canada.

Air Freight: Prioritising Speed for Time-Critical Deliveries

While typically more expensive than sea freight, air freight offers unparalleled speed when rapid delivery is essential. This is particularly advantageous for urgent projects or when minimising downtime is critical. Ocean Cargo partners with leading airlines to provide reliable and efficient air freight services to Canada. We manage all aspects of the air freight process, from customs documentation to on-time delivery to your specified destination.

Our team assesses your requirements to determine the most cost-effective and timely air freight solution. We understand the premium associated with speed and strive to balance cost and speed to provide optimal value. Details on our air freight options are available at: Air Freight to Canada.

Expert Management of Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Shipments

Due to their size and weight, many recycling machines are classified as OOG cargo, requiring specialist handling and secure fastening to prevent damage during transit. Ocean Cargo has extensive experience in managing OOG shipments, employing proven techniques to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of your oversized equipment.

We meticulously plan each stage of the process, from initial assessment and securing appropriate transport to careful loading and unloading at both origin and destination. Our team understands the specific challenges posed by OOG cargo and implements rigorous safety protocols to mitigate risks and prevent delays. We utilise experienced and qualified personnel and collaborate with reliable partners to guarantee a smooth and problem-free delivery.

Ocean Cargo offers specialised project logistics services for intricate shipments involving multiple items, specialised equipment, or unique logistical requirements. We provide a dedicated point of contact to manage all aspects of your shipment, ensuring seamless coordination and proactive communication throughout the process.

Our experienced project managers collaborate closely with you to develop a tailored plan that addresses your specific needs and timelines.

Customs Brokerage: Streamlining Canadian Customs Procedures
