Shipping Mining Equipment (Drills, Loaders, Crushers, Conveyors) to Canada
The transportation of substantial machinery for mineral extraction, processing, and conveyance presents considerable logistical challenges. The size and weight of equipment such as drills, loaders, crushers, and conveyors frequently necessitate out-of-gauge (OOG) handling and securement on specialised flat rack containers. Ocean Cargo specialises in overcoming these challenges, ensuring the secure and punctual arrival of your equipment in Canada.
