Shipping Forklifts to Colombia: A Streamlined Process

Transporting industrial forklifts, essential for operations in warehouses, factories, and ports, demands meticulous planning and precise execution. Ocean Cargo provides expert freight forwarding services, ensuring the secure and timely arrival of your valuable material handling equipment in Colombia. We manage the complexities of the shipping process, allowing you to concentrate on your core business activities.

Selecting the Optimal Shipping Method for Your Forklifts

The most suitable shipping strategy depends on several key variables: budgetary constraints, delivery time sensitivity, and the size and quantity of forklifts being transported. We offer bespoke solutions utilising sea freight, air freight, or a combination of both, providing the adaptability to meet your specific requirements. Our specialists evaluate your unique circumstances and recommend the most efficient and cost-effective approach.

Sea Freight: A Cost-Effective Solution

Sea freight presents an economically advantageous option, particularly for larger forklifts or shipments involving multiple units. Many forklifts can be accommodated within standard containers (FCL), a highly efficient method. However, oversized or irregularly shaped forklifts may necessitate securement on flat rack containers. Our team expertly manages all facets of this process, from initial booking to final delivery, ensuring the security of your equipment throughout its transit. We handle all required documentation and liaise with port authorities to facilitate a seamless transition.
