Shipping Excavators and Diggers to the United Arab Emirates

Transporting heavy machinery, such as excavators and diggers, to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) requires specialised logistics solutions. These machines are essential for construction, landscaping, and infrastructure projects. Their size and weight often exceed standard container dimensions, demanding expert handling. Ocean Cargo provides tailored services to ensure the secure and efficient arrival of your equipment, minimising any disruption to your project timelines.

Tailored Shipping Solutions for the UAE

Selecting the optimal shipping method depends on several key factors. Delivery deadlines are critical; expedited timelines may necessitate air freight, despite the increased cost. Conversely, larger, heavier equipment typically benefits from the cost-effectiveness of ocean freight, albeit with longer transit times. Budgetary considerations also play a significant role. Our team conducts a thorough assessment of these factors to recommend the most appropriate transport strategy, balancing speed, cost, and security.

Expertise in Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Cargo

Excavators and diggers frequently qualify as out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo due to their extended arms, buckets, and other protruding components. This requires specialised handling and transportation. Standard containers are often unsuitable. We offer expertise in OOG cargo management, utilising flat rack containers that provide the necessary space and flexibility to accommodate your equipment securely. Our skilled team employs advanced lashing and securing techniques, ensuring your valuable machinery arrives in optimal condition.

Secure Flat Rack Container Transportation

Flat rack containers offer a robust and adaptable solution for OOG cargo. Their open-top design facilitates easy loading and unloading of oversized or unusually shaped equipment. We meticulously plan the placement and securing of your excavator or digger within the container, using high-quality lashing materials and techniques designed to withstand the demands of international shipping. Our commitment to safety ensures your investment is protected throughout transit.
