Shipping agricultural equipment internationally can be a daunting task โ€” the size of the parts, the expense, the complexity of regulations, and finding transport options that fit within your budget โ€“ but it doesnโ€™t have to be!ย 

We understand the challenges of the import or export of farm equipment, so if you need to move your tractor, harvester, or other essential equipment across borders or the US โ€“ we are here to help!ย 

WHAT FARM & AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT WE CAN TRANSPORT INTERNATIONALLY?

Draper Platforms
Headers/Cutting
Forage Harvesters
Tillage Equipment
Seeders
Planters
Cotton Pickers
Sprayers
Grain Trailers
Grain Carts
Windrowers
Combine Harvesters
Balers
Tractors

The types of farm machinery and equipment we ship include but are not limited to:

 

  • Tractors
    Also known as a farm tractor, it is a self-propelled wheeled or tracked vehicle specifically designed for agricultural operations.
  • Combine Harvesters
    A self-propelled agricultural machine designed to efficiently harvest grain crops in a single, continuous operation.
  • Forage Harvesters
    Designed to mechanically harvest and process forage crops. Forage harvesters often work in conjunction with silage blowers to efficiently load chopped forage into storage structures for preservation as silage.
  • Windrowers
    Utilized for mechanically cutting hay or small grain crops and depositing them in windrows for subsequent drying. Windrowers promote even drying of the crop by creating an ideal surface area for air circulation.
  • Cotton Pickers
    A specialized mechanized agricultural machine used to harvest cotton fibers from bolls. These machines mechanically remove the entire cotton boll from the plant, separating the fibers from the bolls during a later ginning process.
  • Sprayers
    Designed to apply liquids or gaseous formulations in a controlled manner to crops, soil, or livestock.
  • Balers
    Designed to compress loose crop materials, such as hay, straw, or silage, into tightly bound bales for efficient storage, transportation, and utilization.
  • Spreaders
    Used to distribute loose materials such as fertilizers, seeds, lime, or manure onto soil surfaces in a controlled and uniform manner.
  • Draper platforms
    An integrated seeding solution designed for John Deere planters, has the innovative John Deere ExactApplyโ„ข metering system and a Draper row unit platform.
  • Headers
    A specialized attachment on a combine harvester specifically designed to sever mature grain crops at ground level and channel the harvested material into the threshing unit for further processing.
  • Tillage Equipment
    A diverse group of specialized implements utilized for the mechanical manipulation of soil in preparation for planting crops. Some common types of tillage equipment are moldboard plows, disc harrows, cultivators, and tillers.
  • Seeders
    Used for the precise placement of seeds at a predetermined depth and spacing within a prepared seedbed.
  • Grain Trailers
    Bulk hauling vehicles specifically designed for the efficient transportation of harvested grain crops from fields to storage facilities or processing plants.

Atlantic Project Cargo provides long-haul delivery transport for farm & agricultural equipment listed above, and other shipping methods. Additionally, we offer international export shipping of agricultural machinery.ย 

HANDLING OF AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT SHIPPING

The agricultural equipment requires special handling and customs clearance to guarantee safe passage across the globe. Heavy machinery and equipment used for agricultural applications usually wonโ€™t fit inside a standard ISO shipping container. This means you may need custom out-of-gauge shipping solutions to protect your goods during transit.
Another option to consider when shipping agricultural equipment internationally is Roll On, Roll Off (Ro-Ro) shipping. Self-propelled equipment like tractors and harvesters enables carriers to drive the vehicle onto the shipping vessel deck, which is secured for transport without a container.

While these processes may take some extra effort, agricultural companies can broaden their market reach beyond their local regions to grow their business.
