International Shipping of Milking Machines
Roll-on-Roll-off (Ro-Ro)
A shipping method where equipment is driven onto the ship under its own power (or towed) and driven off at its destination, eliminating the need for cranes
Full-Container Load (FCL)
With this option, we reserve an entire container exclusively for your milking machinery. It’s the standard for security and protection, as your cargo is sealed from origin to destination
Flat Rack
A specialized, open-top and open-sided container, perfect for hauling oversized, heavy, or awkwardly shaped cargo that won’t fit in a standard enclosed container
Air Cargo
By far the fastest shipping solution, air cargo is ideal for urgent machinery or critical spare parts, though it comes at a significant cost premium
