How Much Does it Cost to Ship Cold Planers?

A set price isn't possible, when it comes to cold planer shipping, but here are the key factors that influence the final cost:

Transport method: Air freight is more expensive than shipping a cold planer by ocean or ground.

Distance: Shipping cold planers across the country will be less costly than transporting it overseas.

 

Additional expenses: These include insurance, special permits, customs duties, and so on.

Size and weight: The cost increases with the weight and dimensions of the cold planer.

Season: Shipping has peak and off-peak seasons, which will influence the final price.

International Shipping of Cold Milling Machines

Roll-on-Roll-off (Ro-Ro)

A shipping method where wheeled cold planer is driven onto the vessel for transport and driven off at the destination.

Full-Container Load (FCL)

This gives you exclusive use of an entire container for your cold planer. It’s a preferred option for shipping a cold planer overseas, offering maximum security and protection.

Flat Rack

An ideal solution for shipping equipment, particularly cold planers that are oversized or won’t fit within the dimensions of a standard container.

Air Cargo

The quickest way to transport equipment or necessary parts, although it is the most expensive option.

International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Cold Planers

Although rules differ for specific countries, the most common ones are:

  • Export control (ITAR, EAR, and so on)
  • Import regulations (tariffs & duties, non-tariff barriers, safety standards, customs clearance)
  • Transport regulations (shipping documentation, dangerous goods regulations, weight and dimensions restrictions, insurance and others)
  • Technical standards (differences in safety standards, emissions, and noise regulations)
  • Phytosanitary certificates (required for machinery if it interacts with the ground and is transported to Australia or New Zealand)

Restrictions on Moving Cold Milling Machines

  • Road regulations (speed limits, width and height restrictions, road use permits)

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We are specialists in shipping a wide variety of construction equipment both domestically and internationally. We transport all models of heavy machinery, including all sizes of cold planers, from small utility machines to large models built for high production projects.

The transit time depends on the distance, the shipping method (ground, ocean, or air), and the specific route. We know that on-site delays are costly, reducing your productivity and the tons of material your trucks can move each hour. That’s why we provide accurate shipping estimates during the quote process, helping you plan your shift and get your job done faster.

Yes, we offer comprehensive insurance coverage to protect your high-value machinery. A cold planer is a significant investment, packed with valuable components designed for long wear life and powerful performance. Our insurance protects your asset, from its complex rotors and integrated technology to its simple controls, ensuring it arrives safely.

The required documents vary significantly by destination. Generally, you’ll need a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and potentially export/import permits. Our team provides full support to navigate these requirements. We handle all the paperwork, including calculations for duties and taxes, ensuring your machine (whether from a dealer or a job site) avoids costly regulatory obstacles and customs delays.

Yes, we provide full door-to-door service. We can pick up your machine from any place, including active urban job sites, rental yards, or auction houses. Our logistics team plans the entire route, managing challenges like navigating around manholes, power lines, or other obstacles to ensure a safe and efficient pickup and delivery.

A cold planer (or milling machine) is a piece of heavy equipment used to remove the surface layer of a paved area, typically asphalt. It delivers efficient and powerful performance by using a large, rotating drum (or rotor) covered in cutting tools to grind the pavement material to precise depths.

This process creates an efficient material flow as the milled asphalt is moved via conveyor, and it leaves a textured, level surface ready for a new overlay.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but milling is the general action of grinding a material. Cold planing specifically refers to this process being done without heating the pavement first. Both describe the same job: achieving high milling precision to remove tons of asphalt.

The results are a prepared surface that allows a new layer of asphalt to properly bond, and our variety of transport options ensures you get your machine to the job site to match your project’s needs.
