How Much Does it Cost to Ship Rock Crushers?
Transport method: Air freight is the most expensive option compared to ocean or ground
Distance: Transporting rock crushers domestically will be less expensive than shipping it internationally
Associated fees: This includes costs like insurance, permits, customs duties, and other charges
Dimensions and weight: The cost increases with the rock crusher’s weight and size
Seasonality: The final price is impacted by fluctuations between high and low shipping seasons
International Shipping of Rock Crushers
Roll-on-Roll-off (Ro-Ro)
In this shipping method, a rock crusher is driven directly onto the ship and then driven off at the destination
Full-Container Load (FCL)
Your rock crusher shipment gets an entire container to itself. This is a common choice for shipping equipment because of the security and control it provides
Flat Rack
This is an excellent option for shipping cargo, particularly for rock crushers that are oversized or have dimensions that exceed a standard container’s limits
Air Cargo
Although it is a high-cost option, this is the fastest method for transporting machinery or its components
International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Rock Crushers
While country-specific rules vary, the most common regulations include:
- 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)
Rock Crusher Moving Services Across The Country
Flatbed
These trailers offer a basic, open platform for securing and rock crusher hauling
Step-Deck
Lowered rear platform, provides the necessary clearance to transport machinery legally without requiring special permits
RGN
Their key advantage is the ability to haul exceptionally high and heavy loads
Restrictions on Moving Rock Crushers
Moving equipment over long distances comes with restrictions and regulations, such as:
- Road regulations (speed limits, width and height restrictions, road use permits)
- Transport regulations (oversized load permits, escort vehicles, route planning, insurance)
- Additional regulations (seasonal restrictions, weight limits, local regulations)

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We offer both domestic and international shipping services for all types of construction equipment and heavy duty machines. We are specialists in transporting rock crushers, including rock crushing equipment setups, mobile crushers for on site crushing, and large-scale machines for mining operations.
The delivery time for a crusher depends on the distance, transport method (ground, ocean, or air), and specific route. Shipping portable rock crushers to a domestic job site will be much faster than transporting a massive primary gyratory crusher overseas. We provide accurate transit time estimates during the quote process to help you plan your operations.
Yes, we provide comprehensive insurance coverage to protect your high-value equipment during transit. A rock crusher machine, whether it’s a primary jaw crusher or a sophisticated cone crusher, is a major investment. Our policies cover your machine from pickup to delivery, ensuring your assets are protected.
The required documents vary by destination. For international shipments of rock crushing equipment, you will typically need a bill of lading, a commercial invoice, and potentially export/import permits. Our expert team assists with all necessary documentation to ensure your crusher (whether for rock, ore, concrete, or gravel) clears customs without delays.
Yes, we provide full door-to-door pickup and delivery services. We can coordinate the logistics to move your crushers directly from a manufacturer, auction, or active mining job site. We handle all the complexities, including disassembly and reassembly coordination for stationary equipment or transport for mobile crushers.
A rock crusher machine is a piece of heavy equipment designed for size reduction — its purpose is to crush large rocks into smaller pieces, gravel, sand, or a desired size for further processing. This crushing action typically happens in multiple crushing stages:
- Primary crushing: This is the first stage of rock crushing. Large materials and raw materials (like ore or blasted rock) are fed into a primary crusher. The most common types are jaw crushers and gyratory crushers.
- A jaw crusher uses compressive force from two jaws — a fixed jaw and a movable jaw. An eccentric shaft drives the movable jaw (often via a toggle plate), creating the crushing action inside the crushing chamber.
- A gyratory crusher breaks rock by squeezing it between an oscillating main shaft and a concave bowl liner (the outer crushing surfaces).
- Secondary and tertiary crushing: The crushed material from the primary stage, now smaller rocks, is moved by conveyor belt to secondary and tertiary crushing stages for further size reduction.
- Cone crushers are very common for secondary and tertiary crushing. They are similar to gyratory crushers but have a less steep chamber, making them suitable for producing high quality aggregates.
- Impact crushers (like HSI crushers or VSI crushers) use high-speed impact rather than compression. They are excellent for fine crushing and are often used in the final stages (even quaternary crushing) to shape materials like sand or concrete aggregates, often at a lower cost per ton.
