A forage harvester, often referred to as a silage harvester, is a critical piece of farm equipment designed to reap, collect, and chop crops into high-quality feed for livestock. This machinery serves as the cornerstone of efficient hay and silage production, ensuring top-quality forage is available year-round.
 
However, transporting such heavy-duty equipment to the field or across borders can present a significant logistical challenge. Atlantic Project Cargo is at your service, offering specialized assistance with machinery transport, with a specific focus on forage harvester shipping.

Types of Silage Harvesters We Ship

As a dedicated forage harvester freight forwarder, we facilitate the transport of various different types of machines. Whether you are shipping used models or the latest Claas forage harvesters, we handle the following configurations:

Self-Propelled

These are substantial, high-value machines equipped with their own propulsion system. They are typically utilized in large-scale commercial farming operations to maximize output.

Trailed

These units connect to a separate vehicle for propulsion, usually a tractor. They operate via a shaft drive and are generally smaller and more cost-effective than self-propelled versions.

Mounted

Attached directly to the tractor, these units are powered by the tractor’s engine and are designed for convenience and maneuverability.

Precision Chop

Engineered to deliver a specific chop length, these harvesters ensure excellent chop quality, which is essential for specific livestock feed requirements and kernel processors.

Drum

Featuring a set of rotating drums that cut and collect the forage, these are commonly found in small to medium-sized farming operations.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Forage Harvester?

While there is no single fixed rate, we can outline the primary factors that influence the final cost of silage harvester shipping:

Mode of transportation: Air charters command a higher price point compared to ocean or ground transportation options

Distance: Transporting a silage harvester across the country is generally more economical than shipping equipment overseas

Additional expenses: These may include insurance premiums, special offers on permits, customs duties, and related fees

Size and Weight: The heavier the machinery and the larger the working width, the higher the shipping expense

Season: The shipping industry experiences high and low seasons, which directly impact the final cost

International Shipping of Forage Harvester

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

This is a streamlined method of shipping where vehicles, such as self propelled forage harvesters, are driven directly onto and off the vessel

Full-Container Load (FCL)

This implies that the entire container is exclusively reserved for your harvester shipment. It is a favored choice for shipping this machinery due to the high level of protection and control it provides

Flat Rack

An excellent choice for shipping silage harvesters, particularly those that are oversized or have dimensions exceeding standard container limits (e.g., wide cutterhead assemblies)

Air Cargo

The most rapid method for transporting machines or their critical parts, such as knives or kernels processors, though it comes at a higher cost

International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Silage Harvesters

Regulations vary significantly by nation, but the most common requirements include:

  • Export control: Adherence to ITAR, EAR, and similar frameworks
  • Import regulations: Tariffs & duties, non-tariff barriers, safety standards, and customs clearance procedures
  • Transport regulations: Accurate shipping documentation, dangerous goods protocols, weight and dimensions restrictions, and insurance mandates
  • Technical standards: Variances in safety standards, emissions, and noise regulations (e.g., RPM limits)
  • Phytosanitary certificates: Mandatory for forage harvesters to prevent the spread of pests and diseases (equipment must be free of soil, corn, sorghum, or grass residue)

Forage Harvester Moving Services Across The Country

Flatbed

These trailers provide a foundational, open platform for securing and hauling forage harvesters efficiently

Step-Deck

Featuring a lowered rear platform, this trailer type offers the necessary clearance to transport a silage harvester legally without necessitating special height permits

RGN (Removable Gooseneck)

The most significant benefit of RGN trailers is their capacity to accommodate tall loads and heavy build equipment with ease

Restrictions on Moving Silage Harvester

Transporting machinery over extended distances involves various restrictions and regulations, including:

  • Road regulations: Adherence to speed limits, width and height restrictions, and road use permits
  • Transport regulations: Requirements for oversized load permits, escort vehicles, precise route planning, and liability insurance
  • Additional regulations: Seasonal travel restrictions, weight limits per axle, and specific local municipal regulations
