Types of Industrial Compressors We Ship

As a dedicated freight forwarder, we transport different types of this essential equipment. We handle the full range of models, including:

Reciprocating

These units utilize a piston driven by a crankshaft to compress air, known for their high-pressure capabilities.

Centrifugal

Featuring a rotating disk or impeller, these machines increase air velocity, which is subsequently converted into pressure for high-flow applications.

Diaphragm

Equipped with a flexible diaphragm, these are utilized for applications requiring high purity and low contamination.

Rotary Screw

These compressors use two interlocking helical screws to ensure optimal performance. They are designed to operate for long periods without interruption, making them a best solution for continuous use.

Rotary Scroll

These are equipped with two spiral-shaped scrolls. One scroll remains fixed while the other orbits around it, creating quiet pockets of compressed air.

Rotary Vane

These feature a rotor with sliding vanes that move in and out as the rotor turns, creating efficient compression.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship an Industrial Compressor?

While there is no universal price tag, we can outline the variables that affect the cost of shipping:

Mode of transportation: Air charters are significantly more expensive than ocean or ground transportation methods

Distance: Shipping an industrial compressor across the country is generally less expensive than transporting it overseas

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

Size and Weight: The heavier the cargo and the larger the CFM capacity, the higher the cost

Season: The shipping industry fluctuates between high and low seasons, which affects the final cost

International Shipping of Air Compressors

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

This is a method of shipping where mobile equipment is driven or towed directly onto and off a ship

Full-Container Load (FCL)

This means the entire container is dedicated to your shipment. It is a popular choice for shipping sensitive equipment due to the protection and control it offers against the elements

Flat Rack

An excellent choice for transporting equipment, especially units that are oversized or have dimensions exceeding standard container limits

Air Cargo

The fastest method for transporting an air compressor or its critical parts, but it involves a high cost

International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Air Compressors

Regulations vary from country to country, but the common mandates include:

  • Export control: Compliance with ITAR, EAR, and related laws
  • Import regulations: Payment of tariffs & duties, adherence to non-tariff barriers, safety standards, and customs clearance
  • Transport regulations: Proper shipping documentation, dangerous goods regulations (especially for pressurized vessels), weight and dimensions restrictions, and insurance
  • Technical standards: Differences in safety standards, emissions, and noise regulations (often relevant for diesel-driven models)

Industrial Compressor Moving Services Across The Country

Flatbed

These trailers offer a basic, open platform for securing and hauling air compressors efficiently

Step-Deck

Featuring a lowered rear platform, this provides the necessary clearance to transport machinery legally without requiring special height permits

RGN

Their most significant advantage is the ability to carry high loads and massive industrial units safely

Restrictions on Moving Industrial Compressors

Moving equipment over long distances comes with specific restrictions and regulations, such as:

  • Road regulations: Compliance with speed limits, width and height restrictions, and road use permits
  • Transport regulations: Requirements for oversized load permits, escort vehicles, careful route planning, and insurance
  • Additional regulations: Seasonal travel restrictions, weight limits, and local regulations
