A boring mill, technically referred to as a boring machine, is engineered to enlarge holes that have previously been drilled or cast. These machines are the backbone of the heavy industry sector, primarily utilized in metalworking to achieve precise diameters and superior finishes. They are particularly vital for machining heavy components and larger workpieces where accuracy is non-negotiable.

The logistics involved in transporting a boring machine can be intricate due to their sheer size and weight. However, Atlantic Project Cargo is dedicated to solving these challenges. We provide dependable, cost-efficient transport services designed to ensure the safe, timely delivery of your valuable equipment. Request your free quote today!

Types of Boring Mills We Ship

As a dedicated freight forwarder, we facilitate the transport of various configurations of this equipment, from modern units to legacy brands.

By Orientation

Horizontal Boring Mills

Horizontal boring machines feature a horizontal spindle, allowing for the machining of large workpieces. These horizontal boring mills are essential for heavy-duty operations.

By Orientation

Vertical

These units possess a vertical spindle, allowing the operator 360-degree access around the workpiece. They are ideal for handling heavy parts with complex geometries.

By Configuration

Floor

Designed for heavy industry, these are typically stationary and built to accommodate massive components. The stationary workpiece rests on floor plates while the column travels.

By Configuration

Table

More compact and versatile, these feature an adjustable table to handle various sizes of workpieces, offering high flexibility in production environments.

By Configuration

Gantry

These utilize a robust gantry structure to support the spindle, enabling the machining of larger pieces and offering extended travel ranges.

Other Type

CNC Computer Numerical Control

CNC mills are equipped with digital systems that automate the machining process, often featuring an automatic tool changer for increased efficiency.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship Boring Machines?

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

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

Distance: Moving a boring machine across the country is generally more economical than transporting it overseas

Additional expenses: These may include insurance premiums, special permits, customs duties, and energy surcharges

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

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

International Shipping of Boring Mills

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

This is a streamlined method of shipping where machinery is driven or towed directly onto and off the vessel

Full-Container Load (FCL)

This implies that the entire container is exclusively reserved for your shipment. It is a favored choice for shipping precision equipment components to ensure they stay dry and secure

Flat Rack

An excellent choice for transporting machines, particularly those that are oversized or have dimensions exceeding standard container limits

Air Cargo

The most rapid method for shipping a boring mill or its critical parts, though it comes at a higher cost

International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Boring Mills

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

  • Export control: Adherence to ITAR, EAR, and similar frameworks
  • Import regulations: Payment of tariffs & duties, adherence to 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

Boring Machine Moving Services Across The Country

Flatbed

These trailers provide a foundational, open platform for securing and hauling boring mills efficiently

Step-Deck

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

RGN (Removable Gooseneck)

The most significant benefit of RGN trailers is their capacity to accommodate high loads and extremely heavy production equipment

Restrictions on Moving Boring Mills

Moving equipment 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
