Home Services Heavy Machinery & Industrial Equipment Shipping Dragline Excavator Transport Services

A dragline excavator is a formidable piece of heavy-duty machinery utilized for massive excavation and material handling projects. It operates using a bucket that is suspended from a boom and is dragged across the ground to scoop up material. From surface mining to civil engineering, these machines are critical.

Transporting a dragline excavator presents unique logistical hurdles due to its immense dimensions, but Atlantic Project Cargo is equipped to assist. We offer reliable shipping services to ensure the safe and timely delivery of your mining equipment! Request your free quote today!

Types of Dragline Excavators We Ship

As a dedicated freight forwarder, we facilitate the transport of different types of these machines, from smaller machines to components of the largest machines ever built.

Standard / Crawler Mounted

These utilize tracks for mobility. A crawler-mounted dragline is versatile and often used for digging ditches, ponds, and foundations. The first crawler models revolutionized the dragline market.

On-Site / Walking Dragline

These massive machines, often referred to as a walking dragline, feature a walking mechanism and are built to stay on-site. They are effective for larger projects, like a very large coal mine or the central Ohio coal company operations.

Hydraulic Dragline Excavators

Unlike the traditional cable-operated units, hydraulic dragline excavators offer distinct advantages in specific mining operations.

Power Source Variants

We handle both electric and gasoline engine-powered dragline units, ensuring the right power source logistical needs are met for power consumption planning.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Dragline?

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: Travelling medium distances across the country is generally more economical than shipping equipment overseas

Additional expenses: These may include insurance premiums, special permits, customs duties, and fees for heavy units.

Size and Weight: The heavier the machinery (consider the immense weight of a dragline bucket), the higher the shipping expense

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

International Shipping of Dragline Excavators

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

This is a streamlined method of shipping where machinery is driven 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 disassembled mining equipment components

Flat Rack

An excellent choice for transporting machines, particularly those that are oversized or have dimensions exceeding standard container limits, such as a large dragline bucket system

Air Cargo

The most rapid method for transporting a dragline or its critical parts, though it comes at a higher cost

International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Draglines

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
Phytosanitary certificates: Mandatory for machinery if it interacts with the ground (soil on a typical bucket or tracks) and is transported to Australia or New Zealand

Dragline Excavator Moving Services Across The Country

Flatbed

These trailers provide a foundational, open platform for securing and hauling dragline excavators 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

The most significant benefit of RGN trailers is their capacity to accommodate high loads and larger draglines

Restrictions on Moving a Dragline

Moving equipment over extended distances involves various restrictions and regulations, including:

Road regulations: Adherence to maximum speed, 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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you ship dragline excavators internationally?

Yes, we provide extensive industrial equipment shipping services both domestically and internationally. We serve mining sites globally, from coal mining regions to civil engineering projects.

How long does it take to ship a machine?

The total transit time is contingent upon the distance, the selected shipping method, and any potential delays. We provide precise estimated delivery times during the quote process so you can plan your mining operations.

Do you offer insurance for dragline shipping?

Absolutely. We offer comprehensive insurance coverage to protect your machinery during transit. Given the value of modern machines and components like the dragline bucket system, proper coverage is essential.

What documents are required for dragline transport?

Documentation requirements fluctuate based on the shipping destination. Typically, you will need a bill of lading, a commercial invoice, and potentially export/import permits. Our team includes experts who can assist you with compiling the necessary documentation.

Can I arrange for pickup and delivery of my machine?

Yes, we offer complete door-to-door pickup and delivery services for your convenience. We can handle the logistics from the engineering company to the mine site.

How do you handle the transport of extremely large buckets?

For an arched dragline bucket or archless bucket design, we often utilize specialized heavy-haul trailers. If the bucket assembly is too large for road transport, we may arrange for on-site disassembly or bucket assembly horizontally for transport.

Can you transport historical or massive machines like the Big Muskie components?

While the original Big Muskie was the largest machine of its kind, we have the capability to move components of similar scale. We handle heavy units like drainage pumping engines, large stripping shovels, and lifting cranes by breaking them down into manageable loads.
