How Much Does it Cost to Ship Mining Machinery?
Mode of transportation: Air charters command a higher price point compared to ocean or ground transportation options
Distance: Shipping equipment across the country is generally more economical than transporting it overseas
Additional expenses: These may include insurance premiums, special permits, customs duties, and fees for complex loads
Size and Weight: The heavier the machinery and the larger the capacity, the higher the shipping expense
Season: The shipping industry experiences high and low seasons, which directly impact the final cost
International Shipping of Heavy Machinery
Roll-on-Roll-off (Ro-Ro)
This is a streamlined method of shipping where machinery, such as trucks and loaders, 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 technology components due to the protection and control it provides
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 transporting equipment or its parts, though it comes at a higher cost
International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Heavy Mining Equipment
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 (vital for sustainable operations)
- Phytosanitary certificates: Mandatory for machinery if it interacts with the ground and is transported to Australia or New Zealand
Mining Machinery Moving Services Across The Country
Flatbed
These trailers provide a foundational, open platform for securing and hauling mining equipment 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 productive heavy iron
Restrictions on Moving Mining Equipment
Moving 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
