Home Services Heavy Machinery & Industrial Equipment Shipping Welding Equipment Transport Services

Welding equipment encompasses the specialized machinery and welding tools utilized to join materials, primarily metals or thermoplastics, through the process of melting and fusing. From construction to automotive repair, welding is a critical process that demands reliable machinery. Whether you are tackling your next welding project at home or managing a large industrial fabrication shop, having the right welder on site is essential.

Shipping welding machines can be logistically complex due to the sensitive electronics and the weight of the units. However, Atlantic Project Cargo is dedicated to assisting you. We offer dependable transport services to ensure the safe and timely delivery of your cargo.

Types of Welding Machines We Ship

As a dedicated freight forwarder, we transport different types of these machines, covering major brands like Lincoln Electric, Miller, and Hobart. We handle everything from basic units to high-end welding supplies.

Metal Inert Gas (MIG Welders)

MIG welders utilize a continuous solid wire electrode fed through a welding gun and into the weld pool, joined by shielding gas. MIG welding is versatile and easy to learn, making it a popular choice for steel fabrication.

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG Welders)

TIG welders use a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. TIG welding requires a higher level of skill but offers precise control, making it ideal for thin metals like aluminum and for critical applications.

Shielded Metal Arc (Stick Welders)

Stick welders leverage an electric current flowing from a gap between the metal and the arc welding electrode. Stick welding is known for its simplicity and ability to work on dirty or rusty metal, often used in outdoor situations.

Flux-Cored Arc (FCAW)

These are similar to MIG but use a tubular wire filled with flux. This protects the weld pool without the need for external gas, allowing it to handle thick materials and windy conditions safely.

Submerged Arc (SAW)

Operate by creating an electric arc beneath a blanket of granular flux. This increases efficiency and reduces smoke and spatter, ideal for long, straight welds.

Electron Beam (EBW)

Utilize a high-velocity beam of electrons to generate heat and weld materials in a vacuum, providing deep penetration.

Laser Beam (LBW)

Use focused laser light to melt the material, allowing for precise control and minimal heat-affected zones.

Robotic

Automated systems that use robots to perform welding tasks, increasing consistency and speed in manufacturing environments.

Plasma Cutters

Used for cutting metal by utilizing a high-velocity jet of ionized gas (plasma), a standard addition to many fabrication shops.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Welding Machine?

While there is no universal price, 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: 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 resources needed for packaging

Size and Weight: The heavier the cargo and the larger the unit, the higher the shipping expense

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

International Shipping of Welding Machines

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

This is a streamlined method of shipping where equipment 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 welding supplies and machines to ensure they meet arrival deadlines without damage

Flat Rack

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

Air Cargo

The fastest method for transporting welding equipment or its critical parts, though it comes at a higher cost

International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Welding Machines

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 (especially if shipping compressed gas cylinders), weight and dimensions restrictions, and insurance
  • Technical standards: Variances in safety standards, emissions, and voltage requirements (ensure the power supply matches the destination)

Welding Equipment Moving Services Across The Country

Flatbed

These trailers provide a foundational, open platform for securing and hauling welding 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 large industrial skids

Restrictions on Moving Welding Equipment

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
