Home Services Agricultural Equipment Shipping Gravity Wagon Transport Services

A gravity wagon, frequently referred to as a slant wagon or gravity box, is an angled hopper-style trailer that relies on gravity to unload its contents efficiently. Typically mounted on a heavy-duty running gear, it is the workhorse for moving bulk materials such as fertilizer or high-moisture grain. Whether you are working the field in IA (Iowa) or transporting feed in MN (Minnesota), these grain wagons are essential.

Transporting this agricultural tool can be logistically complex, but Atlantic Project Cargo is at your service. We offer competitive pricing, quick delivery, and superior customer care! Request your free quote today!

Types of Gravity Wagons We Ship

As a dedicated gravity wagon freight forwarder, we transport different types of this equipment, from classic green John Deere models to red Parker units.

By Size

Small

These typically hold around 200-300 bushels. They often feature a single-compartment design and are ideal for smaller operations or getting into tight spaces.

By Size

Standard

Basic types that hold up to 750 bushels. Known for their reliable performance, these often come equipped with a ladder and viewing windows to monitor the load.

By Size

Large

Designed for high-quantity material handling. Their bushel capacity often exceeds 1,000 bushels. These units are built with steep end slopes to ensure complete unloading of hopper contents.

Other Types

Tandem

These units feature a rear hitch, allowing them to be connected to increase total capacity and facilitate the transportation of larger quantities of materials in one trip.

Other Types

Side Dump

Have the capability to unload their contents from the side using a chute or wheel-operated unloading door, providing flexibility during harvest.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Gravity Wagon?

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 fees for optional attachments

Size and Weight: The heavier the farm equipment and the larger the box, the higher the shipping expense

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

International Shipping of Slant Wagons

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 equipment shipment. It is a favored choice for shipping disassembled farm tools to ensure they remain silicone-sealed and dry

Flat Rack

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

Air Cargo

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

International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Gravity Wagons

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.
  • Technical standards: Variances in safety standards (e.g., rear surge brake requirements)
  • Phytosanitary certificates: Mandatory for farm equipment to prevent pests and diseases. The chute and box must be free of all grain residue

Gravity Wagon Moving Services Across The Country

Flatbed

These trailers provide a foundational, open platform for securing and hauling gravity wagons efficiently

Step-Deck

Featuring a lowered rear platform, this trailer type offers the necessary clearance to transport equipment 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 model years

Restrictions on Moving Gravity Wagons

Moving farm 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
