Another alternative is to use a standard container as shown below. Shipping heavy equipment overseas by using a container ship is a popular way to cut costs. Many people in Europe and Africa ship heavy equipment from the US using containers.

 

If it is possible to partially dismantle the equipment, it can often be placed in a 40 foot or 40 HC container. This can be done by a professional export packing warehouse. While there is a cost to dismantle and reassemble the equipment, the savings of using this method can often be your best value. Another advantage is to consider the savings of import duty. It is often declared as waived for what is frequently declared as “parts” rather than a fully assembled piece of equipment.

Container shipping is often the most economical way to ship heavy equipment internationally.
