Machine Preparation Prior to Shipping

Before collection or dispatch, machines may be prepared for transportation by

Securing moving components

Before shipment, all movable machine components are carefully secured to minimize movement during transportation. Machine tables, spindles, tool changers, tailstocks, slides, guards, doors, and other moving parts are locked, braced, or restrained using appropriate transport fixtures and securing methods. This helps protect the machine from vibration, impact, and potential damage while in transit.

Disconnecting Power Supplies Where Required

Where necessary, machinery is professionally prepared for transportation by disconnecting power supplies, electrical connections, and ancillary equipment. Cables, control units, and removable accessories may be secured separately to prevent damage during handling and shipping. This preparation helps ensure safe transportation and simplifies the loading process.

Preparing Machinery for Container Loading or Flat-Rack Shipping

Machines destined for international transport may require specific preparation depending on the selected shipping method. For containerized shipments, machinery is positioned and secured to maximize safety and space efficiency within the container. For oversized equipment that cannot fit into standard containers, flat-rack or breakbulk shipping arrangements may be used, with specialized securing and lashing methods applied to meet carrier and port requirements.

Option 2: Customer Arranged Collection

Customers are welcome to organize their own transportation and collection arrangements.

If you choose this option:

  • Your carrier or freight forwarder can collect the machine directly from the loading location.
  • Collection dates and times must be scheduled in advance.
  • The buyer is responsible for all transportation costs, customs procedures, permits, insurance, and documentation required after collection.
  • The buyer must ensure that the selected transport vehicle is suitable for the machine's dimensions and weight.

Our team will cooperate with your nominated logistics provider to facilitate collection where possible.

Loading Services

  • Loading assistance may be available at the machine's location.

    Important Notice Regarding Loading Fees

    Loading fees are not always included in the machine price or shipping quotation.

    Loading costs can vary significantly depending on:

    • Machine weight
    • Machine dimensions
    • Loading equipment required
    • Availability of cranes, forklifts, or lifting personnel
    • Site accessibility
    • Seller's location and local handling requirements

    Customers must inquire about applicable loading fees before confirming their purchase or arranging transportation. Loading charges may differ from one loading point to another and will be quoted separately when necessary.

Packaging & Export Packing

Certain machines may require special packaging or export preparation before shipment.

Additional services may include:

  • Wooden crates
  • Export-grade packaging
  • Moisture protection
  • Vacuum packing
  • Corrosion protection
  • Container securing and lashing
  • Heavy machinery transport frames

Any special packing requirements will be quoted separately if requested or required.

Shipping Insurance

Once machinery has been collected or shipped, claims relating to visible condition issues may be limited.

  • Providing accurate delivery information
