Industrial & Machinery Logistics Heavy Equipment, Project Cargo
Industrial machinery logistics — oversized equipment, flat rack containers, and heavy-lift shipping. Project cargo expertise by Suaid Global.
Heavy machinery demands specialized expertise
Industrial and machinery logistics handle oversized loads, heavy equipment, and specialized handling requirements. Breakbulk, project cargo, heavy-lift, and multi-modal transport demand expertise. We coordinate complex multi-supplier shipments with precision engineering and specialized equipment.
Project Cargo & OOG Expertise
Out-of-gauge (OOG) machinery on flatracks, open-top containers, and breakbulk vessels. Custom lashings, engineering calculations, and pre-shipment surveys for every oversized piece of equipment.
Pre-Shipment Dimensional Surveys
Weight and dimensional verification at origin before booking. Route feasibility studies for inland transport — ensuring your equipment fits under every bridge and through every port gate.
Origin Stuffing Coordination
On-site coordination at the factory for loading oversized equipment into containers. Crane and rigging supervision, blocking and bracing engineering, and lashing certification before departure.
ATA Carnet & Specialized Documentation
ATA Carnets for temporary equipment imports, re-importation certificates, heavy-lift permits for port operations, and CE/UL certification documentation for US equipment compliance.

Industry-specific risks we neutralize through proactive planning, documentation, and partner coordination.
Oversized Equipment Routing
Not all ports accept OOG cargo. Inland routes with bridge height and weight restrictions must be surveyed in advance. A single route error can strand million-dollar machinery indefinitely.
Port Crane & Heavy-Lift Availability
Heavy-lift cargo requires specific crane capacity at origin and destination ports. Scheduling conflicts delay entire project timelines. We pre-book heavy-lift slots weeks in advance.
Temporary Import & ATA Carnet
Machinery sent to the US for trade shows, testing, or temporary use requires ATA Carnets. Failure to re-export within the carnet window triggers full duty assessment plus penalties.
Multi-Origin Equipment Assembly
Production lines come from Germany, Italy, Japan, and the US simultaneously. Synchronized delivery to the installation site is critical — even one missing component halts the entire line commissioning.

Can you ship oversized industrial machinery?
Yes. We handle oversized and heavy-lift machinery including CNC machines, presses, turbines, and production lines. We arrange flat racks, open tops, breakbulk, and specialized inland transport with route surveys and permits.
How do you handle machinery with residual oils or fluids?
Equipment with residual fluids may require IMDG-compliant shipping. We coordinate draining, cleaning, and certification when possible, or arrange proper DG handling and documentation for equipment shipped with fluids.
Do you offer installation-site delivery?
Yes. We provide white-glove delivery to the installation site including rigging, crane operations, and positioning. We coordinate with your installation team to ensure equipment arrives on the right day in the right sequence.
What about spare parts logistics for machinery?
Our partner network provides spare parts inventory management and emergency parts shipping — including 24/7 air freight for critical production-stopping parts. Our warehouses stock frequently needed spares for immediate dispatch.
How do you insure high-value machinery during transport?
We provide All Risk cargo insurance covering full replacement value, including coverage during loading, transit, and unloading operations. For complex moves, we arrange surveyor presence at origin and destination.
