What matters when arranging machinery shipping

With machinery the centre of gravity matters more than the total weight. Many machine tools carry their mass high in the housing and tip under acceleration or braking even though the pallet is nominally rated for the load. Bolt the machine to the pallet deck or a timber frame rather than merely lashing it down.

Moving parts belong locked before transport: slides, spindles, hydraulic cylinders and doors. Otherwise they hammer against their end stops for the whole journey. Drain operating fluids such as oil and coolant beforehand — under vibration they escape even from closed systems. For machines above 1,000 kg or with oversize dimensions, clarify vehicle type and loading method by phone in advance.

For booking we need the weight, the outer dimensions including packaging, the centre of gravity and the unloading situation. Above 1,000 kg or with oversize dimensions we clarify vehicle and loading method individually — a short call is faster than any form here. For machines with a fixed commissioning date, a scheduled delivery is the right choice: otherwise the engineer stands in front of a machine still in transit.

Frequently asked questions about machinery shipping

Do operating fluids need to be drained before transport?
Yes, all operating fluids (oil, hydraulic fluid, coolant) must be completely drained before transport. Fix moving parts, secure cables, mark centre of gravity.
Can heavy CNC machines over 500 kg also be transported?
Yes, we coordinate heavy load transports for machines up to several tonnes. Depending on weight and dimensions semi-trailers, heavy haulage vehicles or special low-loaders are used – enquire in advance.
Do I need special lifting eyes or crane freight forwarders?
For machines over 500 kg lifting eyes or forklift pockets on the machine are necessary. On request we coordinate the use of crane or heavy goods freight forwarders.
Are complete business relocations and machine moves also organised?
Yes, for business relocations we coordinate complete machine transports including dismantling, transport and reassembly at the destination. B2B framework contracts for companies with regular needs.
How is a heavy machine fixed on the pallet?
Machines are fixed on sturdy wooden bases or vibration absorbers and secured with lashing straps. For heavy machines: bolted fixing recommended. Instructions on request.
