Mastering over-dimensional, heavy-lift, Ro-Ro, and Breakbulk shipping across China, the U.S., Mexico, Panama, and Venezuela.
Out-of-Gauge Freight at Contract Rates
Flat Rack, Open Top, and Breakbulk ocean vessel space secured through carrier volume contracts.
Miami FTZ: Duty-Free Staging
Store heavy construction assets in Miami without paying import duties until final domestic sale or LATAM export.
Moving over-dimensional machinery, mining excavators, cranes, and industrial infrastructure requires rigorous risk engineering, precise equipment selection, and seamless multimodal execution. Explore our specialized transport options designed for global buyers.
The premier method for drivable, towable, or static equipment mounted on roll trailers (mafi trailers), eliminating port crane charges.
For oversized cargo exceeding standard container dimensions in height or width while remaining within container vessel slot allowances.
Engineered ocean freight solutions for super-heavy machinery, pressure vessels, and industrial skids exceeding container vessel lift capacities.
Over-the-road drayage utilizing specialized multi-axle trailers to transport heavy machinery from port terminals to job sites.
Heavy Equipment Cargo Transportation demands zero-defect logistics planning. A single documentation error or improper lashing point calculation can result in thousands of dollars in port demurrage, structural damage, or customs holds. ShipLilly integrates ocean chartering, heavy haul drayage, licensed U.S. customs brokerage, and Foreign Trade Zone operations under a single point of accountability.
We leverage high-volume ocean contracts across major alliances to secure guaranteed deck space, flat rack equipment, and breakbulk vessel slots at competitive rates.
Importers can store, inspect, and re-assemble heavy machinery in our secure Miami FTZ facility while completely deferring U.S. Customs duties and Section 301 tariffs until domestic release.
With dedicated offices and bilingual (English/Spanish) logistics coordinators across Miami, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, and China, we manage origin load inspections and destination customs seamlessly.
As global infrastructure investments accelerate and supply chains undergo structural shifts, procurement leaders must adapt to emerging technology, environmental regulations, and nearshoring patterns.
Global machinery buyers are increasingly evaluated on Scope 3 carbon emissions. Ocean carriers are deploying dual-fuel LNG and methanol Ro-Ro vessels, while heavy haul motor carriers adopt bio-diesel and electric heavy-duty drayage trucks. Transport providers must now deliver validated carbon intensity reports alongside freight invoices.
Get Green Logistics GuideTo minimize high-cost field labor at remote mining and construction sites, buyers are purchasing pre-assembled, modular industrial skids rather than loose components. This shifts cargo profile from standard containerized goods to extreme Out-of-Gauge (OOG) and Breakbulk dimensions, requiring early-stage engineering consultation.
Get Modular Transport SpecsWith manufacturing expanding in Mexico and industrial hubs in Panama serving as re-distribution bases for South America, heavy equipment sourcing is shifting. Procurement officers require logistics partners capable of handling complex cross-border drayage, bonded transit, and FTZ staging across North and South America.
Get Nearshoring AnalysisEngineering advancements in heavy equipment manufacturing and specialized transport gear are redefining ocean and highway safety standards.
Smart monitoring during transit
Modern project cargo transport utilizes IoT-enabled impact sensors, tilt indicators, and strain gauges attached to high-value heavy machinery. Shippers receive live telemetry alerting them to dynamic force shifts, moisture levels, or g-force spikes during ocean voyage pitching and rolling.
Zero-risk clearance verification
Before an over-dimensional heavy haul trailer hits the road, 3D LiDAR laser scans of the cargo are merged with GIS route elevation data. This identifies bridge clearance bottlenecks, tight turning radii, and overhead utility line obstructions days before physical dispatch.
Connecting key heavy machinery manufacturing clusters in Asia and North America with major infrastructure projects in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Prevent costly terminal storage demurrage, customs seizures, and structural sea damage with strict pre-shipment auditing.
All imported diesel-powered construction equipment must comply with U.S. EPA off-road compression-ignition engine standards prior to release.
Structural validation of machine lifting lugs, center of gravity (CG) stenciling, and Working Load Limit (WLL) tie-down rings according to CTU Code.
Ocean bill of lading and cargo dimensions filed with U.S. CBP at least 24 hours prior to loading at foreign origin ports.
USDA-APHIS mandated pressure washing and soil removal for used agricultural and earthmoving equipment to prevent invasive pest holds.
State DOT approvals for gross vehicle weight exceeding 80,000 lbs, requiring lowboy multi-axle configurations and escort vehicles.
