What types of machinery do you handle?

We specialize in agricultural and heavy-duty machinery: combines, tractors, excavators, bulldozers, planters, sprayers, mining equipment, and more. We handle all major brands — John Deere, Case IH, CAT, Kinze, Kubota — and know the disassembly specs for each.

What areas do you serve?

We pick up equipment anywhere in the USA and Canada. Our main facility is in Iowa, with partner warehouses in California, Georgia, Illinois, North Dakota, Texas, and Alberta. We ship to any port worldwide — Latin America, Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and beyond.

How long does the entire process take?

Equipment pickup to container loading typically takes 5–14 days depending on complexity. Ocean transit is 18–35 days for most routes. For urgent parts or time-sensitive shipments, air freight delivers in 7–14 days. Every quote includes a detailed timeline so you know exactly when to expect delivery.

What container sizes do you work with?

We work with 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft high-cube containers, plus flat racks and open tops for oversized equipment. Our team optimizes every cubic foot of space to keep your shipping costs as low as possible.

Do you handle customs documentation?

Yes — we handle all export paperwork: commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, and phytosanitary certificates. We coordinate directly with customs brokers to prevent delays at port.

How do you calculate pricing?

Pricing depends on equipment type, dismantling complexity, pickup distance, and destination. Every quote is transparent and itemized — no hidden fees. Check our pricing page for reference rates, or use our freight calculator for an instant estimate.

Our Work

Equipment We've Shipped

Every project below went from seller's lot to ocean vessel. Destination, container type, weight, and transit time included.

Spraying

John Deere Sprayer — Port Crane Loading

We used a Contmaster reach stacker to crane-lift a John Deere self-propelled sprayer directly onto a flat rack at the container yard, threading the machine between stacked Maersk containers with less than a foot of clearance on each side. The 90-foot boom sections were removed and crated in custom wooden frames shipped alongside. The flat rack cleared St. Petersburg in 18 days with the buyer's customs broker pre-cleared for agricultural equipment import.

Case IH 9120 Combine to Middle East

We secured a Case IH 9120 combine and detached tires on a Hapag-Lloyd flat rack using custom wood blocking and grade-43 chain binders for overseas shipping to Saudi Arabia. At 18,000 kg, load distribution was critical — we calculated center of gravity and positioned the machine to stay within flat rack weight limits across all four corners. The shipment cleared Jeddah port in 30 days with all SABER documentation pre-approved.

John Deere Combine Pair — Container Export

We dismantled and packed two John Deere combines into side-by-side 40ft containers, loading rear-first with professional strapping to maximize space. Headers, augers, and GPS domes were removed and crated separately — every bolt bag was labeled for reassembly. The dual-container shipment reached Novorossiysk in 30 days, saving the buyer over $8,000 compared to flat rack pricing.

John Deere 9650 STS — Oversized to Kazakhstan

We transported a John Deere 9650 STS combine on an oversized lowboy trailer from Iowa to the loading port, with dual rear tires strapped alongside on the trailer deck. The header and unloading auger were removed, crated, and shipped in a separate 40ft container. The flat rack reached Aktau port after 42 days of transit via the Mediterranean and Caspian transshipment, with zero transport damage reported on arrival.

Shelbourne Stripper Headers

We forklift-loaded Shelbourne stripper headers into two 40ft high-cube containers at our packing facility, adding custom protective bracing for the knife sections and belt assemblies. Each header was secured on welded transport stands to prevent lateral movement during 25 days of ocean transit to Constanta, Romania. The buyer confirmed all four units arrived in working condition.

Parts & Components

John Deere Combine Parts — Container Export

We disassembled a John Deere combine into core components — cleaning fans, auger tubes, engine block, separator drums, and sieve assemblies — and consolidated everything into a single 40ft high-cube container. Each component was secured on pallets and custom welded frames to prevent shifting during 48 days of ocean and rail transit to Kostanay, Kazakhstan. The buyer confirmed all parts arrived intact for workshop reassembly.
