1. Mining Equipment Shipping with Full-Service Coordination
Falcon Cargo’s operations team coordinates the entire mining equipment shipping supply chain: packaging, lifting, transport permits, and final delivery. For our Houston–Hong Kong project, we ensured each step aligned with global compliance standards, from barge loading at the Gulf Coast to final delivery overseas. Clients rely on our:
- End-to-end logistics planning
- Seamless coordination between road, sea, and rail
- Pre-arranged customs clearance and inspections
“Shipping mining equipment safely and on time requires specialized knowledge — Falcon Cargo brings that level of expertise.”
2. Custom Crating & Export Packaging for Mining Equipment
Our packaging team engineered ISPM-15 certified wooden crates for each mining engine. These crates are reinforced with 2×12” planks, cushioned skids, and welded bracing to absorb shock and vibration. Every load was labeled with lift points and weighed using scales rated up to 120,000 lbs — critical for oversized mining equipment shipping.
Key packaging features:
- Heavy-duty wooden crates built for loads over 60 feet long
- Moisture protection and shock absorption
- Load weight and lift guidance for precision handling
3. Expert Handling with Certified Operators & Equipment
For this mining equipment shipping operation, Falcon Cargo used Hyundai diesel forklifts and telescopic handlers suited for heavy machinery. Our certified operators followed OSHA and international safety standards during all lifting and transfers.
Handling steps included:
- Pre-lift inspections (hydraulics, brakes, rigging)
- Crate centering, chocking, and steady lifting
- Spotters on-site to guide every move
4. Oversized Transport with Permits & Escorts
We shipped mining engines using lowboy and RGN trailers, ensuring even weight distribution and secure tie-downs. Our logistics team filed oversize permits and scheduled pilot cars for safe highway transit. Proper mining equipment shippingmeans:
- Escorts and flagging for wide loads
- Chains, airbags, and straps for load security
- Regulatory compliance for both U.S. and international transit
