Heavy Equipment Shipping from China

Aurora Trading ships heavy equipment and oversized machinery from China to ports worldwide — with particular depth on routes to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the wider Middle East. From excavators and cranes to complete production lines, we handle the special equipment, lashing, documentation, and customs work that heavy cargo demands.

Heavy Equipment We Ship from China

We arrange shipping for construction machinery (excavators, wheel loaders, bulldozers, cranes), industrial production lines, generators and power equipment, agricultural machinery, drilling rigs, and any out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo that exceeds standard container dimensions. Both new equipment from Chinese manufacturers and used machinery purchases are covered.

Shipping Methods: Flat Rack, RoRo, Breakbulk & FCL

Self-propelled machines often travel cheapest by RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) vessel. Static oversized equipment ships on flat rack or open top containers with professional lashing and securing. Very large units move as breakbulk. Where machinery can be partially disassembled, standard FCL containers cut costs significantly — we advise on the most economical safe method for each unit.

Routes & Transit Times to the Middle East and Beyond

From South China ports, typical transit times are 18–25 days to Jeddah or Dammam (Saudi Arabia), 15–20 days to Jebel Ali (UAE), 28–35 days to European ports, and 20–30 days to East and West Africa. We quote door-to-port or full door-to-door including inland heavy haulage at destination.

Export Documentation & Customs for Heavy Machinery

Heavy equipment shipments need accurate HS classification, commercial invoice and packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and — for used machinery — inspection or pre-export verification certificates required by some destinations. Our team prepares the full document set and coordinates with clearing agents at your port to avoid storage and demurrage costs.

Why Ship Heavy Equipment with Aurora Trading

Heavy cargo punishes mistakes: a wrong lashing plan, a missing certificate, or a misdeclared weight becomes expensive fast. With 15+ years shipping machinery from China — including complete corrugated production lines to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa — we manage the physical and paperwork risk end to end, and our bilingual team supports clients in English and Arabic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you ship heavy equipment from China to Saudi Arabia and the UAE?

Yes — this is one of our core routes. We ship to Jeddah, Dammam, and Jebel Ali with full export documentation, SABER/SASO coordination for Saudi-bound cargo, and customs support at destination.

How do you ship oversized machinery that does not fit a container?

Out-of-gauge cargo ships on flat rack or open top containers, by RoRo for self-propelled machines, or as breakbulk for very large units. We produce a lashing and securing plan and choose the most economical safe method.

Is heavy equipment shipping insured?

We arrange all-risk marine cargo insurance covering the declared value of the machinery from loading through discharge, with extensions for inland transport where required.
