FAQ
How do you plan a full factory relocation without shutting production for weeks?
Start with a site survey, critical path, and phased move plan. We handle export packing, crating, heavy haul, and vessel selection or charter. Sensitive lines move in stages to reduce downtime. Many clients keep limited production running while major assets relocate.
What kinds of equipment do you move most often?
Heavy machinery, CNC lines, transformers, and production modules. Project teams also move oilfield assets like drill rigs and workover rigs, plus agricultural equipment and mining equipment. Oversize pieces ship as breakbulk when needed.
Can you manage cross-border relocations into Canada or Mexico?
Yes. Teams coordinate customs clearance and permits, arrange trucking to Mexico, and ship to Canada with bonded moves when required. Routes, escorts, and bridge clearances are verified in advance.
How do you protect high-value machines in transit?
Use ISPM-15 export crates, moisture control, and lift plans with certified rigging. Coverage is placed via Cargo Insurance. Teams supervise handling at origin, Port of Houston, and destination terminals.
What transport modes do you combine for factory moves?
Road plus ocean freight is most common. Time-critical components can go by air cargo. Oversize units use charters or liner breakbulk services, with heavy haul first and last mile.
