Cold Forging Machine and Heavy Press Shipping Worldwide
You are moving a cold forging machine or a forming press to a plant overseas, and the unit weighs more than most cargo ever will. How do you lift, secure, and ship a machine measured in tens of tons without harming its precision frame? The engineering of the move is the whole job.
Texas International Freight ships cold forging machines, forming presses, and heavy metalworking equipment from Houston and across the United States to plants worldwide. We bring heavy-lift planning to machines that few carriers will touch.
Heavy, Dense, and Precise
A cold forging press concentrates great weight in a compact frame, which makes lift points and weight distribution the first concern. We work from the machine’s drawings to plan the rigging so the load is balanced and the frame is never stressed.
Heavy-Lift Handling
These machines ship as breakbulk or on flat racks, and the heaviest units call for heavy-lift cranes and reinforced stowage. We arrange self-propelled modular transport at the terminal and the survey work that heavy lifts require.
Crating, Blocking, and Lashing
Precision surfaces and control systems are protected with custom crating, moisture barriers, dunnage, and lashing calculated for the voyage. The machine arrives ready to align and commission.
Project Coordination
A plant relocation rarely moves one machine. For a full line, project logistics and vessel charter keep the equipment on one plan, and our team handles the heavy haul that brings each unit to the Houston terminal.

How heavy a forging machine can you ship?
We handle presses and forging machines weighing tens of tons or more. The heaviest units ship as heavy lift, with geared vessels or floating cranes and engineered lift plans built from the machine’s drawings.
How do you protect a machine’s precision frame?
We plan the rigging from the lift points so weight stays balanced and the frame is not stressed, then crate and brace precision surfaces and controls. Moisture barriers and dunnage protect the unit at sea.
Can you relocate a full forging line?
Yes. We coordinate a multi-machine plant move as one project, sequencing the units, the heavy haul, and the ocean carriage so the line arrives on a schedule that matches the install plan.
How does a machine get from the plant to the ship?
We arrange heavy-haul road transport to the Houston terminal, with permits and escorts as the route requires, then handle the lift and stow aboard the vessel.
What information do you need to quote?
Send the machine’s weight, dimensions, lift points, and destination. From that we plan the rigging and routing and return a quote.
