Shipping Mining Equipment

Shipping Mining Equipment Worldwide for the Mining Industry

Mining runs on heavy-duty equipment, and a lot of it has to move from a US supplier to a mine site that may sit deep in South America, Africa, or the Australian outback. Excavators, bulldozers, drilling rigs, and conveyor systems are oversized, heavy, and high-value. How do you get them to the site on time and through customs without a costly delay? The right mode, permits, and paperwork keep the project on track.

Texas International Freight ships mining equipment across the USA and worldwide. We move the oversized, heavy machinery, clear the customs, and run the delivery as one job.

Mining Equipment We Ship

Mining demands equipment built for hard conditions, and each type ships its own way:

• Excavators, draglines, and loaders: the machines that dig, lift, and move earth and ore. Their size and weight call for heavy-haul trucking or breakbulk overseas.
• Drilling and blasting equipment: rotary drills, rock drills, and blasting systems with sensitive components that we crate, secure, and handle carefully, the same discipline behind our drill rig hauling.
• Conveyor systems and crushers: shipped in sections for their length and weight, with our team managing the breakdown, shipping, and on-site reassembly.
• Haul trucks and heavy-duty vehicles: oversized vehicles secured and kept compliant with domestic and international shipping rules.
• Processing and refining machinery: separators, screens, and flotation systems, crated and documented for domestic and international moves.

Domestic and International Reach

Mining equipment moves through complex supply chains, overland, across ports, or by air for urgent deliveries. We move machinery between US mining regions and export to the major mining markets in South America, Canada, Africa, and Australia, with the routing built around the project.

Breakbulk and Heavy-Lift Shipping

Not all mining equipment fits a standard container. Our breakbulk and heavy-lift work moves fully assembled or partly disassembled units, which cuts costly reassembly. The options cover flat racks and open-top containers for easy loading, roll-on roll-off for self-propelled equipment, and full or partial vessel charter for oversized machinery. Trusted carriers and experienced port handlers keep the largest units moving on schedule.

Heavy Haul Trucking

From Nevada to Pennsylvania or Texas to Wyoming, our heavy-haul trucking gets mining equipment there safely. We plan routes and coordinate permits for oversize loads, run specialized trailers such as lowboys, multi-axle, and modular transporters for different loads, and coordinate on site for delivery and unloading at remote mining locations. Decades of heavy equipment experience tell us how to work complex routes, secure permits, and cut transit risk.

Ocean Freight for International Mining Projects

Exporting mining equipment takes careful planning for safe passage across international waters. Our ocean freight options include flat racks and open-top containers for large machinery, RoRo for self-propelled vehicles, and vessel charter for oversized shipments. We handle the customs documentation, compliance, and insurance for deliveries to global mining destinations, including Chile, Peru, Canada, Africa, and Australia.

Customs and Compliance

International mining projects run through strict import rules and customs clearance. We handle the export documentation, customs filings, and duty calculations that prevent delays, keep the move compliant with import and export law in mining-heavy countries, and arrange cargo insurance and risk management to protect valuable shipments.

Why Texas International Freight

Mining companies trust us because we know the cargo. We understand the challenges of oversized loads and remote delivery points, and we have worked with mining companies, contractors, and equipment manufacturers across North America, South America, Africa, and Australia. We run the move from pickup to final delivery, permits, compliance, route planning, and risk management on one desk, and we plan routes and consolidate shipments to keep the freight cost down without cutting safety or timelines.
