How do I prepare my machinery for shipping?
Clean your machinery
Heavy machinery can take many, many man hours to remove all contamination, even a newly painted machine you purchased from an auction site can reveal belly plates full of soil and other contaminants.
We can offer full washing prior to shipping to avoid quarantine delays, but if possible you should negotiate with the seller to wash it for you as part of the sale.
Oil and fuel leaks
Any oil or fuel leaks will need to be fixed prior to shipping otherwise the shipping line can refuse to carry your machine.
Disassembly for cheaper shipping
Often it is cheaper to disassemble items like blades, rippers and ROPS to reduce the dimensions of the machinery and hence the shipping. The items can be bundled together or shipped as separate items but the overall cubic volume will be much less.
