Machinery, plant equipment and project cargo from U.S. shops and yards — crated, lashed and cleared as freight, not as an afterthought on a production invoice.
A CNC machine is not “one pallet”. It has a centre of gravity, anchor points and a crate that has to match the ocean method. We book FCL when it fits, flat-rack or breakbulk when it does not, and air only when the install crew is already on site and the machine is late. Most of our volume sits in this category — machinery and industrial parts — so the questions are familiar.
Newark holds and transloads general industrial cargo. Oversize road moves are arranged with heavy-haul, not with a standard drayage truck. We are the forwarder and the warehouse, not the millwright. Installation, anchoring and commissioning stay with your contractor.
Machine tools, packaging lines, construction and plant equipment, packed for the mode that actually fits.
Metals, components and maintenance parts as FCL, LCL or air. The interesting constraint is usually the production date.
Staging, palletising and release against a sailing. Useful when the machine is ready before the site is.
Multiple pieces, a sequence, and a site that may only receive at night or with a crane on hire for one day.
Ocean for the machine. Ground and transload around the port. Warehousing when the dates do not match.
L × W × H, weight, lifting points, whether it is crated already. A photo with a tape in the frame beats a round number in an email.
If it fits a container, we price FCL. If it does not, we price the OOG method and the extra days. Air only when the date forces it.
Export packing if needed, pickup, in-house AES. The packing list lists pieces, not “1 lot machinery”.
Destination trucker and site rules. If a crane is required, it is on the plan. If the site slips, we need that the same day — demurrage does not pause for optimism.
Machinery, plant equipment, construction gear, spare parts and project lots. This is the core of our volume. Bulk commodity trading is not.
Measure, then book the equipment that fits: open-top, flat-rack, breakbulk or heavy-haul. We do not declare a 3.2 m piece as 2.4 m to get a cheaper box.
Yes, as freight: sequence, documents and destination handover. We do not unbolt the line or commission it at the other end.
We arrange export crating to the spec the mode needs, or we collect cargo already packed if the crate is fit for ocean or air. Unfit packing is cheaper to fix in Newark than at a destination claim.
Dimensions, weight, origin, destination and whether it is already crated. If it is a project with several pieces, send the list.
