Heavy Equipment Dismantling And International Relocation

Tranzport managed the dismantling, export, and reinstallation logistics for a full set of heavy industrial equipment relocating to a new international facility.
About Project
A manufacturer was consolidating operations and needed to relocate heavy production equipment — cranes, presses, and processing lines — from an existing plant to a new facility overseas. Each machine had to be safely dismantled, documented for reassembly, and moved without damaging components that, in many cases, were no longer manufactured. Tranzport managed the project from teardown through delivery and reinstallation support.
Challenge
- Safely dismantling heavy machinery without damaging critical components
- Export documentation and customs classification for used industrial equipment
- Coordinating ocean freight, port handling, and inland delivery across two countries
- Minimizing the production gap between the old and new facilities
Tranzport Solution
- On-site dismantling coordination with detailed reassembly documentation
- Custom crating and load engineering for irregular, heavy components
- Export compliance and customs classification handled ahead of departure
- End-to-end tracking from origin plant to destination installation
Results
Every piece of equipment arrived intact and accounted for, with reassembly documentation that let the customer's engineering team rebuild each line without guesswork. The relocation was completed within the customer's planned production transition window.
