HOW TO SHIP A CNC MACHINE
There are several options for shipping a CNC machine efficiently. They include:
- Using your own truck, preferably a heavy-duty truck designed for hauling equipment
- Using your own trailer
- Using a trailer provided by the seller
- Hiring a local transportation company to transport the machine(s)
Whether you utilize a trailer of yours or the buyer’s trailer, it must feature the right payload. Attempting to haul a CNC machine or any heavy equipment with a vehicle or trailer under the recommended payload can result in a serious accident. You’ll also want to double-check the trailer’s height and width, as it must comply with U.S. overland transportation guidelines. The maximum width and height in the U.S., for example, is 8’6″ wide and 13’6″ tall. If you need to ship a CNC machine to Canada, ensure your trailer adheres to the country’s transportation regulations.
Flatbed trailers are the popular choice for shipping CNC machines and are typically 48 feet long. However, some include “overhang” sections and are still considered legal transportation options. Drop-deck trailers are also used to ship CNC machines, as they feature lower middle decks that accommodate tall machines. These decks help keep the machines in place for safer transportation.
Should the weight of the trailer, tractor, and machine load surpass 80,000 pounds, you’ll need a special transit permit.
PREPARING FOR CNC MACHINE DELIVERY
While most CNC machines can be shipped intact, some require disassembly to fit on their trailers or other modes of transportation. If you purchased a larger used CNC machine and it arrives in several pieces, it is generally best to let a CNC technician from Premier Equipment handle the machine removal and reassembly. This technician also works with the trailer or truck rigger to take the machine apart and make certain it is placed on the trailer securely.
Allowing professionals to handle these processes avoids injuries and costly machine damage. Premier Equipment works with 5,000, 15,000, and 40,000-pound forklifts to transport CNC machines from our headquarters to truck beds and trailers. We also have a crane on premise for more challenging transfers.
