Shipping and Container Loading

We have considerable expertise in helping our clients acquire, load and ship tractors throughout the US and Europe.  We can help arrange trucking and container shipping at competitive rates and have the experience to move and load even the largest tractors.  We can store your tractors in a secure fenced yard awaiting additional units to make a full container. Above all, we have an impeccable reputation for honesty and being trustworthy.

This is a Hart Parr 30-60 tractor we prepared for shipping to Ireland. The rear wheels and axle, front wheels, stack and canopy supports were removed to allow shipping in a high cube 40 foot shipping container.

The tractor was fitted with temporary dollies on the front axle, lifted with an overhead crane at the front and a forklift at the rear to enable us to safely move it into and out of the container.
