Manufacturing & Industrial Equipment
Moving weight, not just volume
Manufacturing freight is rarely a simple box count. It is a production line arriving in eleven crates that all have to land the same week, a single press weighing forty tons that needs its own route survey, or a container of raw steel where the duty calculation depends on getting the HS code exactly right.
We move industrial machinery, production equipment and manufacturing raw materials in and out of Pakistan, handling the breakbulk, project cargo and standard containerised freight that keeps factories running and expansions on schedule.
What sets industrial freight apart
What we move
Production Machinery
Full production lines and standalone industrial machines, imported for new plants or factory expansions.
Heavy Industrial Equipment
Presses, generators, compressors and processing equipment, often oversized or overweight for standard containers.
Raw Materials
Steel, plastics, chemicals and other manufacturing inputs, imported on recurring schedules to keep production lines fed.
Spare Parts & Components
Time-critical spares where a production line stoppage makes expedited air freight the only real option.
Used & Refurbished Machinery
Second-hand equipment imports requiring specific age and valuation documentation under SRO requirements.
Finished Industrial Goods
Export of manufactured industrial products, palletised or crated for international freight.
Industrial freight problems — and how we handle them
| Problem | Why it happens | How we deal with it |
|---|---|---|
| Machinery too large for standard equipment | Presses, generators and processing units often exceed standard container dimensions or weight limits. | Route surveys and equipment booking (flat racks, low-loaders, cranes) done before the shipment, not discovered at port. |
| Wrong HS code, wrong duty | Machinery and raw materials have hundreds of possible tariff classifications, and a wrong code triggers reassessment and penalties. | Classification confirmed against the actual product spec before filing, with supporting technical documentation on hand. |
| Used machinery import restrictions | Second-hand equipment is subject to age limits and valuation requirements under SRO import policy. | Age and valuation documentation, and pre-shipment inspection where required, arranged before the machinery ships. |
| Multi-crate shipments arriving out of sync | A production line shipped in separate crates is only useful once every crate has arrived — one delayed piece stalls the whole installation. | Consolidated booking and tracking across all crates so the full set lands together, with proactive updates if any piece is at risk. |
| Site access for oversized delivery | Factory access roads, gate heights and unloading equipment are not always suited to oversized cargo. | Site conditions confirmed and permits for oversized road movement arranged ahead of the delivery date. |
