How to Ship Heavy Machinery From USA to South Africa
If you’re contemplating shipping heavy machinery from the USA to a country in South Africa, you may assume the process is confusing or difficult. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. Ship Overseas handles everything while you only have to provide payment and a few bits of information for a free quote: we will need the Year/Make/Model, Pickup Zip Code or Departure Port, and Destination Country in South Africa.
To help you save on import duty fees, we can professionally dismantle your machinery first (you would pay an extra fee). This makes it simpler to fit your equipment inside the containers. Shipping disassembled machinery is often more affordable because it is considered a shipment of parts – not a fully assembled machine.
Our team caters to construction companies, manufacturers, agencies and private owners who wish to ship their heavy machinery to South Africa from the USA.

Shipping Method for Shipping Heavy Machinery to South Africa
We offer the RoRo method for heavy machinery shipments to South Africa, with vessels departing every week from three major U.S. seaports to a variety of countries in South Africa.
RoRo Shipping (Roll On/Roll Off)
These ships are similar to a parking garage inside, and we use this method for overseas transportation of construction vehicles, boats, motorcycles, motorhomes, campers, trailers, and buses. Just as the name implies, your shipped heavy machinery must roll onto and off of the ship. You get set departure and arrival dates, which means this method has a reliable time table, kind of like an airport.
