Weight
Dense pieces can exceed warehouse, forklift, truck or container floor limits.
Industrial freight from China
Logistics for Machinery, Equipment and Production Cargo
Plan heavy, irregular or project-critical industrial shipments around verified dimensions, lifting points, crating, container fit and destination-site access.
Industry cargo profile
Product characteristics that shape the freight plan
This guidance supports planning. Final carrier acceptance and compliance requirements depend on the verified shipment.
Dimensions
Irregular profiles require verified packed dimensions and equipment-fit checks.
Handling
Lifting points, center of gravity and rigging instructions affect safe movement.
Project delivery
Site access, cranes, unloading and installation schedules must be separated from basic freight.
Common logistics problems
Resolve the product risk before choosing the rate
Low freight cost does not correct weak packing, missing declarations or an impractical delivery plan.
Unverified dimensions
Measure after crating and include skids, lifting frames and protrusions.
Equipment mismatch
Check container doors, payload, chassis and lifting capability before booking.
Crate failure
Design export packing for weight, lifting, moisture and repeated handling.
Site restrictions
Confirm road access, appointment, unloading equipment and responsible parties.
Packaging guidance
Prepare cargo for the handling it will actually face
- Use engineered skids or crates appropriate to weight
- Mark center of gravity and lifting points
- Protect against corrosion and moisture where required
- Secure moving parts and drain fluids when applicable
- Provide final packed drawings and weights
Document readiness
Keep the shipment record aligned with the product
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Final packing and dimension list
- Lifting or center-of-gravity information
- Material, fluid or battery declarations
- Destination import or machinery compliance records
Shipping modes
Match timing and cargo condition to the transport option
No mode is automatically best for an entire industry. Compare the verified shipment profile and delivery scope.
FCL Sea Freight
For machinery that can be safely loaded into standard equipment.
Open-top / Flat-rack
For approved cargo exceeding standard container dimensions.
Air Freight
For compact urgent components where aircraft acceptance is workable.
Industry workflow
Five checkpoints from product review to delivery
Technical review
Confirm packed drawings, weight, lifting and cargo condition.
Equipment plan
Select container, special equipment or air option.
Origin preparation
Coordinate crating, pickup, lifting and loading.
Main transport
Manage booking and operational milestones.
Site handover
Coordinate delivery access and unloading responsibility as agreed.
Inquiry checklist
Send the information that changes the plan
Product photos and final packed dimensions are often more useful than a generic product name.

Questions to settle before booking
Shipment-specific product and destination review remains required.
01Can QIFLY ship oversized machinery?+
Potentially, after exact packed dimensions, weight, lifting, route and equipment availability are reviewed.
02Does delivery include unloading?+
Not automatically. Crane, forklift, rigging, inside delivery and installation must be explicitly defined.
03When should final dimensions be provided?+
After export packing is complete. Quoting from bare-machine dimensions can lead to equipment and rate changes.
