Boom Lift Container Shipping

Boom Lifts packed by machinery specialists

Boom lifts are one of the machines we pack most often, and one of the easiest to get wrong. We have done them all, and learned from the issues that can arise when they are handled by an inexperienced partner. As a result, our dismantling partners are given clear instructions on the dismantling required, so there are no surprises at the other end. From properly balancing the container load to draining fluids from hubs and other components, we make sure your shipment with RAD Global Freight is a smooth one.

We ship boom lifts out of Australia from hire companies, auction companies and dealers to clients across Asia, Africa and South America. Individual boom lifts up to the JLG 600AJ (60 ft) can in some cases be packed into a 20’ GP, but we typically find the sweet spot that makes buying from Australia viable is packing multiple units up to JLG 660SJ size into a 40’ HC. 40’ HC freight is economical, typically costing only around 30% more than a 20’ GP.

Larger models can also be packed into a 40’ HC by splitting the chassis at the sprocket, as long as the upper structure does not exceed 12 m once the basket and jib are removed. For those wanting minimal dismantling and scratching of their larger boom lifts, a 40’ Open Top High Cube or 40’ Flat Rack is recommended.
