Shipping a 56-tonne bulldozer from Germany to Bryansk
A heavy 56-tonne bulldozer travelled from Germany to Bryansk by specialised vessel and low-loader in 21 days, with no damage and no delays.
The task
Organise delivery of a heavy 56-tonne bulldozer from Germany to Russia: ensure safe carriage taking into account the machine’s dimensions and weight and the restrictions along the route, and carry out professional loading and unloading.
What we did
We chose specialised sea transport with secure lashing for heavy machinery, and for the final leg a low-loader with reinforced lashing points. The route was checked in advance for permitted dimensions and bridge loads.
The documents were prepared under the temporary import procedure with a complete set of papers, which allowed the machine to clear customs in St Petersburg without delay.
Result
The bulldozer reached Bryansk in 21 days, with no damage and no delays. The right choice of equipment and route eliminated downtime and reduced transport risk; all regulations were observed at every stage.

What it means for an equipment supplier
Heavy machinery is priced and planned around the route, not the distance: permits, the type of vessel and trailer, and the lashing scheme decide both cost and timing. If your customer imports the machine temporarily, the documents must match that procedure from the start. Send us the dimensions, weight and lifting points and we will check the route before quoting.
Why the price is quoted this way
Groupage (LCL) freight is priced per cargo piece: from €200 per piece and from €500 per euro pallet. Project and out-of-gauge moves are always quoted individually, because the price depends on permits, special equipment and the lashing scheme rather than on a rate per kilometre.
We do not publish client names or contacts without written consent: a supply route is the importer’s commercial secret. References from existing clients are available on request, where they agree to be contacted.
B2B shipments only
We work with companies only: shipments from 50 kg (air: no weight limit), minimum service fee €200. We handle only goods that are not subject to EU/UK/Swiss/US sanctions and screen HS codes and parties before we quote. Send us your invoice or packing list and we reply within 2 business hours.
