Introduction:
Shipping heavy construction equipment like self-loading concrete mixers internationally can be a logistical headache. Oversized dimensions often force exporters to use expensive containers – but what if there’s a smarter way? In this blog post, we’ll break down a real-world case where we shipped a client’s tailor-made self-loading mixer in a standard 20GP container, saving over 30% on transportation expenses.
The Challenge:
Shipping Large Machinery Cost-Effectively
Our client, a construction company in Southeast Asia, needed a self-loading concrete mixer with specific capacity and mobility requirements. However, standard shipping quotes for oversized equipment threatened to exceed their budget. Traditional methods would have required:
🚢 A 40HQ container (double the cost of a 20GP)
📦 Disassembling critical components, risking post-delivery reassembly errors
💸 Additional fees for special handling
To address this, our engineering and logistics teams collaborated to design a compact yet reversible disassembly plan.
The Qiuerte Solution:
Smart Engineering Meets Logistics Expertise
Step 1: Temporary Transport Wheel Replacement
Original tires were swapped with low-profile transport wheels, reducing the mixer’s height to fit a 20GP container (2.33m internal height).
These wheels are lightweight, durable, and designed solely for secure transit.
Step 2: Cabin Shell Removal
The cabin’s outer shell was carefully detached, while critical components (controls, wiring) remained intact and protected.
This cut the mixer’s width by 35%, optimizing container space.
Step 3: Secure Loading & Documentation
A 3D loading plan ensured balanced weight distribution.
Clients received a customized reassembly kit, including:
🔧 Pre-labeled bolts and fittings
📹 A detailed video tutorial
📞 24/7 technical support via WhatsApp or email.
Why This Matters for Global Buyers?
Cost Savings: Smaller containers = lower freight + reduced import duties (often based on volume).
Time Efficiency: Our modular disassembly design allows clients to restore the mixer to full operation within 4 hours.
Scalability: This method works for Qiuerte’s entire range, including aerial work platforms and skid steer loaders.
