Heavy machinery is awkward freight: over-height, over-width, and worth more than the truck underneath it. It moves on our own routes, through our own transhipment hubs, and clears customs with our own brokers — from the factory gate to the site.

Eight marques, every one of them held on a direct contract with the plant that builds it. The origin map is not a claim about reach — it is the list of those plants, and it is checkable against the contracts.
Cargo moves both ways through Dubai: outbound from stock we already hold, inbound from the plants we represent.
Freight forwarding is normally a relay. Every leg belongs to a different company, and the machine changes hands at each joint — which is precisely where cargo waits, documents diverge and responsibility turns into a conversation. Our routes, our hubs and our brokers are one company from the quay to the site, and the joints are ours to answer for.
Port, customs and warehouse inside a single perimeter. Goods held here never formally enter the UAE market, so re-export carries no local duty — the structural reason a machine standing in Dubai reaches Central Asia on better terms than the same machine bought in Europe.
“In stock” means the unit is standing in that warehouse. A production slot at the factory is not availability, and we do not quote it as one.
Sea, road, rail and air. The mode follows the corridor, the dimensions of the unit and the urgency of the job — not a preference of ours, and not whichever carrier answered the enquiry first.
Transit times are not published. They are individual: the corridor and the Incoterm in the contract are what bind a delivery.
Delivery to the site, and past it by agreement. The lowbed, the escort and the route permits are arranged under the same contract as the sea leg — the machine does not become somebody else’s problem at the gate of the yard.
Oversize movements are planned before the vessel is booked, not discovered when it berths.
Send a specification — or simply the job the machine has to do, and we will specify it. What comes back inside one working day is a firm quote: configured, routed, and priced to the named place.
