Terex Equipment Shipping
Now part of Terex CorporationSource
Also known as Terex Fuchs, Fuchs, Schaeff, Terex-American
Terex Fuchs material handlers ship in one or two 40 ft high cubes with the boom and stick off and the cab lowered, and Terex booms go in one high cube. Terex-American crawler cranes ship as kits across open tops and high cubes.
Terex machines we have loaded in containers
5 Terex models are in our dismantling and loading records, each with the boxes it went in and the parts that came off. Containers reach more ports and usually cost less than RoRo or flat racks.

Container, flat rack, RoRo or breakbulk?
We quote in this order because it is usually cheapest first. Most machines that look too big for a box fit once our crew takes off the bucket, boom, cab or wheels; larger ones are taken further apart across several containers, and pieces too big or heavy for a flat rack or roll trailer go breakbulk.
01Container
Best fit- Work needed
- We partially disassemble when needed (bucket, boom, cab, wheels), or take larger machines further apart across several high-cubes and open-tops, then crate, block and lash every part.
- Destinations
- Widest: almost every port worldwide, plus inland delivery by rail.
- Typical cost
- Usually the lowest, with no out-of-gauge surcharges.
- Protection
- Sealed steel box; loose parts and attachments travel locked inside.
- Best for
- Most machines: compact ones as they are, others after partial disassembly, and large ones split across several containers.
02Flat rack
- Work needed
- Ships assembled, blocked and lashed. Surcharges apply when wider than 2.4 m or taller than about 1.95 m.
- Destinations
- Most container ports, on the same vessels as containers.
- Typical cost
- Moderate; rises with every centimetre out of gauge.
- Protection
- Open to the weather; we protect cabs, electronics and hydraulics.
- Best for
- Excavators, dozers and loaders too wide for a container door.
03RoRo
- Work needed
- Drives on assembled; non-runners go on a roll trailer.
- Destinations
- Fewer destinations: regular lanes to Europe, West Africa, the Middle East, Oceania and parts of Latin America.
- Typical cost
- Often competitive for large self-propelled machines where a lane exists.
- Protection
- Below deck, but loose items and attachments cannot ride inside the cab.
- Best for
- Running machines going to a port with regular RoRo sailings.
04Breakbulk
- Work needed
- Lifted aboard piece by piece by ship’s or shore cranes, on its own skids or cradle, then stowed and lashed in the hold or on deck.
- Destinations
- Ports with breakbulk berths and heavy-lift cranes; sailings are booked voyage by voyage.
- Typical cost
- Usually the highest for a single small machine; often the only option for the largest pieces.
- Protection
- In the hold or lashed on deck; we crate, wrap and protect exposed parts.
- Best for
- Pieces too large or heavy for a flat rack or roll trailer: transformers, process modules, mining trucks, crane sections.
Preparing Terex machines for export
- Scrap handlers are pressure-washed and the magnet or grapple is removed and crated.
- Raised cabs are lowered or removed so the upper structure clears the door.
- Fuchs MHL handlers ship with the boom and stick off and the cab lowered, across one or two high cubes.
- Terex telescopic booms go in one high cube or open top with the platform off.
- Terex-American crawler cranes ship as kits with tagged boom sections.
Containerizing a machine means taking off the parts that stop it fitting, then crating, labelling and lashing them in the same box. See how we containerize heavy equipment

Terex shipping questions
How do you ship a Terex Fuchs MHL350?
In our loading records the MHL350 ships with the boom and stick off across 40 ft high cubes. We confirm the plan with photos of your machine.
Is Fuchs still part of Terex?
Yes. Terex bought the Schaeff Group, which owned Fuchs, in January 2002. Fuchs handlers are still built in Bad Schönborn, Germany.
