Shipping from Peru to Australia

IPH coordinated the international transportation of the bucket from a Hitachi EX8000 mining excavator, one of the largest machines used in large-scale mining operations.
Given the component’s considerable dimensions, the operation called for a carefully planned transport solution to ensure safe and efficient handling throughout the shipping process.

The operation required close planning and coordination across several key activities:

• Dismantling and preparing the component for transportation.
• Arranging two separate shipments using Flat Rack containers.
• Planning the distribution and positioning of the components on each platform.
• Applying appropriate safety measures and securing systems to maintain cargo stability throughout transportation.
• Coordinating the teams involved to ensure the operation was carried out successfully.

The project was carried out in collaboration with Consolidated Freight Australia (CFA), IPH’s partner in Australia and a fellow member of the Global Logistics Associates (GLA) network.

The close cooperation between both teams brought together their capabilities, experience and operational knowledge to meet the demands of this large-scale movement.

At IPH, we manage demanding project cargo movements, providing tailored transport solutions for oversized equipment and shipments with specific handling and transportation requirements.
This project further demonstrates our ability to manage complex logistics challenges in collaboration with our trusted network of international partners.

Moving large components for the mining industry involves far more than conventional freight services. It requires thorough planning, technical knowledge, international coordination and careful oversight at every stage.
