Client-Friendly Summary (photos below)

BMI and our network of logistics professionals managed the end-to-end export of a 54,000 lb over-dimensional cone crusher from Berwick, PA to Puerto Limón, Costa Rica. We secured DOT permits, executed compliant heavy-haul trucking to Baltimore, completed export preparation (including ISPM-15 skidding), and safely transloaded and secured the unit onto a flat rack using blocking and bracing aligned with U.S. Coast Guard guidelines—resulting in smooth port acceptance and successful ocean delivery.


Challenge

Exporting oversized, overweight machinery requires flawless coordination across highway compliance, export prep, cargo securement, and port documentation. The customer needed a single logistics partner to:

Move an over-dimensional / overweight unit legally with DOT permits

Use specialized heavy-haul equipment (RGN trailer) and meet scheduled pickup timing

Prepare the crusher for export with ISPM-15 treated wood skidding

Secure the cargo properly on a flat rack to prevent shifting during ocean transport

Transmit complete export documentation to avoid port delays and vessel cutoff risk


Results

On-time pickup and permitted heavy-haul transport using an RGN trailer

Received and completed Export-compliant handling, including ISPM-15 skidding, pressure washing, permitting, and export documentation

Transloading & Securing equipment to 40’FR per international transport guidelines

Smooth terminal acceptance supported by correctly transmitted export documentation

Successful ocean delivery to Puerto Limón, Costa Rica—without delays or damage
