How This Shipment Moved

Kansas City pickup and port delivery

The street sweeper was collected in Kansas City and moved by road to Houston. Its size and specialist body equipment required a handling plan for both the inland and ocean legs.

Preparing the sweeper for container transport

The original project used an open-top container plan. Preparation included disconnecting the battery, securing movable components, protecting exposed hydraulic and electrical systems, and removing mirrors to help with the loading arrangement.

Through Arica to Bolivia

The ocean leg went to Arica, Chile, followed by cross-border road transport to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Customs and onward transport coordination connected the seaport arrival with the inland destination.
