Step by Step Guide to Transporting Heavy Machinery via Dubai Ports

Heavy Machinery Transport — From Your Location to Dubai and Then to Your Final Destination

Transporting heavy machinery is a vital part of construction, industrial, and infrastructure projects. At Novex Shipping, we handle the entire process — from pickup at your location, shipping to Dubai, and final delivery to your destination (such as ports in Iran or other countries).


Buying Heavy Machinery from Auctions and Online Platforms

You can buy high-quality machinery at competitive prices from top platforms:

  • Ritchie Bros Auctioneers – The largest global auction site for heavy equipment.
  • IronPlanet – A division of Ritchie Bros, offering online auctions and direct purchases.
  • MachineryTrader – Marketplace for new and used machinery from trusted U.S. and European dealers.
  • Plant & Equipment – Popular in the Middle East, especially in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Africa.

Tip: Always check the technical specs, service history, and ownership documents. If you’re not familiar with the seller's country, we can arrange a local expert inspection.

Shipping from the Origin Country to Dubai (Jebel Ali or Hamriyah Port)

  1. Domestic Transport in the Origin Country
    Machinery is moved from the seller's location to the nearest seaport (e.g., Houston, Hamburg).

    Based on size and mobility, we choose the right method:
    • RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) – Ideal for mobile machines like bulldozers or excavators.

  3. Managed by Novex Shipping
    We handle booking, loading, marine insurance, and tracking — ensuring safe delivery to Dubai.
