Your Machinery Is In Safe Hands With High-Tech Shipping

Let The Experts Help. Many people are intimidated by the prospect of having to move a large piece of machinery between Australia and New Zealand, or anywhere in the world especially if such a task is not required regularly. Most of the time, moving oversized equipment is a task that requires the assistance of an experienced machinery transport company that specializes in moving freight.

At Willship, we are committed to delivering superior machinery shipping service; ensuring that it is done safely and efficiently. With tools that transmit data as the machinery moves from one stage to the next, everything runs smoothly. Everyone who is a part of that journey is accountable. From the time the machinery is delivered to the port, it is cleared through customs and quarantine at the destination of your choice, until it is released from the port and transferred to the client's care. It's being closely monitored the entire time, so there's no way we won't know where it is at any point along the way.
