The Excavators, each weighing an average of 24 metric tons, totaled more than 6 million pounds of cargo.
The high and heavy equipment was imported by U.S. flag ocean carrier Liberty Global Logistics, with Hansen Shipping Agency Inc. serving as the freight forwarder.
The Caterpillars were driven off the ship individually and moved to JAXPORT’s dedicated high and heavy staging area immediately adjacent to the berth.
The equipment will be loaded onto specialized trailers and transported to Caterpillar distributors through the U.S. Southeast by Hansen Specialized Transportation, the domestic transport division of Hansen Shipping Agency.
