The transport of large items is especially complex due to their size and characteristics. It is usually done by land, if it is within a country or across a continent, or by sea, if the transfer is from one country to another and it is necessary to cross the sea or the ocean.

The agricultural industry has large-scale machinery that needs to be renewed from time to time for better yields in the fields and in the crops, as well as to achieve greater sustainability and reduce the carbon footprint. Whether it is tractors, fertilizer spreaders, seeders, harvesters or a grain trailer, the fact is that entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector want to receive the machine or vehicle at their farm days or weeks after the sale. This forwarding operation needs to be safe, fast, efficient and as economical as possible.
