Typical flows: CNC machining centers, milling machines, cutting and pressing lines, dust extraction systems, gluing lines. Key European suppliers -- Germany (HOMAG Group Stuttgart area, Weinig Tauberbischofsheim, Altendorf Minden), Italy (SCM Group Bologna, Biesse Group Pesaro), Austria (Felder Group Hall in Tirol). Machine weight: 5-20 t for main units; tooling and accessories typically ship on a separate standard truck.
Precision woodworking machines cannot tolerate excessive vibration or tilt. When a machine exceeds 8-10 t or its dimensions make a standard ramp angle impractical, a low-loader is required. Real case: 18 t and 12 t CNC machines from the Stuttgart area -- the 18 t unit was 4.2 m wide on its base, just under oversized limits when loaded correctly. A 50-ton mobile crane at the Latvian factory was required; these machines cannot be unloaded by forklift. The crane must be pre-booked, floor load capacity verified, and unload sequence matched to install sequence. Transit Stuttgart to Latvia via Poland: 4 days.
For equipment exceeding 2.55 m width or 40 t gross vehicle weight, country-specific permits are required: Sondergenehmigung in Germany, zezwolenie ponadnormatywne in Poland, CSDD permit in Latvia. Processing takes 3-7 working days; route planning includes bridge and terrain analysis.
Document set: CMR, CE Declaration, dimensional sheets with weight and size breakdown per unit, EX1/T1 customs documents, packing list with unit-level marking in install sequence.
