Maxton Shipping provides logistics services for agricultural equipment and products involving the safe and efficient transport of various agricultural commodities, including grains, fruits, vegetables, and heavy and often oversized equipment such as tractors, combines, harvesters, and other farm machinery.
Logistics services
Specialized Transport: agricultural equipment is often large, heavy, and awkwardly shaped, requiring specialized transport services. Logistics companies must have the expertise and equipment necessary to handle the transportation of these types of products. This includes access to flatbed trucks, lowboy trailers, and other specialized equipment designed for heavy or oversized cargo.
Route Planning: The transportation of agricultural equipment requires careful route planning to ensure that the equipment can be safely and efficiently transported from its origin to its final destination. Logistics companies must have the expertise to plan the best route, considering the equipment's size and weight, as well as any restrictions or obstacles along the way.
Warehousing and Storage: agricultural products often require specialized warehousing and storage facilities to maintain their quality and freshness. Logistics companies must provide storage facilities that can maintain the proper temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions necessary to protect the product from spoilage, damage, or theft.
Equipment Loading and Unloading: Loading and unloading agricultural equipment requires specialized equipment and expertise. We provide necessary equipment and skilled operators to load and unload equipment safely and efficiently, minimizing the risk of damage or injury.
Permitting and Regulatory Compliance: The transportation of agricultural equipment often requires special permits and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Insurance and Risk Management: The transportation of agricultural equipment carries a significant risk of damage or loss. We provide insurance coverage and risk management services to protect against potential losses or liabilities associated with the transportation of equipment.

Cold Chain Logistics: any agricultural products require temperature-controlled transportation and storage to maintain freshness and quality. We maintain proper temperature conditions throughout the supply chain.
Supply Chain Management: The agricultural industry requires an efficient and well-managed supply chain to ensure that products are produced, processed, and delivered in a timely and cost-effective manner. We optimize the supply chain and reduce costs while ensuring product quality and safety
