Heavy equipment such as bulldozers, excavators, backhoes, and other construction or farm equipment typically is less expensive to purchase in the USA than in other markets. With good deals on new equipment there is no shortage of used equipment available for sale. This equipment is typically auctioned off at specialized auction houses such as Ritchie Brothers or Iron Planet.
There is a growing market for exporting this equipment to markets in South America, Africa, and the Middle East where the equipment can be put to good use or resold for a profit.
When bidding on heavy equipment for export, be sure and take into account all of your transportation costs. Your bargain purchase may well end up costing 3 or 4 times the purchase price if not done efficiently. You should factor in relevant costs such as dismantling, shipping to the port, permits, escorts, port fees, documentation, ocean freight, duties, taxes, insurance and other costs. You also need to consider the time it takes to get your purchase to it's destination.

After all, there are so many different forms of transport available that settling on one method without investigating them all would be irresponsible. Among the various options for shipping is air cargo. While air cargo may be the more expensive option open to you, it might be your best choice; but how can you be sure?
