100 Orders, 1 Shipment
Sourcing from multiple factories? Don't ship separately. We collect, repack, and consolidate everything into one container. Save 50% on logistics.
Forwarders charge a minimum of 1 CBM even if you ship 0.1 CBM. Shipping 10 small boxes separately triggers this minimum charge 10 times.
Cost Waste: High
10 shipments mean 10 sets of customs clearance fees, 10 declarations, and 10 times the paperwork headache at both ports.
Admin Waste: Extreme
Factory packaging is often full of air to look "big". Shipping "as is" means you are paying expensive ocean freight to ship empty space.
Space Waste: Medium
We turn chaos into order.
From 10 suppliers to 1 shipment.
We coordinate with all your suppliers. Goods are sent to our central warehouse in Yiwu or Guangzhou. We offer 30 days free storage.
Upon arrival, we check carton quantity and condition. If a box is damaged, we reject it immediately before it gets on the ship.
We remove wasted space and weak cartons. We consolidate small boxes into master cartons. Reduce Volume = Save Money.
We load everything into one container. We handle one export declaration and issue ONE Bill of Lading for easy customs clearance.

A client needed to source 100+ different hardware items (screws, tools, safety gear) with a budget under $20,000.
Traditional forwarders refused the complex paperwork. We took over, collected goods from 15 suppliers, consolidated them into one container, and saved 50% on logistics costs.

Get Consolidation QuoteShipping machinery from China is not the same as shipping cartons. Excavators, loaders, generators, presses and production lines need the right Incoterm, the right container or breakbulk method, lashing and securing, and customs codes that match an industrial machine — not a box of parts. We handle machinery shipping from China end-to-end, from factory floor in Shandong or Jiangsu to the port or door in Central Asia, the CIS and beyond.
Machinery under 13 tons usually fits a 20ft / 40ft FCL container. Over-height or over-width units — a wide loader, a tall press — move on flat-rack, open-top or breakbulk. We measure every machine, choose the cheapest legal method, and never wedge an oversized unit into the wrong container.
We quote machinery shipping from China on FOB, CIF or DDP so you know exactly where our cost ends and yours begins. Industrial machines carry their own HS codes; a wrong code means a stuck container at the border. We declare the machine for what it is, with invoice, packing list, CE / EAC documents to match.
A machine that shifts in transit arrives damaged. Every unit is braced, lashed and blocked to its container or flat-rack, photographed before sealing, and covered by all-risk cargo insurance. For a US$40,000 excavator that one step is the difference between delivery and a write-off.
Indicative transit times for machinery shipping from China. Actual schedules depend on port congestion, machine size and the Incoterm you choose — we confirm a firm timeline with every quote.
Rail / multimodal via Khorgos & Alashankou. 18–30 days door-to-door. The fastest land route for Central Asian machinery buyers.
Sea to Poti / Batumi, then inland. 28–40 days. Good for heavy units that beat rail weight limits.
Sea to Hamburg / Rotterdam / Gdańsk. 32–45 days. Flat-rack and open-top available for oversized machines.
Sea to Jebel Ali / Bandar Abbas. 18–28 days. Frequent sailings keep machinery freight rates competitive.

XILINK was founded by a Chinese industrial-products exporter with 13 years sourcing and shipping machinery out of China. We do not just book a slot on a vessel — we know what an excavator weighs empty versus loaded, why a generator needs its battery disconnected for sea freight, and which border post will hold a machine with the wrong paperwork. For buyers across Central Asia, the CIS and the wider region, that experience is the difference between a machine that arrives and one that gets stuck.
We work in English and Russian, quote transparently on a three-party agreement so you see the real factory and freight cost, and consolidate machinery from several factories into one shipment when it makes sense — see how smart consolidation cuts your per-unit freight. If you are still deciding what to buy, our guide on buying machinery from China walks through the whole process, and for door-delivered pricing read about DDP shipping from China.
Common Questions
Cost depends on the machine's size and weight, the container or breakbulk method, the destination, and the Incoterm. A single machine in a 20ft / 40ft container to Central Asia or Europe typically runs a few thousand US dollars in freight; oversized units on flat-rack cost more. Send us the machine model and your destination and we return a firm FOB, CIF or DDP rate, with no hidden margin.
Yes. Machines that exceed standard container dimensions move on flat-rack, open-top or breakbulk, with the unit lashed and braced for sea or rail. We measure each machine first, then choose the cheapest legal method for its exact width, height and weight.
Roughly 18–30 days to Kazakhstan and the CIS by rail or multimodal, 28–45 days to Europe by sea, and 18–28 days to the Gulf. Times vary with port congestion, machine size and the Incoterm; we confirm a firm timeline with every quote.
Yes. We prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and the CE or EAC documents your market needs, and we declare each machine under the correct HS code so it is not held at the border. On DDP terms we also handle import clearance and delivery to your yard.
Yes — that is our core service. If you are buying machines, attachments and spare parts from different suppliers, we collect everything at our consolidation hub, inspect it, load it into one container, and ship it as a single export. That removes duplicate minimum charges, customs fees and wasted container space.
