When a fleet of heavy-duty trucks loaded with wrapped industrial machinery rolls out of SBM Group’s 600,000-square-meter manufacturing base in Shanghai, it marks the start of a journey connecting Chinese engineering expertise to construction and mining sites across 160 countries. For SBM—a leading provider of aggregate processing, ore milling, and green building material equipment—shipping isn’t just logistics; it’s the final link in delivering tailored solutions that drive infrastructure and resource projects worldwide.
At SBM’s facilities, the shipping process begins long before cargo hits the docks. After craftsmen weld and calibrate machines like the C5X jaw crusher or HPT cone crusher (the 1,800th unit of which was recently delivered), each piece is meticulously wrapped, secured on flatbed trucks, and prepared for multimodal transport. The company’s integration of its “Smart Mining Cloud Platform” ensures real-time tracking of every component, from factory floor to port: sensors monitor cargo conditions, while digital dashboards coordinate with freight forwarders to optimize routes.
For large-scale orders, SBM’s logistics team often partners with major shipping lines (like the vessels seen in the port terminal imagery) to handle oversize equipment. Customized packaging—including weather-resistant wraps and reinforced framing—protects machines during transoceanic voyages, while SBM’s global service network coordinates with local teams to arrange inland transport and on-site assembly upon arrival. This end-to-end approach has made SBM a trusted partner for projects ranging from highway aggregate production in Australia to ore processing plants in South Africa.
Behind every shipment lies SBM’s commitment to reliability. With ISO 9001 and CE certifications, and a 3% annual R&D investment in upgrading equipment and logistics, the company ensures that even the most complex orders reach clients on schedule. As a truck convoy departs SBM’s Shanghai base, bound for ports like Ningbo-Zhoushan, it carries more than machinery: it delivers the tools to build roads, process minerals, and advance sustainable infrastructure—one seamless shipment at a time.
