Need to ship an engine, gearbox, transmission or automotive parts from Europe overseas?

Britannia Export provides professional international engine and gearbox shipping from Europe, arranging palletised freight and export transport for customers, garages, vehicle dismantlers, parts suppliers and businesses worldwide.

From a single diesel engine on a pallet to a complete engine and gearbox shipment, we can arrange transport from Portugal and other European locations to destinations across Africa, Australia and worldwide markets.

We specialise in vehicle exports and automotive freight, meaning your shipment is handled by a company that understands the particular requirements involved when transporting engines, gearboxes and heavy mechanical components internationally.

International Engine Shipping from Europe

Shipping an engine internationally requires more than simply putting it onto a pallet.

Engines are heavy, contain residual fluids and need to be secured correctly before being accepted for international freight.

Britannia Export can assist with the transport of:

Diesel engines
Petrol engines
Complete engine assemblies
Engines with ancillaries
Commercial vehicle engines
Truck engines
Van engines
4x4 and passenger vehicle engines
Industrial engines
Used replacement engines
Reconditioned engines

Whether you have purchased an engine from a supplier in Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe, contact us for an international shipping quotation.

Gearbox & Transmission Shipping Worldwide

We also arrange international gearbox and transmission shipping from Europe.

This includes:

Manual gearboxes
Automatic transmissions
Truck gearboxes
Van gearboxes
Transfer boxes
Differential assemblies
Axles
Engine and gearbox packages

Heavy units can normally be transported using pallet freight or specialist freight services, depending on their dimensions, weight, collection location and final destination.

Engine & Gearbox Pallet Freight

For many international shipments, pallet transport is one of the most practical methods of moving an engine or gearbox.

The unit should normally be secured to a strong pallet or suitable timber base and prepared to prevent movement during transport.

Correct preparation may include:

Strong export-quality pallet
Engine or gearbox securely strapped or bolted down
Stable weight distribution
Protective wrapping
Oil and fluid drainage where required
Protection against leaks
Accurate dimensions and weight
Suitable access for forklift handling

For heavier truck engines, engines with gearboxes or unusually large mechanical components, additional freight arrangements may be required.

Send us the collection postcode, destination, dimensions, weight and photographs and we can assess the most suitable shipping option.

Shipping Complete Engines and Gearboxes on Separate Pallets

Large engines and gearboxes do not always need to travel together on one pallet.

Depending on their total weight and dimensions, it can sometimes be more practical to ship the engine and gearbox on two separate pallets.

This can improve handling and allow the freight to remain within the carrier's individual pallet weight and size requirements.

We can advise on the best arrangement once we know exactly what is being shipped.

Truck Engine Shipping from Europe

Britannia Export also handles enquiries for heavy truck engine shipping worldwide.

We can arrange quotations for engines from manufacturers including:

Scania
Volvo
Mercedes-Benz
MAN
DAF
Iveco
Renault Trucks
Nissan
Mitsubishi
Toyota
Isuzu
Hino

Truck engines can weigh hundreds of kilograms and, in some cases, close to or above one tonne.

Providing accurate information from the beginning is essential.

When requesting a quotation, please include the engine make and model, approximate weight, pallet measurements and collection address.

Engine Shipping from Europe to Australia

Australia is an important destination for European engines, truck components and specialist automotive parts.

Britannia Export can arrange quotations for engine and gearbox freight from Europe to Australia, including shipments to major destinations such as:

Sydney
Melbourne
Brisbane
Perth
Adelaide

Heavy engines may require specialist pallet or consolidated freight arrangements.

Customs clearance, import requirements and any Australian biosecurity obligations at destination remain important considerations, particularly when shipping used automotive components.

Parts should therefore be clean, securely packed and free from unnecessary contamination or fluid leakage before shipment.

Engine & Gearbox Shipping to Africa

Britannia Export has extensive experience arranging vehicle and cargo exports to African markets.

We can assist with enquiries for engines, gearboxes and automotive components destined for countries including:

Nigeria
Ghana
Senegal
Sierra Leone
Guinea-Bissau
Namibia
Zambia
Mozambique
Kenya
Tanzania
Malawi
Zimbabwe
Botswana
South Africa

The most appropriate shipping method will depend on the country, cargo size and final delivery requirements.

More Than Just a Freight Quote

International automotive shipping can involve several different stages.

Depending on the shipment, Britannia Export can assist with coordinating:

Collection from the seller or supplier
Pallet freight
Export transport
Freight booking
Commercial shipping documentation
Port or terminal delivery
International freight
Communication between supplier and customer

Our objective is to provide a straightforward solution for customers who have purchased an engine, gearbox or vehicle component in Europe and need to get it transported overseas.
