Logistics solutions for mining, energy and remote project sites
Specialised freight forwarding for mining equipment, solar energy projects and oil & gas operations.
From heavy mining machinery and solar photovoltaic panels to oilfield equipment and critical industrial components, EPSYLOG helps businesses coordinate complex international shipments from China to Africa and worldwide.
Logistics solutions for energy, mining & industrial projects
Energy and mining project solutions are tailored to the cargo type and destination. They require coordinated supply chains, reliable equipment deliveries and careful planning across suppliers, ports, borders and project sites.
Whether you are building a solar power plant, developing a mining operation, maintaining an oilfield or importing industrial machinery from China, EPSYLOG can help organise the logistics behind your project.
Our approach focuses on three priorities
Technical cargo requirements
Identifying suitable transport methods for heavy, oversized, fragile or specialised equipment.
Supply chain coordination
Managing collections from Chinese suppliers, consolidation, freight arrangements, documentation and delivery planning.
Project schedules
Aligning shipments with procurement deadlines, construction milestones and operational requirements.
With EPSYLOG, you benefit from a China-based logistics partner coordinating the different stages of your international supply chain.
Mining equipment shipping & mining logistics

Frequently asked questions about energy & mining logistics
How can I ship mining equipment from China to Africa?
Mining equipment can be shipped by container, flat rack, RoRo or breakbulk vessel, depending on its dimensions, weight and handling requirements. EPSYLOG helps coordinate supplier collection, international freight, export preparation and destination transportation arrangements.
What is the best shipping method for excavators, crushers and drilling rigs?
The most suitable method depends on the equipment’s size, weight, configuration and destination. RoRo may be suitable for certain rolling machinery, while flat-rack or breakbulk shipping may be required for oversized, non-rolling or exceptionally heavy equipment.
How do you ship solar panels safely from China?
Solar panels are commonly transported in containers using manufacturer-approved packaging, pallets and securing methods. Protecting the modules against impact, movement and inappropriate stacking is essential. EPSYLOG can help coordinate freight and cargo-handling arrangements based on the shipment’s specifications.
Can solar panels, inverters and lithium batteries be shipped together?
Depending on the equipment, transport mode and applicable regulations, certain products may be transported within a coordinated shipment. Lithium batteries require separate classification and documentation checks and may be subject to dangerous goods requirements and carrier approval. Each shipment must be assessed before booking.
Does EPSYLOG offer logistics services for solar farm projects?
EPSYLOG supports the international movement of solar panels, electrical equipment, mounting structures and other project materials. Services can include supplier coordination, consolidated shipping, freight forwarding, documentation and phased delivery planning according to the project requirements.
Can EPSYLOG ship oilfield equipment and drilling machinery internationally?
Yes. EPSYLOG can coordinate freight solutions for oilfield tools, drilling components, industrial pumps, compressors, valves, pipes and related project equipment. The shipping method is selected based on cargo characteristics, route availability and required handling procedures.
Can heavy mining equipment be delivered to remote project sites in Africa?
Remote-site delivery may be arranged depending on road conditions, bridge restrictions, equipment dimensions, local permits and available specialised transport providers. EPSYLOG can help review these requirements and coordinate a suitable transportation plan where feasible.
How much does it cost to ship mining equipment or solar panels from China?
Shipping costs depend on cargo dimensions, weight, quantity, departure location, destination, transport mode, handling requirements and current freight rates. Oversized cargo, special lifting and inland transportation can add costs. EPSYLOG can prepare a customised quotation using your shipment specifications.
How long does it take to ship energy or mining equipment from China to Africa?
Transit times vary by origin, destination, vessel schedule, cargo type, customs procedures and inland delivery requirements. Heavy or oversized equipment may also require additional preparation and handling. EPSYLOG can provide estimated transit options after reviewing your shipment.
What shipping documents are required for mining, solar or oil & gas equipment?
Common documents include the commercial invoice, packing list and transport document. Depending on the destination and equipment, additional certificates, import approvals, conformity documents, technical specifications or special transport permits may be required.
What information is needed to request an energy or mining logistics quotation?
Provide the cargo description, number of pieces, gross weight, packed dimensions, pickup address, destination, expected shipping date and applicable Incoterms. For oversized equipment, include technical drawings and handling information. For batteries or regulated cargo, provide the relevant product and safety documentation.
