Sold this like new 3″ Proline dredge to a fellow down in Florida. All of our dredges shipped are crated in wood crates and shipped by a quality shipping company. Crating and shipping to Florida cost $420.00. From Florida he plans on taking it up to BC for mining next year. Crating consists of plywood (OSB) and wood, mostly 2 x 2 fir framing for a solid crate. We have shipped well over 100 dredges crated like this with zero damage or issues. Also have shipped several out of the country, some ocean freight, some air freight. Air freight get a little tricky as there can not be any gas or oil in the engine. Draining the gas and oil is not acceptable to shipping folks, don’t ask me, I don’t make the regulations. All this due to hazardous material residue. What that means is that a new engine must be installed for air freight, which we will do. Ocean freight takes longer, and the cost is usually about half air shipping. Rules are much less stringent.
