Too wide for a shipping container.

Too wide for a shipping container.

Realise that but was maybe thinking that it could be put on its side and slid into a high cube 20ft container.

Could it be made fit into a container? I would make it a lot easier

Have a look in any Euro Auctions catalogue, I don't have one to hand @shumungus or I'd put in a photo of them but they list hauliers, some may be good some may be sh1t but worth a ring round

The first thing would be to ask whoever you are buying it from to load it. The next find a shipping agent and ask them to do it. We do a lot of machinery from UK to Kenya and do it all ourselves except for new stuff that we specify has to be containerised. It is a lot cheaper to containerise than use roll on roll and there are people who do it.
I try and avoid doing it myself as it’s hard work. My kids loaded two for me as a lockdown project last summer
