How is heavy lifting equipment shipped from China?

Cranes and large lifting equipment typically ship disassembled in standard containers (20ft/40ft) for reassembly on-site, or as break-bulk cargo for very large components. A standard 5-ton overhead crane fits in one 40ft container. Installation requires certified riggers and typically takes 1-3 weeks depending on complexity. Chinese manufacturers usually provide installation supervision.
