Comprehensive Freight Forwarding for Elevator Imports

Handling elevator imports requires a detailed understanding of the cargo’s composition, packaging needs, shipping timelines, and regulatory documentation. Cargoburg simplifies this process through a comprehensive freight forwarding service designed specifically for high-value, oversized, and mechanically complex imports.

Our elevator logistics workflow includes:

1. Global Freight Coordination

We coordinate shipments from elevator manufacturers across the world, including suppliers in Germany, China, Italy, the USA, and South Korea. Whether it’s a complete lift system or separate mechanical and electrical components, we manage origin logistics, arrange consolidated or full-container shipping, and ensure secure loading for sea or air transport.

2. Pre-Arrival Documentation

Elevators are governed by multiple Nigerian import regulations, including SONCAP (Standards Organisation of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Program), Form M processing, and PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report). Our documentation team ensures all requirements are met before cargo arrives—reducing port delays and avoiding penalties.

3. Customs Clearance at Nigerian Ports

As a licensed customs clearing agent, Cargoburg handles all aspects of clearance—from classification under appropriate HS codes to duty payment and cargo release. Our team maintains strong working relationships with Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), SON, and other agencies to ensure compliance without disruption.

4. Cargo Handling and Haulage

Elevator components can include long rails, heavy motors, and fragile control panels. We use certified lifting equipment, container de-stuffing protocols, and project cargo trailers to ensure safe inland transport to your destination site. Whether you’re working on a commercial tower in Lagos or a government building in Port Harcourt, our last-mile delivery is engineered for speed and safety.

5. Temporary Storage and Warehousing

Construction sites may not be immediately ready to receive elevator equipment. Cargoburg offers secure warehousing options in Lagos, Port Harcourt, and other cities, where cargo can be held short-term or long-term until it is ready for site deployment.

6. Project Logistics for Multi-Elevator Imports

For large developments such as shopping malls, hotels, or multi-building complexes, we offer phased logistics support—delivering elevator components in coordinated batches, according to your build schedule. We liaise with procurement managers, site engineers, and contractors to streamline deliveries and ensure zero delays in installation timelines.
