Delivery of mining, drilling, and heavy industrial spare parts often requires specialized logistics due to the weight, dimensions, and technical characteristics of industrial components.
Mining Drill & Rock Parts, operated by DSLN LLC, works with a global network of manufacturers, distributors, and professional logistics providers to arrange safe, efficient, and cost-effective delivery to customers worldwide.
1. How Delivery Works
Shipping arrangements are coordinated based on the specific order, destination, and logistics requirements outlined in the official quotation or order confirmation.
When preparing delivery options, the following factors are evaluated:
- destination country and postal / ZIP code
- weight, size, and packaging requirements
- urgency and requested delivery timeline
- available freight routes and carriers
- customs and import considerations
Based on this information, the most suitable delivery method is selected and confirmed in writing prior to shipment.
2. Available Delivery Methods
Due to the industrial nature of mining and drilling spare parts, a variety of professional freight solutions may be used.
2.1 Express Air Courier
Used primarily for urgent, lightweight, or time-critical spare parts.
Common carriers include:
- DHL
- FedEx
- UPS
- TNT
- Aramex
Actual transit times depend on the destination, carrier service level, and customs clearance.
2.2 Standard Air Freight
Suitable for medium-sized or higher-value shipments requiring faster transit than sea freight at a balanced cost.
Commonly used for:
- boxed components
- palletized cargo
- urgent industrial parts
Availability depends on airline schedules and cargo capacity.
2.3 Sea Freight (Heavy & Oversized Cargo)
Sea freight is the most common solution for large, heavy, or oversized mining and industrial components.
Available options may include:
- FCL (Full Container Load)
- LCL (Less than Container Load / groupage)
Sea freight is typically used for:
- engines and power units
- hydraulic assemblies
- drilling components
- structural or cast parts
- bulk or project shipments
Transit time depends on port routing, vessel schedules, and global freight conditions.
2.4 Consolidated LCL Shipments
For shipments that do not require a full container, consolidated LCL shipping may be offered.
Benefits include:
- reduced freight costs
- flexibility for smaller shipments
- access to international routes without full container commitment
Transit time varies depending on consolidation schedules and destination ports.
2.5 Road Freight (Regional Transport)
Road transport may be used for regional or cross-border deliveries, including:
- United States and Canada
- European Union and United Kingdom
- Australia (domestic transport)
- South Africa and selected African regions
- Latin America (where infrastructure allows)
Road freight is often combined with air or sea transport as part of multimodal logistics.
2.6 Rail Freight (Where Available)
Rail freight may be used in regions with established industrial rail networks, such as:
- North America
- European Union
- Brazil (selected corridors)
- South Africa
This option is typically applied to heavy pallets, bulk cargo, or long-distance inland transport.
2.7 Multimodal Logistics
For complex or long-distance deliveries, combined transport solutions may be used, including:
- Air + Road
- Sea + Road
- Sea + Rail + Road
- Hybrid Air–Sea routes
Multimodal logistics help optimize cost, availability, and delivery reliability.
3. Worldwide Delivery Coverage
Delivery is available to a wide range of global destinations, including but not limited to:
North America
United States, Canada, Mexico
South America & Latin America
Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, and other LATAM regions

- reinforced pallets
- moisture-resistant and corrosion-protective wrapping
- metal frames for heavy components
- shock-resistant materials
Packaging is selected to ensure safe handling throughout the transport process.
6. Customs, Duties, and Import Regulations
