For the 20,000-layer automatic cage project in Uganda, reliable transportation is as essential as high-quality cages, feeding systems, and automated equipment. Livi Machinery not only manufactures advanced poultry systems but also provides comprehensive logistics and transportation services to ensure every component reaches the customer safely and on time.
1. Comprehensive Logistics Planning
From the very beginning of each project, our logistics team designs a complete transportation plan. We optimize the packaging dimensions and adopt modular structures to maximize container space utilization and simplify unloading and reassembly at the project site.
2. Professional Packaging & Protection
All key components — such as cage frames, automatic feeding systems, egg collection belts, and control units — are carefully packed with anti-rust coating, vibration protection, and wooden crates to prevent moisture, corrosion, and damage during long-distance shipping.
3. Multiple Transportation Options
To ensure efficiency and cost control, Livi uses a combination of transport modes tailored to each customer’s location:
- Sea Freight (Main Route): Large equipment is shipped by sea to major East African ports like Mombasa or Dar es Salaam.
- Inland Transport: Heavy trucks or flatbed trailers deliver equipment from the port to the farm site, with route planning based on local road conditions.
- Air Freight (Urgent Parts): For time-sensitive spare parts or installation accessories, air freight is used to avoid project delays.

4. Customs & Documentation Support
We are experienced with Uganda’s and neighboring countries’ import regulations. Livi provides complete shipping documents — including packing lists, invoices, certificates of origin, and safety/material declarations — ensuring smooth customs clearance and avoiding extra port fees or delays.
5. Insurance & Risk Management
All shipments are covered by comprehensive transportation insurance, including sea, port handling, and inland delivery. We clearly define delivery terms (such as FOB, CIF, or DDP) in contracts, protecting our clients from unexpected risks or losses.
6. On-Site Delivery & Unloading Assistance
Before arrival, our logistics team assesses road accessibility, bridge limits, and unloading conditions at the customer’s farm. We coordinate local logistics partners and provide guidance or assistance for unloading and temporary storage, ensuring a smooth transition from shipment to installation.
Highlights from the Uganda Project
- Modular Prefabrication: Livi preassembled certain parts in China to reduce shipping volume and simplify on-site installation.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Dedicated logistics staff tracked every stage — from factory loading to sea shipment and inland transport — keeping the customer updated.
- Backup Planning: Time buffers and standby air-freighted spare parts minimized downtime and ensured the project stayed on schedule.
