Taylors Courier Service runs a full machinery shipping service for machinery bound for Cyprus. We arrive with the materials, pack on site, and take the goods away the same visit.
We pack machinery at your address to suit the piece, then load them into one vehicle for the journey to Cyprus.
Packed at your address and shipped via Road to a Mediterranean port with an onward sea leg to Limassol, then island road delivery from the port, with a typical transit into Cyprus of 8–12 days.

Why machinery are difficult to ship
Every one of these risks gets worse over a long journey to Cyprus, with loading, a sea or tunnel crossing and unloading at the far end.
That is why this is a survey-first job. We look at the piece, decide the materials, and then quote — rather than quoting a box size and hoping.
How we pack machinery
- Weight and lifting points confirmed before quoting
- Fluids drained or sealed
- Moving parts locked and guards fitted
- Skidded or palletised for handling at both ends
- Restrained to the load weight, evidenced by photograph

Getting it to Cyprus
Road to a Mediterranean port with an onward sea leg to Limassol, then island road delivery from the port. Typical transit 8–12 days.
Cyprus is in the EU, so an export declaration and Cypriot import entry apply. The sea leg governs the schedule, so dates are given as bands rather than promises.
Sailings are periodic rather than daily. Book early if the delivery is tied to a completion or a move-in date.

Frequently asked questions
Can you pack machinery at my address?
Yes — that is how we do it. We arrive with the materials, pack on site, and load the same visit. Nothing is left for you to finish and nothing is packed by somebody who has not seen the item.
How much does it cost to ship machinery to Cyprus?
Guide prices for this category start at Instant Quote. Crated, high-value, oversized or time-critical consignments priced on the specifics. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.
How long will it take to reach Cyprus?
Typically 8–12 days, routing via Road to a Mediterranean port with an onward sea leg to Limassol. If you have a fixed date, tell us and we will plan the crossing around it or tell you it is not realistic.
Do you provide lifting equipment?
We arrange loading and unloading to suit the machine — tail lift, forklift or a site's own crane. What we will not do is guess. Give us the weight, dimensions and lifting points and we will confirm the method in the quotation.
