Over 50 years of making sure we have the Right Tools is Important.

Russia Shipment update – With time running out before the Siberian winter sets in, additional cargo has been loaded at a Russian port and departed on 6,000km journey to the construction site. Thanks to all involved coordinating these shipments. Stay tuned for additional project updates.
Whether it’s a cross town move or a project half way around the world, think KMX International as your one-stop specialized transportation / export packaging logistics provider.
KMX crews recently supported a local customer with a scheduled armature switch out. The 120,000 lb backup armature (stored at KMX’s facility) was rigged out and transported for the planned outage. KMX crews are now in the process of constructing a new shipping frame to transport the “old” armature to a repair facility.
A Little Rigging and A Lot of Storage – KMX International’s Sister Rigging Company, “Mid-Atlantic Exporters, Ltd.” (MAX), provided in-plant rigging of some future Hospital Equipment; while simultaneously preparing this equipment for long term storage.
During the two day on-site rigging, the customer called to relay that the Crew (Michael Miller, Steven McGlone, William Jones, and Ray Tesman) were conscientious and helpful, providing a safe Rigging operation, as well as the need to comply with in plant COVID-19 Requirements. Plant employees appreciated the Safety and Respect shown and praised MAX employees for the extra effort in safety and compliance.
One stop warehousing after a lengthy storage period, KMX crews recently assisted OEM technicians perform contract inspections. Six units in total (70,000 – 85,000lbs each) were required to be removed from KMX’s long term storage building, remove wood packaging, and move each unit to an onsite inspection area. Upon completion of the inspections, KMX repackaged the units and returned them to storage mode. All work was coordinated within KMX’s in-house capacities allowing a smooth process while also controlling costs.
Another +120,000lb mill roll packed and ready for pier delivery.
Once again, KMX International has been recognized for its safe operations on the highway that encompasses more than just mileage and extend to a safe work culture espoused by both KMX’s management and its drivers while transporting cargo that due to size and weight, dictate usage of 13/19 axle equipment. KMX has won the Fleet Safety Award 2020 .. additionally, KMX has won the “Zero Accident Award 2020” .. an honor that has been bestowed to KMX for the past 17 years.

Greetings from Russia – It is always nice to receive positive customer feedback from almost half way around the world .. especially when KMX’s quality packaging is recognized! Our friend Kamil (who spent time at KMX’s facility during the packaging process) shared this photo at destination port. Although this piece already traveled more than 4,500miles by vessel, it still has another 3,700miles to go by truck. Stay tuned for updates.
Just like the good old days. KMX is happy to a part of the economic recovery.
Good to see cargo moving again!
Location, location, location – The old adage “location is everything” is a KMX mantra, and for good reason!
KMX’s strategic location is less than an hour from the major NE USEC ports. We have 250,000 sq ft of indoor heated, secure warehouse space with in-house riggers and a lifting capacity up to 400 tons. We have computerized cargo management software, offering a variety of reports on the status of your cargo at any given time. In addition to warehousing capabilities, KMX offers heavy-haul and specialized transportation services. All of our amenities allow KMX the opportunity to serve a variety of customers from LTL cargo to major US construction projects.
KMX recently received the last of 50+ truckloads (with pieces weighting in excess of 100,000 lbs) of project cargo which required a secure indoor storage area for 10 months. At a later date, KMX will be contracted to deliver this cargo to an East Coast construction site requiring a strict project sequence. With KMX’s “one stop shop” ability, our foreign client was ecstatic to learn of our capabilities. They are already talking to us about handling shipments for future construction phases.
