A progressive shipping stand includes a stage one assembly, and a stage two assembly. The stage one assembly and the stage two assembly together define a first profile, and the stage two assembly alone defines a second profile, smaller than the first profile. The stage two assembly may be attachable directly to a load. The stage two assembly is operable independently in a discrete support configuration and is selectively cooperable with the stage one assembly in a full support configuration. The shipping support allows for large machinery such as a turbine or the like to meet at least one shipping criteria that would not otherwise be feasible using a standard shipping support.
