FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT

We arrange the right solution based on your equipment, destination and budget.

SECURE, ENCLOSED TRANSPORT

Containerized Shipping

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FIT

Ro-Ro vs. Container Shipping

Compare the practical advantages and limitations for your equipment.

Ro-Ro Shipping

Advantages

  • Drive-on / drive-off handling for suitable running equipment.
  • Often avoids dismantling vehicles and mobile machinery.
  • Can accommodate large equipment that will not fit a standard container.

Limitations

  • Non-running units need carrier approval and may require special handling.
  • Available ports, sailings and vessel limits can restrict the route.
  • Loose parts and items left inside equipment may not be accepted.

Container Shipping

Advantages

  • A closed container protects cargo from direct exposure to rain and dust.
  • Can carry non-running machinery with a suitable loading and securing plan.
  • Allows equipment and compatible parts to be packed together securely.

Limitations

  • Door openings, internal dimensions and payload limit what fits.
  • Dismantling, packing and reassembly may add work and cost.
  • Loading, bracing and unloading require suitable equipment and planning.

We compare both options for your equipment and route. Final suitability and price depend on dimensions, condition, carrier acceptance and the services included.
