Cost to Ship Heavy Equipment

Shipping costs for heavy equipment depend on several key factors related to the machine and shipping method. Larger and heavier equipment typically requires higher handling and freight charges.

Excavator Shipping Cost to Nigeria (RoRo)

Operational excavators such as CAT 320, 330, 336, Komatsu PC200/PC300, and similar mid-size units are commonly shipped via RoRo.

How excavators are rated for RoRo:
Tracked equipment. Excavators are rated based on operational status, overall dimensions, and track width. Units are driven or guided onto the vessel under their own power and secured in place.

Estimated RoRo price range (USA → ):
USD $8,500 – $14,500

Factors affecting price include:

• Operating weight

• Track width

• Height clearance

• Export port (e.g., Savannah, Baltimore, Houston)
  

Excavators shipped to Lagos (Apapa or Tin Can Island) typically fall within this range when fully operational.

Bulldozer Shipping Cost to

Bulldozers such as CAT D6, D7, Komatsu D65, and similar units are well suited for RoRo shipping if running and steerable.

How bulldozers are rated for RoRo:
Tracked and self-propelled. Bulldozers are rated by blade width, overall length, weight, and operational condition. Units must be able to move under their own power.

Estimated RoRo price range:
USD $10,500 – $18,500

Larger bulldozers (D8 and above) may exceed standard RoRo limits and require specialized handling, which increases cost.

Wheel Loader Shipping Cost to

Wheel loaders like CAT 950, 966, Volvo L90/L120, and Komatsu WA-series loaders are frequently shipped to for construction and port operations.

How wheel loaders are rated for RoRo:
Wheeled and self-driven. Pricing is based on overall dimensions, operating weight, and axle configuration. Wheel loaders are among the easiest machines to rate and load for RoRo.

Estimated RoRo price range:
USD $9,000 – $15,500

Wheel loaders are among the most cost-efficient machines to ship via RoRo due to their mobility and balanced dimensions.

Backhoe Loader Shipping Cost to

Backhoe loaders such as JCB 3CX/4CX, CAT 420/430, and Case 580 are some of the most commonly imported machines into .

Estimated RoRo price range:
USD $6,500 – $11,500

Their compact size and strong demand in make backhoes ideal for RoRo shipping.

Dump Truck & Heavy Truck Shipping Cost to

Dump trucks and heavy-duty trucks (Volvo, Mack, Freightliner, Kenworth) ship efficiently via RoRo since they are road-ready.

How trucks are rated for RoRo:
Road-driven vehicles. Trucks are rated based on axle count, overall height, length, and whether the unit runs and drives. Non-running trucks may require towing, which affects cost.

Estimated RoRo price range:
USD $7,500 – $13,500

Pricing depends on:

• Axle configuration

• Overall height

• Whether the truck runs and drives
  
  

Forklift Shipping Cost to

Forklifts and material handling equipment (Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Mitsubishi) are frequently shipped for warehouses, ports, and factories.

How forklifts are rated for RoRo:
Wheeled and self-driven. Forklifts are rated by mast height (collapsed), weight, and tire type. They are typically driven directly onto the vessel.

Estimated RoRo price range:
USD $4,500 – $8,500

Forklifts are among the lowest-cost heavy equipment exports when shipped via RoRo.

Agricultural Equipment Shipping Cost to

Tractors, harvesters, and other farm machinery from John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Case IH, New Holland, and Kubota are commonly exported to support agriculture projects across .

How agricultural equipment is rated for RoRo:
Mostly wheeled and self-propelled. Units are rated based on overall dimensions, tire width, and operational condition. Implements attached may affect rating.

Estimated RoRo price range:
USD $6,000 – $12,500

Self-propelled units ship most efficiently; oversized implements may require alternative methods.

Crane Shipping Cost to

Mobile cranes may qualify for RoRo depending on configuration, while crawler cranes often require project cargo.

How cranes are rated for RoRo:

• Mobile cranes: Wheeled and self-driven, rated by axle count, boom length, and overall dimensions

• Crawler cranes: Tracked and typically rated as project cargo unless dismantled
  
  

Estimated RoRo price range (mobile cranes):
USD $12,000 – $25,000+

Final pricing depends heavily on boom length, axle count, and overall dimensions.
