Shipping Methods to Oceania
Heavy Equipment Shipping Methods
When shipping heavy equipment, you can choose between RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off), container shipping, or breakbulk/flat rack options. The best method depends on the equipment type, size, weight, budget, and the level of protection or handling required during transit.
RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off)
Best for drivable machinery
- Drive-on, drive-off convenience
- CAT loaders, dump trucks, tractors
- Most cost-effective option
Container Shipping
Good for compact machinery
- Full container, maximum security
- Space for cars, machinery, or items
- Weather-protected and safe
Breakbulk / Flat Rack Shipping
Designed for oversized heavy equipment
- Suitable for large excavators and cranes
- Custom lifting and secure stowage
- Get full protection for your vehicle
RORO may suit operable rolling machinery on carrier-supported routes. Compact machinery can move in containers, while oversized equipment may need flat rack or breakbulk service.
