About us
What is RORO shipping?
RORO (Roll-On, Roll-Off) shipping is the most inexpensive way to transport your heavy equipment and machinery overseas. As the name implies, your machines “roll-on” to the vessel when they initially load, and “roll-off” when they arrive at the destination port.
In fact, your equipment will be driven on its own wheels directly into the freight ship, secured for shipping, and offloaded in the same manner.
RORO shipping is suitable for a wide range of cargo, including agricultural, mining, and construction equipment, trucks, travel trailers, boats, water trucks, ambulance transport trailers, and so on.
Benefits of RORO shipping for heavy equipment
We transport all kinds of heavy machinery, from dozers, to dump trucks, RV’s, and excavators to motor graders, forklifts, log loaders, and more.
Your heavy equipment rolls on a RORO ship directly and rolls off to the port of destination without waiting for the containers to be unloaded and sorted.
We partner with the best RORO carriers worldwide (WWL, Kline, Grimaldi / ACL, Sallaum, NYK, and Hoegh, so we can offer you high-quality complete services.
With RoRo, your freight is shipped ‘as is’, without additional dismantling or reassembling costs. No matter the size of your shipment, we adapt to your needs.
Heavy equipment hauling from USA and Canada to Africa
We provide heavy equipment transportation services from the United States and Canada to African countries (Angola, Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, and Nigeria). So we know how important it is to get ready for the process and prepare both the transport documents and the cargo itself.
Some tips to prepare your freight:
-
let your equipment functional but disconnect any alarm systems;
-
secure all loose parts;
-
make room for the carrier company to pick up the heavy equipment;
-
have all the necessary documents ready, or make sure that the heavy haul transportation company has prepared them in advance;
-
cover any part of the equipment that you do NOT want to be exposed to external factors (if shipped outdoor);
-
the transit time depends on the route but lasts basically between 17 and 48 days.
For customs clearance when shipping your heavy equipment overseas you need an invoice or bill of sale from the seller. It must show full seller and buyer information, unit year/make/model/serial number, and a 0 balance.
You should also know that destination ports have their own requirements and regulations for cargo, including specific cleaning and inspection requirements.shipped units

inland transportation to and from the shipyard and the RORO shipping service equipment required.
