Save time and money with RoRo shipping services

RoRo stands for Roll-on/Roll-off and refers to the transportation of wheeled cargo on ships with built-in ramps, including passenger vehicles, trucks and vans. This allows the cargo to be efficiently rolled on and off the vessel when in port. RoRo shipping is a popular choice for shipping cars and other vehicles because it’s fast, efficient and cost-effective.

Cost-effective

With RoRo shipping, there is no need to pack your cargo in a container, transport it and/or store it. This makes the overall costs lower than other shipping methods

Time Efficient

Without the need for extensive preparation, you can get your valuable assets to their destination quickly and efficiently with this service.

Simple and easy

The simplicity of this service means that it’s an easy shipping option for anyone to use. You simply roll your cargo onto the vessel and roll it off at the destination, without needing to pack or prepare your items in any special way.

Secure

RoRo shipping minimises the risk of damage to your cargo. With a specialised ramp, your items can be driven on and off the vessel without being lifted, reducing the risk of damage compared to other shipping methods.

RoRo shipping services - Ideal for machinery transport Australia

Thanks to its specialised design and operational efficiency, RoRo shipping actually stands out as the premier choice for transporting large, heavy machinery. Custom Brokers specialises in providing RoRo shipping services tailored to the unique demands of machinery transport. Our approach combines safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring your machinery reaches its destination in the same condition it left.

Why Choose RoRo Shipping for Your Machinery Shipment?

Compared to traditional containerised shipping, RORO offers several key benefits for machinery transport:

Faster Loading & Unloading
Drive-on, drive-off functionality facilitates quicker loading and unloading times, minimising delays and keeping your project on schedule.
Cost-Effective for Oversized Equipment
For oversized machinery that wouldn’t fit in a standard container, RoRo offers a more cost-effective solution compared to specialised container modifications.
Reduced Risk of Damage
RORO vessels are designed for efficient cargo movement. Machinery is securely fastened using lashing points, tie-downs, and experienced crews ensure safe manoeuvring, minimising the risk of damage during transit.

While weight and size limitations can vary depending on the specific route and vessel, most RORO vessels we encounter offer the following capabilities:

Door Height: A standard door height of 5 metres allows for the loading of most machinery.
Ramp Capacity: The RORO ramps are designed to handle machinery up to 100 tonnes, making them suitable for a wide range of heavy equipment.

If your machinery exceeds the standard limitations outlined above, don’t hesitate to contact us. Our team can explore alternative shipping options or assist with obtaining special permits if necessary to ensure your oversized machinery reaches its destination safely and efficiently.

Our RoRo Shipping Process Ensures a Smooth Journey for Your Machinery

Custom Brokers understand the complexities of shipping large and valuable machinery. That’s why we offer efficient and secure RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) services as a preferred method for transporting a wide range of machinery across Australia. Here’s what you can expect when you choose us:

Pre-Shipment Inspection
Our experienced team will visit your site to thoroughly inspect the machinery you plan to ship. This inspection includes:

Machinery Condition: We assess the overall condition of the machinery, identifying any potential issues that might require attention before shipping.
Access Assessment: We evaluate the access points at your location for cranes and floats to safely load the machinery onto the RORO vessel.
Cleaning Requirements: We determine the necessary level of cleaning required for the machinery to comply with international regulations and prevent the spread of contaminants.
Dismantling Considerations: For oversized or complex machinery, we collaborate with you to discuss the need for partial dismantling to facilitate safe and efficient RoRo transport. We can also help identify qualified tradespeople to assist with the dismantling process if required.

Our team is equipped with all the necessary measuring equipment, and our fleet includes 4WD vehicles to ensure we can reach your location, even in remote areas.

Secure Loading and Lashing
Once the machinery arrives at the port, our team will oversee the professional loading process onto the RORO vessel.
We utilise designated secure lashing points and tie-downs specifically designed for heavy machinery to ensure it remains stable and protected throughout the journey.
Our experienced personnel will meticulously secure your machinery, minimising the risk of damage during transit.

Seamless Transportation
With your machinery securely loaded, the RORO vessel efficiently transports it to the destination port.

Delivery and Offloading
Upon arrival at the destination port, our team coordinates the offloading of your machinery from the RORO vessel. We can also arrange for onward transportation to your final destination if required.

Transparent Communication
Throughout the entire RORO shipping process, we maintain clear and consistent communication with you. We keep you informed of the progress every step of the way, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.
