Machinery, Vehicles and Specialist Cargo

ROLAND TRANSPORT LTD are market leaders in the shipping of machinery, vehicles and specialist cargo. We have over 50 years combined experience with heavy machinery and equipment and are able to advise the best method of transport, type of shipping and most cost effective solutions. 

We can use any combination of the following to best suit your needs and budget. RoRo (roll on/roll off), LoLo (lift on/lift off), ships Mafi trailers, containers and flatracks. 

We understand that in some instances you can dismantle machines and ship them separately which can save you a considerable amount of money. If you are a machinery dealer please contact us for an independent price as our cost savings can make the difference to whether you sell a machine or not.

ROLAND TRANSPORT LTD can handle individual machines or complete packages for a project or contract.  We have recently shipped an entire theme park from the UK to the USA, including all the machines, rides and equipment.  For this project we employed RoRo and Container transport methods. We handled the entire operation from door to door including all transport, shipping and delivery. The UK office looked after the delivery to dock, shipping, export customs and marine insurance, while the North American office handled the US customs importation bonds, and delivery to site.  A project of this calibre shows the merits of using ROLAND TRANSPORT LTD to handle the entire project from start to finish or door to door. Let your tendering and operations team concentrate on getting the contract and let ROLAND TRANSPORT LTD concentrate on getting the equipment there.

We have an extensive database of machinery specifications to call on in order to assist with your enquiry. Our in-depth knowledge makes the process of shipping heavy equipment with us simple, easy and hassle-free. 

If you are buying from overseas, we can have a machine inspection carried out on your behalf. We are also able to verify the company you are purchasing the machine from to ensure they are who they say they are and the machine is as advertised. We use this procedure to help our customers avoid fraudulent transactions and bogus websites.
