Oversized doesn’t mean complicated. Let ASLG move your trucks safely and efficiently.

Shipping Options for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Breakbulk Shipping

Breakbulk works well for large or heavy vehicles that cannot fit standard containers. The vessel loads each unit separately, which can suit oversized trucks and project-based vehicle shipments.


RoRo Shipping

RoRo can suit wheeled or self-propelled vehicles when the route, vehicle condition, and vessel service allow it. Vehicles move onto and off the vessel through the ship’s ramp instead of using container loading.


Flat Rack Shipping

Flat rack containers can suit vehicles or equipment that exceed standard container dimensions but still meet the selected equipment and route requirements.

We review the dimensions, weight, and securing requirements before booking.

How We Prepare Heavy Vehicles for Shipping

Loading & Lifting

We review the vehicle weight, dimensions, lifting points, and port handling requirements before loading. For lift-on/lift-off movements, the loading plan must match the available crane and terminal equipment.

Lashing & Cargo Protection

Heavy vehicles need suitable securing during ocean transport. Depending on the shipment, we can arrange lashing, load securing, and protective measures based on the vehicle and shipping method.

Documents & Port Requirements

Required documents and permits depend on the vehicle, origin, destination, and shipping method. ASLG reviews the shipment details before booking and handles the agreed origin logistics and shipping documentation.

Heavy-Duty Vehicle Shipping FAQs

1. What is the best way to ship heavy-duty vehicles from China?

The right method depends on the vehicle size, weight, mobility, destination, and available vessel service. Breakbulk works well for large vehicles that cannot fit into containers. RoRo may suit wheeled or self-propelled vehicles, while flat racks can handle some oversized units.

2. Can you ship heavy trucks without dismantling them?

Yes, depending on the vehicle and route. Breakbulk or RoRo can transport some heavy trucks as complete units. We review the dimensions, weight, loading requirements, and vessel options before confirming the transport plan.

3. What information do you need for a heavy vehicle shipping quote?

We need the vehicle type, quantity, dimensions, gross weight, pickup location, destination, and ready date. Photos or technical drawings are also helpful. Please include the lifting points and whether the vehicle can move under its own power, if applicable.

4. How do you secure heavy vehicles for ocean shipping?

The securing method depends on the vehicle, vessel, and transport method. ASLG arranges lashing and load securing based on the vehicle specifications and loading plan.
