Yes. We are specialists in transporting all types of rollers both domestically and internationally. Our logistics services cover the entire range of roller compactors, from smaller rollers used for yard work, private projects, or tight spaces, to heavy-duty vibratory rollers with two drums used for paving asphalt on construction sites.
We also manage logistics for specialized rollers, including sheepsfoot rollers for silty clay and coarse soils compaction, or grid-design rollers for crushed rock and weathered rocks.
The delivery time for compaction equipment depends on the distance, shipping method, and destination. Transporting a roller via ground to a local job site can be very quick. Shipping a large asphalt roller overseas via ocean freight will take significantly longer. During the quote process, our team provides an accurate transit time estimate for your specific roller and route.
Yes, we provide comprehensive insurance coverage to protect your high-value rollers during transit. Machinery like a roller with complex vibration systems or a heavy diesel-powered roller is a significant investment. Our insurance ensures your asset is protected from the moment we pick it up until it’s delivered, whether it’s for asphalt work or compacting damp sand.
The required documents for shipping rollers depend on the route and destination. For international moves, you will generally need a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and potential export/import permits, especially for more specialized projects. Our team provides a comprehensive service, managing all compliance and documentation to ensure your roller meets all regulations, avoiding delays at customs.
Yes, we provide full door-to-door service for all rollers. We can arrange pickup directly from a job site, auction house, or manufacturer. We manage the whole journey and deliver your roller directly to its next construction work destination, whether it’s for a highway project handling heavy traffic or preparing a site for cold-laid bituminous paving.
