Heavy, abnormal and project cargo handled properly.
Rice Continental specialise in the haulage of heavy and abnormal loads up to 150 tonnes, backed by route planning, permits, escorts, lifting support and international paperwork.
From a single machine to a full production-line relocation.
Complex freight succeeds when the practical details are handled early: vehicle combination, access, loading method, route restrictions, authority applications, ferry timing, customs paperwork and delivery contacts.
