Minitrucks container loading

MOTO SHONIN has a vast experience of exporting minitrucks to USA

Minitrucks shipped by container

Shipping via container, gives us the possibility to deliver the minitrucks to places in the States which do not have immediate access to one of the main ports, or in cases when the buyer prefers the vehicles to be delivered directly to his facility inland.

Likewise, containers offer the possibility to load additional contents inside to go along with the minitrucks, like spare parts or wheels.

Minitrucks shipped by RORO

Minitrucks shipped by RORO vessel

RORO shipping (Roll on/Roll off) - a most convenient delivery method prefered by many, both start-up importers and long-time dealers, first of all for the comfort of bringing any number of vehicles, beign one or many, directly to the desired port, without the need to comply to some mandatory requirements as in the case of containers, where you need a specific amount of vehicles to make it cost effective.

Of course, MOTO SHONIN can ship both ways, as we have been doing for years now. Please see below examples of the multitude of vehicles shipped by RORO to USA.
