// 06 — Frequently Asked Questions
❓ FAQ — Shipping Heavy Machinery to Sarawak.
How long does heavy machinery shipping to Sarawak take?
The entire process takes 17-24 days depending on machinery type and ship schedule. Sea transit Port Klang to Kuching typically 5-8 days (flatbed slower than RoRo). Includes permits, low-loader transport, Sarawak customs clearance, and site delivery.
How much does it cost to ship an excavator from Port Klang to Kuching?
It depends on machinery class (forklift, excavator, crane, bulldozer), dimensions & weight, and destination port. A standard 20-Ton excavator ships on a flatbed vessel; 50-Ton+ needs heavy-lift. WhatsApp us for an exact quote within 24 hours.
Can RoRo be used for heavy machinery?
No — RoRo is only for wheeled vehicles. Heavy machinery requires flatbed or heavy-lift because of track-based traction or dimensions exceeding RoRo standard.
