📦 Container Flatbed
Lorry loaded onto a flatbed inside a 40ft open-top container. For damaged or special lorries, requires professional rigging.

// 06 — Frequently Asked Questions
❓ FAQ — Shipping Lorry to Sabah.
How long does the lorry shipping process to Sabah take?
The entire process takes 7-12 days depending on ship schedule and lorry class. Sea transit Port Klang to Kota Kinabalu is typically 2-3 days. Includes documentation (lorries need more documents than cars), transit yard, RoRo, Sabah customs clearance, and final delivery.
How much does it cost to ship a lorry from Port Klang to Kota Kinabalu?
It depends on lorry class (1-Ton, 3-Ton, 5-Ton, 7-Ton+ or prime mover) and destination port (KK, Sandakan, Tawau). All include Allianz Marine Insurance and loading jockey — WhatsApp us for an exact quote promptly.
My lorry can't be driven, can you still ship it?
Yes, but using 40ft open-top container flatbed or heavy-lift vessel. Cost is higher — contact WhatsApp for a custom quote with lorry details (BDM, dimensions, reason for non-driveable).
Is there a jockey to drive the lorry onto the vessel?
Yes, we provide GDL-licensed jockeys to drive the lorry on/off the vessel at Port Klang and destination port. Cost is included in the RoRo price.
Can I ship a prime mover together with its trailer?
For prime movers, the trailer is calculated separately (requires additional vessel space). Contact us for bundled prime mover + trailer quote.
Is there additional insurance?
Price includes Allianz Marine all-risk insurance for the lorry value. For cargo inside the lorry (if any), separate cargo insurance is required. Contact us.
When is the balance payment due?
Balance after lorry confirmed arrived at Sabah port and before final delivery. WhatsApp notification provided.
What JPJ documents are required?
Owner IC copy, lorry grant copy, transport permit copy, driver GDL licence (if accompanying). For commercial lorries in Sabah, additional customs documents may be required.
Can the lorry be loaded with goods?
For RoRo, not recommended — lorry must be empty. To ship goods alongside, use container with TEU loading rules. Separate quote.
