RORO Ramp Height Clearance
RORO vessels have height limitations at the entry ramp. Boats that are too tall on the trailer may not be loadable. Here are steps to reduce overall height:
Slightly deflate trailer tyres to lower the overall profile (do not fully deflate).
Remove T-top, tower or tall removable structures.
Use a low-profile trailer if available.
Fold or remove outriggers, tall rod holders and antennas.
Measure overall height (ground to highest point of boat on trailer) before arriving at port.
Contact us in advance if overall height exceeds 4.5 metres for confirmation.
Essential checklist to ensure your boat is ready for shipping
Drain all water from tanks, bilge, livewell and cooling systems.
Ensure fuel tank is no more than ¼ full.
Remove GPS, fish finder and all electronic navigation equipment.
Remove antennas, rod holders and tall protruding accessories.
Remove or fold bimini top and canvas covers.
Ensure all hatches are securely closed and locked.
Remove all personal items, fishing gear and loose equipment.
