Container and cement transport across Sri Lanka

Our own prime movers take import containers from Colombo port to your door, bring export boxes to the terminal before cut-off, and carry bagged cement and construction material anywhere in Sri Lanka.

We move your container both ways

For imports and exports alike, our dispatch team plans the truck, handles the gate paperwork and returns the empty.

  2. Pick-up from the terminalJCT, SAGT, CICT or the yard where your container is held.
  3. Delivery to your doorYour warehouse, factory or site anywhere in Sri Lanka, at the time you set.

Transport questions we get asked

Do you transport import and export containers?

Yes. We collect import containers from JCT, SAGT, CICT or the yard once customs has released them, deliver them to your door anywhere in Sri Lanka and return the empty to the depot. For exports we bring the empty to your factory, wait or drop while you load, and gate the laden box in before the vessel cut-off.

Do you transport cement?

Yes. We carry bagged cement on flatbed trailers and in containers, from the factory, port or packing plant to distributors, hardware stores and building sites. Tell us the route and the tonnage per trip and we will quote per trip or per month.

Can I hire a prime mover on a monthly contract?

Yes. We place trucks at your site on a monthly contract with a fixed rate per route. This suits factories and distributors with steady volumes.

Which areas do you cover?

Colombo port and the yards around it, the free zones at Biyagama, Katunayake and Koggala, and delivery anywhere in Sri Lanka that a prime mover can reach.

Can you clear customs as well as deliver?

Yes. Our customs desk prepares the CusDec and gets the release, and our trucks then deliver the container, so you deal with one company for the whole job.

How do I get a transport rate?

Send the pick-up and drop location, the container size or cargo weight, and the date through the quote form or on WhatsApp at +94 77 711 8658. We reply the same working day.
