Additional Information: Rice Continental, based in Dungannon, is a family owned business specialising in the haulage of heavy and abnormal loads up to 150 tonnes. The business was originally part of a motor engineering company (Maurice Rice & Sons) and it was way back in 1966, as a result of this Company's on-going involvement in providing commercial vehicle engineering support to local quarry industries, that a decision was made to branch into transport and to offer haulage services to the local construction and quarry industry. By 1971, the Company was providing transport for the expanding export industry in Ireland to carry export goods like agro and engineering loads to mainland UK and Europe. That same year, it also secured its first quota of European Road Permits after establishing a number of trade links with French and German companies. Nowadays, with over 40 years experience and a comprehensive fleet of units and trailers, Rice Continental has built up the expertise to haul abnormal loads throughout Ireland, mainland UK and Europe - including as far afield as Russia and other east European destinations.  [back to: product list]
