time sensitive freight forwarders, they specialize in handling complex itineraries,
international destinations, fragile cargo and time-critical

Some of
Rock-It's Hottest
U2 - ZOOROPA
TOUR
Rock-it transport U2 to War-torn territory in Sarajevo
U2 had made a pledge during their ZOOROPA TOUR several years
earlier, that they would give a concert to raise awareness
of the horrors and conditions under which the people of
Sarajevo were living. The only “window” available in their
POPMART world tour schedule was between shows in Italy, and
Greece (a 2 day slot)... and Rock-it Cargo provided the
total logistics solution.
Michael
Jackson Tour 1996
The Michael Jackson "History" world tour of 1996 was a
groundbreaking event for Rock-it Cargo UK. Working to
support colleagues from Rock-it Cargo USA, we coordinated
the shipping of approximately 300,000 kilos of tour
equipment around the world using three large Antonov AN124
cargo aircraft.
Phil
Collins
Rock-it Cargo provided a charter solution for 60,000-kilos
of production equipment for Phil Collins during his tour of
the Far East. Specialist experience and knowledge was the
key to success. This shipment required a member of Rock-it
Cargo to be present during customs inspections, to supervise
loading to transporters and organize shipping after
clearance - all 60,000 kilos at each location!
Rock-it Cargo: Film & Entertainment
Shipping
Shipping camera equipment, film sets, production equipment
and even outside broadcast recording trucks requires expert
planning and execution. Small or large, TV and film projects
receive the full Rock-it Cargo service - we look after the
fine detail so that our clients can get on with the job.
Rock-it Cargo: Theatres & Orchestras
Shipping
theatrical sets, stage equipment, shows and orchestras on
tour is a specialist skill of Rock-it Cargo's performing
arts services. Theatre props, sets, lighting, instruments
and all manner of support services can be packed, loaded and
shipped to the next stop on tour.
From arranging full cargo charters for the
Los Angeles Philharmonic to getting a tympani drum from
London to New York and back to Glasgow on an incredibly
tight deadline for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Rock-it
Cargo now count on an increasing number of prestigious
international orchestras as their clients.
Close coordination with orchestra management, travel
agencies and our team of partner agents world-wide ensures
that classical concert touring is becoming an increasing
part of our business. Coordinating
the arrival of shipments with the arrival of orchestra
personnel, supervision of pallet-builds and local handling,
specialized stowing of certain instruments; all specific
requirements for orchestras on tour.
Rock-it Cargo will work with orchestra
personnel and promoters closely to ensure all these unique
requirements are met to the customer’s satisfaction.
Recent successful concerts tours include:
• Czech Philharmonic Far East tour
• BBC Concert Orchestra USA tour
• BBC Symphony Orchestra Far East & Australia tour
