QRS — Quarry Recycling Systems

In the heart of Northern Ireland, a synergistic partnership has emerged between Global Ocean Logistics Limited and Quarry Recycling Systems (QRS). Based in Dungannon, QRS is the official branded seller for Terex, the world’s largest machinery manufacturer.

Our experience as a leading logistics company in Northern Ireland has positioned us to handle complex needs, such as transporting large, out-of-gauge machinery from China and the USA. In April 2023, we undertook our biggest project to date with QRS — three large pieces of machinery shipped from Terex in Michigan, USA, to Belfast.

Despite competing against one of the world’s largest freight forwarders, our keen pricing strategy and expertise secured us the project. The machinery was collected from the Terex supplier on low-loader vehicles, transported to our warehouse in New York, then loaded, lashed and secured onto 40′ flat rack containers for transport.

Upon arrival at Belfast port, the machinery was delivered to QRS headquarters in Dungannon, where heavy cranes safely offloaded the equipment. Our partnership with QRS is an ongoing one, with more projects on the horizon.
