Rice Transport & Plant Sales is proud to announce its official appointment as a dealer for SDLG (Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery) in Ireland—marking an exciting new chapter in the company’s continued growth.

With over 40 years of hands-on experience, Rice Transport & Plant Sales has built a strong reputation as a trusted, family-run business specialising in haulage, commercial vehicle repairs & servicing, and heavy-duty machinery maintenance. This new partnership reflects the company’s commitment to evolving with the needs of the industry while maintaining the same core values of reliability, honesty, and practical expertise.

SDLG, a globally recognised manufacturer backed by the Volvo Group, is known for producing durable, cost-effective construction equipment designed for real-world working environments. Their range includes excavators, wheeled loaders, rollers, and skid steers—engineered with simplicity, strength, and efficiency in mind.

As part of this new dealership, a director from Rice Transport & Plant Sales recently visited SDLG’s warehouse and logistics operations, gaining first-hand insight into the brand’s quality standards, manufacturing processes, and aftersales support. This ensures that customers in Ireland will receive not only high-performance machinery, but also dependable local support and service.

Through this partnership, Rice Transport & Plant Sales will offer a full range of SDLG equipment, including:

• Excavators from 2 to 50 tonnes

• Wheeled loaders with bucket capacities from 500kg to 10 tonnes

• Skid steers and rollers

By combining decades of local industry knowledge with the strength of a global manufacturing partner, Rice Transport & Plant Sales is now uniquely positioned to deliver reliable, efficient, and fully supported machinery solutions across Ireland.

This announcement will be showcased at the upcoming ICE Expo, where the team will be available to discuss the new SDLG range and what it means for customers in the Irish market.
