When you need to transport heavy machines to and from your job site, you need the right equipment. SF Trailer provides the construction equipment transport options you require to ensure your machines safely get to where they need to go.
METHODS OF TRANSPORTING HEAVY CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
Whether you rent your machines or decide to purchase new ones, shipping construction equipment needs to be a safe and functional process. With the correct methods, you’ll have your heavy-duty machinery moved quickly and efficiently. Here are some of the ways we can help you transport your heavy equipment:
Flatbeds: Flatbeds are open trailers that attach to larger trucks. They are one of the most common ways to haul equipment because they are durable and can handle heavy loads. They also provide a level service, making loading and unloading your machines easier.
Towing: If you need something moved from a shorter distance, towing is a great option. Just be sure you know what preparations need to be done to your machine, such as checking the tires and gearbox, to ensure it can be towed properly. You’ll also want to check the tow vehicle to make sure it can safely handle the added weight of your equipment.
Special trailers: Some equipment options are oversized or heavier duty than others. In this case, it’s worth looking into specialized trailers, such as double drop and step deck, for your hauling needs.
Shipping: Do you need to send your equipment overseas? Your machine might be able to be driven onto and off the shipping vessel. Another option is a flat rack, which is like a flatbed truck. Your machine will simply be loaded onto the flat rack and put on the shipping vessel.
