Our Heavy Equipment Transport Methods
Transporting heavy equipment requires specialized trailers and methods to handle the machinery's size and weight. Our logistics partners use different types of trailers based on the specific requirements of the equipment being transported.
Flatbed Trailers
Flatbed trailers are versatile and commonly used for transporting heavy equipment. They provide an open platform that can accommodate various sizes and shapes of machinery.
-
Advantages: Easy loading and unloading, suitable for oversized loads.
-
Limitations: Limited protection from weather elements.
Lowboy Trailers
Lowboy trailers have a lower deck height, making them ideal for transporting tall equipment that cannot be transported on standard trailers due to height restrictions.
-
Advantages: Can carry taller loads, lower center of gravity for stability.
-
Limitations: Limited to specific types of equipment.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) Trailers
RGN trailers are designed for transporting extremely heavy and oversized equipment. The gooseneck can be removed, allowing the equipment to be driven onto the trailer.
-
Advantages: Suitable for very heavy loads, easy loading and unloading.
-
Limitations: More expensive than other trailer types.
