Frequently asked questions
What types of heavy machinery can you transport?
We coordinate inquiries for construction, agricultural and industrial equipment, including excavators, dozers, loaders, forklifts and tractors. Final acceptance depends on dimensions, weight, condition, route and suitable carrier availability.
How do I choose between a flatbed, step-deck and lowboy?
Provide the machine’s transport dimensions, actual weight, ground clearance and loading conditions. The carrier evaluates the appropriate trailer and loading method for the complete shipment.
Can you collect equipment from an auction or dealer?
Yes, subject to site access and carrier availability. Provide release documents, lot or buyer information, operating hours and the pickup contact before dispatch.
Can non-running equipment be shipped?
It may be possible with suitable winching or lifting equipment. Disclose whether the machine rolls or tracks freely and what loading assistance is available at both ends. Feasibility and extra services must be confirmed.
Are permits and pilot cars included?
Requirements and costs depend on the load and jurisdictions along the route. Confirm permitting, escorts, routing and loading responsibilities with the assigned carrier in the written shipment arrangements.
How is the equipment insured in transit?
Ask for the assigned carrier’s cargo insurance certificate and review applicable limits, exclusions and coverage for the equipment’s value. Record condition at both pickup and delivery.
