Oversized - Heavy Equipment Shipping
No load is too wide, too long or too heavy for DelfinLog. Transportation of oversized and heavy cargo is our specialty, and we pride ourselves on finding economical and creative ways to deliver it.
Shipping oversized and heavy equipment requires a different approach than what you would use for standard-size shipments. When it comes to shipping equipment, size and weight can pose a challenge. By understanding these challenges, you can mitigate the risks and ensure that your equipment arrives at its destination safely and securely.
Shipping oversized or heavy equipment presents some unique challenges, most importantly, these types of shipments can require specially designed shipping containers, transportation vehicles, and handling equipment. Additionally, oversized shipments may require detailed permit applications or pilot/escort vehicles, also equipment has to be properly secured. This is especially important during transport, as the equipment may shift or move during transit. To address this issue, we use specialized straps, chains, or other securing devices to keep the equipment in place.
Another challenge in shipping oversized and heavy equipment is navigating the various regulations and permits required for these types of shipments. Depending on the size and weight of the equipment, we arrange the neccesary special permits or licenses from state or agencies. These permits may be required to ensure that the equipment can be safely transported on public roads or highways with our experienced team members.
In some cases, we use specialized transportation vehicles to move oversized or heavy equipment like flatbed-lowbed truck or lowboy trailer to transport. These types of vehicles are designed to accommodate the size and weight of oversized equipment, and may have additional features like hydraulic lifts or ramps to make loading and unloading easier.
Ultimately, the key to successful oversized and heavy equipment shipping is careful planning and attention to detail. By understanding the unique challenges of these types of shipments, DelfinLog can take steps to mitigate risks and ensure that their equipment arrives at its destination safely and on time with a professional vision.
