Heavy Haul

Heavy haul shipping is a specialized transportation service that involves moving large, oversized, or overweight cargo that cannot be transported using standard trailers or trucks. These types of shipments require specialized equipment, such as flatbeds, lowboys, or multi-axle trailers, to safely and securely transport the cargo.

The process of heavy haul shipping involves careful planning and coordination to ensure that the cargo is transported safely and efficiently. Before any shipment, the transportation company conducts a thorough evaluation of the cargo’s dimensions, weight, and other specifications to determine the most suitable equipment and route for the job. This includes obtaining all necessary permits and approvals from regulatory agencies and ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations.

Once the shipment is ready to be moved, the transportation company carefully loads the cargo onto the specialized equipment and secures it with chains, straps, and other restraints to prevent any movement or damage during transport. During the transport process, the transportation company provides continuous monitoring and communication to ensure the cargo is delivered safely and on time.

Heavy haul shipping is a critical service for industries such as construction, mining, and oil and gas, which require the transportation of large, heavy equipment and machinery. Without the expertise and specialized equipment provided by heavy haul shipping companies, these industries would face significant challenges in moving their goods and completing their projects.
