Construction project managers who are responsible for construction projects must make sure that equipment and materials arrive on schedule and when needed, at the job site.
Part of the construction managers planning process and responsibilities are to secure and schedule the shipment of cranes, earth moving equipment, material handling equipment and all other construction materials, on set schedules.
Heavy Haul Trucking companies are the key providers of transportation solutions to get these items to your job site when you need them, then haul away equipment when you reach project completion.
The transport of construction equipment requires knowledge and experience, due to the particular hauling requirements for this type of equipment. These requirements range from special trailers to special permits, special tie-down or securement procedures, and the need for full use of the trailer when these movements are made.
In addition to the above, the hauling service and their drivers have to comply with new federal regulations regarding tie-down, trailering and hauling of heavy equipment.
Working with an experienced heavy haul service will make these challenging transportation projects easy and competitively priced. Since experienced heavy haul services perform these types of hauls every day, they are familiar with the requirements and costs of such moves.
