Heavy equipment haulers<\/strong> do exactly as their name describes – they transport huge construction<\/a> machines from point A to B. Due to their size, heavy equipment haulers cannot be easily driven on normal roads over long distances and need certified operators to use them. Special training is required to control the haulers while moving heavy equipment to ensure the heavy equipment is safely secured. Because of their niche market, many moving companies charge a hefty sum of money and set their fees relative to distance, size and complexity of the request.<\/p>\n

An Open Flatbed Hauler Trailer<\/p><\/div>\n

Flatbed trailers are commonly preferred for heavy equipment hauling. Drivers steer the machine up a steel ramp like the dozer in the picture and they\u2019re good to go. The weight needs to be distributed accurately to prevent any mishaps. For that to happen, the equipment<\/a> is fastened tightly\u2013 even machines have to buckle their seatbelts. In the case of bad weather, extra safety measures should be in place like a protective sheet and extra fasteners.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

A Closed Hauler Trailer<\/p><\/div>\n

The closed hauler trailer is the other type of trailer used in heavy equipment hauling. Typically, closed haulers have better protection but are unable to accommodate larger machines. A general rule of thumb is to choose a closed hauler if your equipment fits. This is more apparent during bad weather not only for shelter, but security as well. With the container itself being pretty heavy, and the need to have custom vehicles to operate it, it is costly for companies to offer closed hauling services. This is why it is also more expensive and has size limitations. Drivers have to be extra careful when taking corners with closed haulers because of the rigid trailer. However, closed haulers are well worth the hassle for the extra protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
