What kind of trailers do you have for handling heavy equipment?
Our specialty is transporting heavy construction, agriculture, oilfield goods, and other types of equipment throughout Alabama and across the nation. Our solutions, resources, and trucking equipment are tailored to the specific needs of each business.
For example, a common option in our heavy haul fleet are our flatbed trailers, which offer a maximum weight of 48,000 pounds.
For many extremely heavy loads or super loads we’ll utilize one of our removable gooseneck RGN trailers (also called a step deck trailer). The maximum weight of this trailer is over 150,000 pounds. This option is ideal for shipping equipment that is over the maximum height for hauling inside a trailer.
No matter what specialized transportation is required —whether a gooseneck, flatbed, or one of our drop deck trailers—our oversized trucking team will match your unique shipments to the best trailer for the job, and guarantee to load and deliver it safely and professionally.
