When you plan to haul a heavy load, it requires a lot of preparation and planning to ensure a safe, smooth transport to avoid damaging the equipment. Heavy haul trucking companies can help you develop the plan and strategies necessary to transport the load in the safest, most efficient way possible. The heavy haul trucking experts at Rojac Trucking, located in Wailuku, HI, explain the process of hauling heavy equipment.

To prepare for a move, the heavy haul trucker makes sure the truck they choose can accommodate the load. Trucking companies have many types of trailers available, including flatbed, gooseneck, and lowboy trailers. The trucker also determines if any permits for oversized loads are needed and makes sure that the equipment is placed correctly in the vehicle to balance the weight.

It’s important that the load is properly secured to avoid injuries and equipment loss. During the loading process, a chain is typically used for tying down heavy equipment and machinery.

Chocks or wedges are placed against the wheels of the heavy equipment to make sure it doesn't roll. The heavy haul trucker will also use edge protection to make sure the tie downs and equipment will not get damaged during the haul. Once the heavy equipment is loaded, it is inspected to verify that it is correctly secured to the hauling vehicle.
