What you need to know when preparing for heavy machinery transport
Transporting heavy machinery involves a lot of preparation to ensure the cargo is safely and efficiently moved to its destination. Here are some of the steps involved in preparing for heavy machinery transportation:
Thorough assessment
Before transportation begins, the hauling company professionals assess the machinery to ensure that it is in proper working condition and well-packaged for transport. This is important to prevent damage during the transport process.
Complete risk assessment
The hauling company must conduct a full risk assessment to identify any potential risks associated with the transport process. They minimise risks to ensure a safe and successful operation.
The hauling team must have protective clothing, equipment and specialised vehicle configurations. They must also check the type of machinery being transported and how much protection it requires against the elements. This information determines the best route and mode of transport.
Using the right tools and equipment
Determining the right tools, vehicles and machinery required to move the equipment is important. Larger or heavier machines may need a crane for lifting and loading onto trailers, while smaller or lighter items can use dollies and manual transport equipment. The right type of connectors and fittings should be used to fasten the machinery during transport.
