Bring Facility and Equipment Details Together
List the Cargo and Its Shipping Form
Distinguish the machinery’s operating size from its prepared shipping size. Tell us whether it will be crated, covered, dismantled or mounted on a base, and include the gross weight of the complete shipping unit.
Confirm the Loading Resources
Let our heavy haulers know whether cranes, forklifts or other loading resources will be available at pickup and delivery. Provide the relevant equipment handling instructions and the contact responsible for each facility.
Coordinate Receiving Requirements
Share appointment windows, access restrictions and any sequence in which components need to arrive. Request protective covering when needed and explain any owner-provided packaging instructions during quote planning.
Industrial and Energy Shipping Questions
Can several pallets travel with one large unit?
List all pieces in the quote request, including pallet dimensions and weights. A shipment-wide weight should not be mistaken for the weight of an individual component.
What information helps with a large enclosed unit?
Send overall dimensions, gross weight, photos, support requirements and loading arrangements. Include any attachments or projections that remain in place during transportation.
Does a photo establish permit or escort requirements?
The photo shows the equipment arrangement for that shipment. A new move needs review using its actual dimensions, weight and route before specific transportation arrangements are confirmed.
