Heavy equipment hauling services is a type of trucking service that involves the transport of large, bulky or oversize loads. Heavy haulers typically use flatbed trailers for moving steel on a flatbed trailer, as this type of trailer offers several advantages for heavy hauling. Flatbed trailers can be easily loaded and unloaded, and they offer a wide surface area that helps to distribute the weight of the load evenly. In addition, flatbed trailers can be equipped with various types of load-securing devices, such as chains or straps, to help ensure that the load does not shift during transit. As a result, flatbed trailers are often the best option for heavy hauling.
Flatbed moving companies have to consider the type of coils being transported and how they need to be loaded to avoid damage. There are two styles of loading coil racks for flatbed trailers: shotgun and suicide. The shotgun style is when you let the “eye” of the coil face forward, while the suicide style is when the “eye” of the coil is facing the side of the trailer or is pointing up at the sky. The proper way to load carbon steel coils onto a flatbed trailer depends on the specifications, so it’s important to consult with a heavy haul transporting company before transport.
