Frequently Asked Questions
Is special preparation needed before towing heavy machinery?
Most machinery benefits from simple preparation steps before transport. This may include lowering booms or arms, securing loose attachments, locking pivot points, disconnecting batteries, checking for leaks and ensuring fluids will not spill during movement. Operators may request exact dimensions or weight details beforehand. Good preparation makes loading faster, improves safety and helps the machinery travel without unexpected issues.
How do operators secure heavy machinery during transport?
Operators use chains, tensioners, straps and anchor points rated for the machinery’s size and weight. They position the load to maintain balance across the truck or trailer, then tighten restraints to prevent movement during braking or cornering. Additional checks along the route ensure nothing loosens. Load placement, restraint strength and proper angles all play key roles in safe, secure transport.
What affects the cost of heavy machinery towing?
Costs vary based on machinery weight, distance, access difficulty, oversized load requirements and the equipment needed for loading. Travel time, after-hours requests and special conditions such as uneven ground or restricted entry points can also influence pricing. Providing accurate details about the machine and its location helps avoid unexpected charges and ensures the right transport setup arrives on site.
