Features
Platform trucking is a specialized type of delivery that involves the use of low-bed trailers or semi-trailers for the transport of large and heavy shipments. This method of transport has a number of features that distinguish it from other types of transport.
First of all, such vehicles used for transport have a low footprint and a high load capacity. This allows efficient and safe transport of even the most complex structures, such as construction machinery, industrial equipment, large-sized metal structures, etc. The low landing of the machinery platform ensures a low center of gravity of the load, which increases the stability and safety of the shipment, especially on curves and uneven road sections.
In addition, the surfaces have a number of design features that make them ideal for transporting oversized and heavy items. For example, many platforms are equipped with retractable extensions that allow for a wider platform width and more even weight distribution. They can also have removable or hinged sides, making loading and unloading easier.
Another feature of such shipments is the need for careful route planning and special permits. Due to the size and weight, transporting on site often requires coordinating the route with road authorities and obtaining permits for road transport of oversized or heavyweight consignments. This can increase the time and cost of transport, but is essential to ensure the safety and legality of the consignment.
The loading and unloading process has its own peculiarities. It often requires the use of specialized equipment such as:
- cranes;
- manipulators;
- loaders, etc.
This is due to the heavy weight and dimensions of the structure, which do not allow for manual loading and unloading. In addition, the loading and unloading process must be carried out with special care to avoid damage to the consignment and to ensure that it is securely fixed to the surface.
Finally, deliveries by such a platform require a special approach to ensuring safety during the movement. Platforms are equipped with special fasteners and clamps to securely fasten the structure and prevent its displacement during movement. In addition, when transporting oversized and heavy structures, escort by cover vehicles are often used, which provide additional safety on the road.
What kind of shipments are the sites used for?
Cargo transport by platform is indispensable for transporting special machinery, construction equipment, and industrial machines. In addition, it is actively used for transporting containers, reinforced concrete products, metal structures and other non-standard consignments.
Delivery peculiarities
The process involves several stages. First, our specialists carefully study the characteristics of the shipment, its dimensions and weight, after which they select the optimal type of surface and develop a transport route. Next, loading is carried out using specialized equipment - cranes, manipulators, loaders. After that, the structure is securely fixed on the surface using fastening straps, chains and other devices. Then the transportation process starts along the pre-designed route with observance of all necessary safety measures.
Advantages
Platform trucking has a number of undeniable advantages over other types of transport.
- Firstly, almost any size and weight can be shipped this way, which makes them indispensable for transporting large and heavy equipment.
- Secondly, the low surface landing provides high stability of the structure during transport, which minimizes the risks of damage or overturning.
- Thirdly, trucking is characterized by high speed of delivery and accuracy in meeting deadlines, which is especially important for business and industry.
How is the price for freight transport by flatbed formed?
The cost of the service depends on several factors. First of all, it is dimensions and weight - the bigger and heavier the cargo, the higher the cost of transport will be. Secondly, the price is influenced by the distance of transport - the further it is necessary to transport the structure, the more expensive the service will cost. In addition, the cost of a trucking platform can be affected by the need for special permits and approvals, as well as the use of additional equipment for loading and unloading.
