What type transport equipment will be needed for your shipment?
When it comes to deciding what type of auto transport equipment you need for your move you must consider some key requirements. What is your time frame you must have to move the vehicle? Does the auto, SUV, motorcycle or boat need to be in a fully enclosed trailer or can it be in an open trailer. Does your vehicle have any special requirements regarding ground clearance, width, height running or not running? Are there any other mechanical conditions that could require special handling? Be sure to tell your auto transport provider anything that would need special attention during the rate quote process. All of these elements of the car shipment will determine what type of equipment will be required for the vehicle shipment.
Will the transport provider be able to get a tractor and trailer into the area vehicle needs to be loaded at?
When it comes to transporter trailer type there are some key things to consider. A tractor trailer that could haul up to12 vehicles will give you the best pricing but will also take longer to get delivery because of the addition stops. The trouble with this piece of transport equipment is that is very long. In most cases over 60 feet long. This makes it difficult, if not impossible to get in and out of neighborhoods. There are smaller transport equipment types that haul 1 to 6 vehicles that could negotiate neighborhoods and expedite delivery time but if you’re moving the auto any distance these transporters will be very expensive compared to the larger transporters. One important option is consider if your vehicle could be moved to an area where the larger transporter could meet you to load the auto, SUV, motorcycle or boat that does have the space and accessibility for the larger equipment.
Flatbed trailers, step deck trailers and single car trailers for expedited or oversize vehicles.
Other options for your transport shipment are flatbed trailers. Flatbed and step deck transport for vehicles work well if you have over height, width or special requirements that won’t allow you to load onto multi auto truck and trailer equipment. In these moves your vehicle will need to be loaded with ramps often supplied by transport provider or from a loading dock. If you choose one of these options, be sure to discuss all aspects of the move before you select your provider. Important questions would include, loading and unloading, will your car be loaded in sequence that would allow it not to be moved off trailer until it arrives at destination. If the vehicle can be protected from road hazard, weather or any other possible occurrences while be loaded, unloaded and while in transit.
The key to selecting your auto transport provider is make a question list and ask a lot of questions before you get your transport quote and make your selection.
