Preparing the Skid Steer and Mini Excavator for Transport

Tractor Transport is a trusted heavy machinery and oversized load transportation services provider in the country. We have specialized in the transportation of a wide range of tractors. We recently shipped a Bobcat 324 mini excavator and a Bobcat S175 skid-steer loader from Peninsula, OH 44263 to Cleveland, OH 44104. The request came from a dealership looking to expand their line-up. William Thomas was finishing up a job request and took on the task. Our agents relayed all the information provided by the client and William Thomas began processing the shipping request.

The different teams involved in the preparation of the heavy machinery must have efficient communication channels. Tractor Transport provided all the needed resources when the operation commenced. William Thomas delegated different responsibilities to each specialist. The operation was bound to be easy thanks to our previous operations transporting different heavy machinery. The heavy machinery was loaded on a step-decked trailer and the relevant documents handed to the driver. William Thomas went over the logistics of the operation with the driver before giving the green light.

The driver made the first stop after two hours on the road. He inspected the integrity of the tie straps and took a break. He fastened the straps as they easily become loose due to the movement. He then relayed the information to the dispatch team. When the shipment was close to the drop off point, he informed the client who made preparations to receive the heavy machinery.
