Case Study: Kubota M6800 Loader from Virginia Beach to Michigan
Here's how we handled an urgent transport of a 2005 Kubota loader M6800 that needed quick delivery to Michigan for a construction deadline. When time's tight and equipment's heavy, you need the right team and the right plan.
We coordinated a loader transport that needed to move fast without compromising safety or compliance.

What Made This Tough
Time was our biggest challenge with this one. The client needed their Kubota M6800 loader on-site before the week's end to keep their construction project moving. On top of that, we had to properly secure a machine with a swinging bucket and ensure all loose components were properly managed and documented for the loader transport.

Special Handling: Bucket securement
How We Handled It
Our specialist Jason took point on this job, bringing in experienced handlers for the operation. We used tie straps specifically for the bucket to prevent any movement during transit. Every item inside the cabin was checked and secured, with detached components carefully documented and given to the driver for reassembly at delivery.
The planning had to be precise. We coordinated with our network of affiliates at the destination to prepare for efficient offloading, getting everything ready before the loader arrived.
How It All Worked Out
The transport was completed within the 9-hour window as planned. Our driver made the delivery ahead of the client's end-of-week deadline, and the equipment was ready for immediate use at the construction site. The client specifically noted their satisfaction with the quick turnaround.
What We Learned

Pre-positioning receiving teams saves crucial time

Detailed component documentation prevents reassembly issues

Specialized securing methods for movable parts are essential

Bottom Line
Getting a Kubota loader across state lines on a tight deadline takes more than just a truck and trailer. It's about having the right team in place, from dispatch to delivery, and knowing how to handle every step efficiently while maintaining safety standards.
