Manufacturing and industrial freight
Raw materials in, finished goods out. Plants depend on loads arriving when production needs them and leaving when they're ready.
Manufacturing freight ranges from boxed components to steel coils and machinery. The right trailer depends on the product, and on how the plant loads and unloads it.
What these shipments need
Matching freight to equipment
Coils, plate and machinery usually ride on open decks. Boxed parts and packaged goods move in dry vans. Accurate dimensions and weights let us match the trailer the first time.
Plant schedules
Shipping and receiving windows at plants can be narrow. We build pickup and delivery times around your schedule and confirm them with the carrier.
Loading method
Tell us if freight is loaded by overhead crane, forklift or from the side, and whether special securement such as coil racks or chains is required.
Questions we hear
Can you move machinery?
Machinery that fits within legal dimension and weight limits can usually move on a flatbed or step deck. Over-dimensional equipment needs permits. Send us the dimensions, weight and loading method, and we'll tell you whether we can arrange it.
What do you need to quote a steel coil load?
Coil weight, diameter and width, number of coils, whether they ship eye-to-the-sky or eye-to-the-side, and any tarp or securement requirements.
Have a load to move?
Send the shipment details and our team will review the lane, equipment and timing with you before quoting.
