Insurance For Hauling Heavy Equipment

More often than not, transporting heavy equipment goes smoothly and the shipment reaches its destination whether in Washington, Toledo, Florida or Columbus without a single scratch. But, if the worse scenario happens, then your valuable shifting can get damaged (sometimes beyond) repair and that can put a significant financial strain on your business.

Shipping companies are required by law to offer minimum insurance. But, ask yourself this: if something is to happen, will that be enough to cover the cost?

At A-1 Auto Transport, we like to consider all factors and look at a problem from different angles. So, we always encourage our clients to go beyond the minimum coverage required and minimize their risks as much as possible.

How to Prepare for Shipping

Before you ship your construction equipment, there are a few steps you should take to ensure it arrives safely. These include: • Remove any loose parts or attachments that could shift and cause damage during transport. • Drain all fluids from the machine. This includes fuel, oil, and coolant. • Inspect the machine for any signs of damage or wear and tear, and address them before shipping. • Securely attach any components that could move with straps, chains, or tie-downs. • Check your tires to make sure they are properly inflated before loading onto a trailer or flatbed truck.
