Insurance For Hauling Heavy Equipment

Federal law requires all freight shipping companies to carry insurance to compensate clients in case of an accident or loss. But since heavy machinery and equipment can be extremely valuable, your equipment may exceed the minimums required by law. If this is the case, additional insurance is necessary to protect your shipment.

While the risk of damage, loss, and other complications is low, it’s not a good idea to take any chances. If you think your equipment is valuable enough to require additional insurance, A-1 Auto Transport will help you explore your options for additional coverage.

How to Prepare Your Heavy Equipment for Shipping by Hauling Company

If you're looking to ship heavy equipment from San Francisco to Southern California—such as long beach CA—you have quite a difficult task ahead of you. To ensure your heavy equipment arrives in its original condition, here are 7 steps to prepare heavy construction equipment for shipping with a reliable oversize load shipping company:

back of a trailer truck

First, document the size and weight of your heavy equipment before packing. Make sure it doesn't exceed the capacity of the hauling company's heavy equipment transporter, which is vital for insurance purposes. Second, make sure any attachments (pumps or hoses) are removed and all loose components are packed in frames that are palletized for extra protection.

Third, check whether your heavy construction equipment requires disassembly for safe loading and unloading; most oversized material does require de-erection. Fourth, drain any grease or fuel and attach warning signs to keep transport safe for others on road. Fifth, check that all four sides of heavy items are padded to provide extra cushioning.

Sixth, waterproof heavy equipment properly before packing it securely onto a cargo box or in a container; if it comes with protective covering materials such as tarps or shrink wrapping - use them! Finally, hire an experienced oversize load shipping company who knows the right way to ship heavy construction equipment with requirements following specific laws and regulations across state boundaries.
