Forklift Hauling Best Practices
When we haul forklifts, we follow standard procedures to ensure the safety of our workers and those on the road around us. Our fleet has several types of trucks to make loading and unloading vehicles easier. It consists of:
- Removable gooseneck lowboys
- Rollback tilt beds trucks
- Standard flatbeds
- Standard drop decks
- Landoll hydraulic slide-axle tilt step decks
Beyond the specific trucks we use to transport machinery, we also make sure we follow protocols before hitting the road. To ensure your forklifts get to their next destination safely, our professionals follow practices like:
- Weighing the forklifts to ensure we use the correct forklift transport vehicle
- Inspecting your forklift’s condition before loading it onto the trailer
- Checking that the wheels are chocked so the forklift doesn’t roll
- Loading the forklift so it’s centered on the trailer with the forks tilted forward and on the floor
- Disconnecting the gas supply
- Using chains and other fasteners to secure the forklift to the truck
- Assessing the setup and confirming that the forklift clears the height requirements for bridges and overpasses
By running inspections and ensuring the wheels are chocked, we confirm the forklifts we are transporting are in good condition and secure before we begin the journey to deliver them.
