For heavier items of cargo, there simply is no other option than to opt for shipping. Things like vehicles, industrial machinery, airplane equipment, military supplies and oil and gas instruments, all need to be transported. And whilst shipping allows you to do that in a straightforward manner, you need to be certain that you can trust your partners on the other end. Heavy lifting capabilities can only be found with certain companies, yet, luckily, we are one of those. That makes us one of the very best partners you could choose, for the handling of your heavy cargo. With the proper resources in both Seattle and Tacoma yards, you can find the support you need, in us, no matter your destination. The next time you need a serious load being handled, know that you can place your faith in us.
Heavy Lift Classification
There are countless things which could be included within the classification of a heavy lift. But instead of it being based off of the type of load, it is specified with a list of criteria. It must be an indivisible load, weighing at least over one ton. However, this weight could extend right the way up to exceeding 1000 tons. And, typically, any heavy lift cargo is going to exceed 100 meters, in either width and height, or both. As one of the
heavy lift shipping companies in Seattle we know the heavy lift cargo handling procedure. Having a heavy lift vessel is not something that all trucking companies in Washington have.
Local and Regional Transport
We know, that your heavy
cargo is going to need to be
transported securely, once it reaches its destination port. From both Seattle and Tacoma, you may need to send your shipment over a local or regional distance. But that will need the proper vehicles to do, if you are going to guarantee its safe arrival. To manage this, we have a number of vehicles in our fleet, which are able to safely and legally carry large loads. Each is equipped with a state-of-the-art flatbed, designed to handle a number of tons worth of goods, securely.
