Hello, I get numerous of questions about the topic of. "What is the difference between Specialized & Heavy Haul Shipping."
- SPECIALIZED SHIPPING - Includes any large shipment size, weight or dimensions and demands special handling services during transit. Almost every industry has a form of Specialized Shipping such as: Oil and Gas to Manufacturing and Construction. (PREFERRED FLAT DECK LOWBOY , STEP DECK, FLATBED TRAILER)
- HEAVY HAUL SHIPPING - Any freight that exceeds the standard legal limit for size, which is set by the state, local and federal governments, is considered oversize or a heavy haul load. Heavy Haul Trucking may also be known as a superload, machinery hauling, oversize hauling, or heavy equipment trucking (PREFERRED MECHANICAL RGN, LOWBOY DROP SIDE RAIL, OR FLAT DECK LOWBOY TRAILER)
The difference is most is the dimension, Over dimension item is mostly classified as specialized in the industry. Heavy Haul is mostly Farm. Sea Port, Airport and Construction Equipment. Any thing that wheels, tracks, turntable that is set at being state legal weight or width.
Our sister company has modular drop side lowboy Quad Axle and Lowboy 3+3+2 Set Up is Modular Flat Deck. Most Heavy Haul Operators will take Specialized Shipment that is in their league of max. weight and length according to their equipment.
This department doesn't set rates for the trailer to transport goods. We look for manufactures that required a Lowboy service as a lifetime customer. If you have further questions that i didn't point out to your clarity, please feel free to contact the department or trailer manager
