Every project manager knows that if the needed equipment isn’t available at the right time, construction grinds to a halt. Ensuring that equipment is onsite when it’s required calls for good management in planning transportation, allocation and mobilization of the needed resources. Every job is different and has its own set of challenges and requirements. The following are some tips for the best way to get construction equipment to your jobsite.

Plan Ahead

Whether you have a requisition center to draw upon or you’re responsible for arranging your own transportation, planning and foresight are critical. Heavy haulers are in high demand and the needed trailer may not be available if you wait until the last minute. Depending on the equipment, you may need a flatbed, drop deck, removable gooseneck, or perimeter trailer. They’re specialized transportation methods and designed for specific jobs.

Hire a Professional

Hiring a professional heavy hauler to transport equipment to the jobsite ensures it arrives on time. A professional hauler will have the experience to move your equipment safely and know the requirements for transporting even oversize loads to ensure the proper permits, signage and even escort vehicles are available.

Traceability

It’s absolutely critical to have a way to track, trace, and know when your equipment will arrive. That ability allows you to alter plans and assign work crews as needed. It’s one of the reasons that hiring a professional heavy hauler is so important. With modern technology, they can keep you informed at all times of where your equipment is located and its estimated time of arrival. It also enables you to schedule a pickup when applicable, maintenance or repairs.

Saving Money

The best way to get construction equipment to your jobsite is one that’s reliable, safe, and saves you money. That encompasses hiring professionals that are experienced and cognizant of the regulations and permits needed to get your equipment to your jobsite safely, on time and provides transparency through traceability.
