Hauling and Shipping CAT 988H Wheel Loader

Hauling and Shipping CAT 988H Wheel Loader in 1x40 HC and 1x40 OT Containerizing to overseas

When United Heavy Haul professionals requested to haul a CAT 988H Wheel Loader, we took upon it as a challenge and a responsibility to deliver the special and beneficial equipment of the customer safely. The request was to haul and ship this important piece of equipment with a size of 40'X12.75WX13.42H and a weight of 110000 lbs. Moreover, the transportation was to be conducted from the state of Illinois to the Middle East Port. Carrying such a heavy piece of equipment in oversized shipping over a huge distance required a high level of expertise and care. 

The Procedure 

The team of United Heavy Haul LLC began with obtaining permits and the trucks essential for the transportation. While the equipment was also quite big, it was important to dismantle the equipment to transport it. The team dismantled the unit in the dismantling yard so that it could fit in 1x40HC and 1x40 OT for ocean freight. With great precision and care, United Heavy Haul LLC successfully shipped the equipment to the final destination. 

The experience mentioned above might have given you a hint of how we work and how customer satisfaction is of utmost importance. We also suggest the transportation mode and the vehicle be utilized for the respective equipment to be carried and carry out equipment to and from the port.

Hauling CAT D10R Dozer from TN to Wilmington Port

When United Heavy Haul LLC received the request to haul a CAT D10R Dozer Wheel Loader, we saw it as a task. It was our duty to deliver the customer's prized and precious equipment. CAT D10R measures 25' X 11,37 W X 13.45 H. That's correct, 120000 lbs. of heavy equipment had to be delivered with precision and skill. Carrying such an oversized piece of equipment shipping from port to port in an overloaded package over such a long distance required a high level of skill and attention to detail. 

It is not simple to transport equipment from the port safely and legally. A standardized loading, transporting, and unloading routine is not alone a best practice when dealing with some of the large pieces of machinery ever produced by humanity. 

We recommend following these recommendations for transporting equipment to port safely.

• Conduct a documented risk assessment

Risk assessments are proactive compliance documentation demonstrating how extensive and thorough your fleet management systems are. Consider including one in your equipment transportation planning procedure. They can be performed by senior management or supervisor. It covers the whole operation and transportation duration, weight loads, relevant project dangers, and what has been done to solve them.

• Protection Equipping Sites

We can not emphasize enough how important safety is to the industry. Wearing personal protective equipment is a safety norm throughout preparing for safe and legal heavy freight transit.

Documenting Personal protective equipment (PPE) is also a risk-mitigation tactic. You'll have a complete risk assessment and permit application if you include all the safety practices.

• Examine the Towing Capabilities of Your Truck or Trailer

The next step in preparation for heavy equipment transfer is to inspect the items that will be conducting the actual hauling. A thorough check of your trailer or vehicle should cover the following:

• Lights

• Tires

• Tie-Down Point

• Brakes

• Weight

The security precautions for safe loading operations are:

• Delegate Responsibilities

• Clear and level the loading area  

• Clean the ramp and trailer

• Level the loading area.

• Start the machine 

• Start Chaining Down Heavy Equipment

Procedures for unloading equipment safely

• The Discharge Area Must Be Cleaned up and Leveled

Take the time to check and clear the designated unloading space in the receiving yard before the vehicle arrives.

• Perform a Walk-Through

Direct the transport truck to the exact unloading location. Once the trailer is parked, clean and prepare the ramp for deployment. 

• Release the Load

Unwrap chain that has become coiled around the links before beginning to loosen tie-downs with their adjustable tool boomers.

• Carefully lower the heavy equipment down the ramp.

Keep a safe distance between the device and its spotter. All focus should be on carefully ushering it down.

• Finishing Touches

Before sending everyone out, conduct a last ground examination of all equipment, the transport vehicle, anchor points, and tools.
