Typical equipment
Flatbed, step deck, or RGN/lowboy depending on weight and height
Machinery freight ranges from a single replacement part shipped LTL to a multi-ton production machine requiring a flatbed, step deck, or RGN heavy-haul move. The right equipment depends on weight, height, and whether the machine can be loaded with a forklift/crane or needs to be driven or winched on. KeepShippin matches machinery to the correct trailer type and coordinates securement (chains, binders) and any required oversize permits.
