A critical part of our mission as a company is to “create transportation solutions” for our customers. Not all solutions are the same. We often find ourselves thinking outside the box in order to offer the right solution. It’s second-nature to us, and this practice has generated some really cool opportunities. A prime example of this relates to heavy cross-dock (aka heavy trans-load) projects.
Let’s consider a real life example. We were recently asked if we could handle trans-loading several heavy bundles of steel from an ocean shipping container to a flatbed trailer. We were told by the customer that nearly every other transportation company they contacted declined the opportunity, because the weight of the steel bundles exceeded the standard lift capacity of most forklifts. The job seemed too complicated for these other companies.
Fortunately, we have the right resources in place to complete projects like this. It starts with our team. We have a team that has experience handling heavy freight. In fact, we love it! We can also easily mobilize the necessary equipment, such as a heavy forklift and the yard/dock space to get the job done.
