How to Ship a Cold Planer?

Since a cold planer is such a large piece of equipment, only certain transport companies will have the capabilities necessary to ship it, and proper planning is required to execute it carefully. Call several reputable transport companies and logistics specialists to ask about their experience in cold planer shipping and in transporting other heavy equipment. Hire a transporter that assures their delivery and even offers insurance coverage during the transport.

About the Process of Shipping a Cold Planer

In most situations, your machinery will get delivered through an open-air cold planer transport method. By ground transportation, means an open trailer. If shipping overseas, a flatbed ship is used. These are both cost-efficient, affordable forms of open-air shipping. It does lack the protection provided by other shipping options, leaving the bulldozer susceptible to poor weather conditions.

If you do not wish to ship your cold planer through open-air methods, ask the transporter if it is possible to ship the cold planer through an enclosed form of transport. Enclosed shipping methods use large shipping containers to harbor the equipment from outside elements during its travels.

Insurance Coverage during Transport

Whether you choose container methods or open air methods for your cold planer hauling, make sure the transport company offers insurance coverage. By law, a licensed transporter must carry insurance coverage at least up to the minimum standards. However, this doesn't always cover the full value of your bulldozer. Ask the transport company about their insurance policy and what it covers. If they do not provide enough protection ask if you can purchase more. You may also want to call your insurance agent to see if your coverage protects the cold planer even during a transport.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
