About Open Air Shipping Methods for Heavy Equipment
There are several different types of open air transport methods usually the one best for your asphalt paver will depend greatly on the distance of travel between Point A and Point B. Another factor in the open air method of transport used is whether or not the paver is operational. Once the transport company knows more details about your paver, they’ll have more ability to help you decide on the best method of open air transport. However, if the asphalt paver is in need of ground transport, it’ll typically be secured to an open framed trailer which is then hauled by a freight truck. If you are shipping overseas, expect the paver to be secured to a flatbed ship for its travels.
