Heavy Weight Transport: Metal Transportation

Shipping overweight metal poses specific challenges that require careful consideration. For instance, metals vary in density, which can complicate freight cost calculations for shipping companies unfamiliar with these materials. Moreover, certain metals are susceptible to product degradation or corrosion. Others may have sharp, exposed edges that are a safety concern when shipping. This underscores the importance of meticulous packaging and handling throughout the transportation process. Proficiently trained drivers and handlers can make a crucial difference in ensuring the safe arrival of your products at their destination. Finally, there exists a myriad of regulations that shipping companies must adhere to when dealing with metal products, encompassing proper labeling, documentation, and adherence to safety standards. Here again, the experience of Heavy Weight Transport’s drivers becomes an invaluable asset.

Overweight metal transportation is not an easy feat. But regardless of the difficulty, you are relying on a trucking company that can deliver the necessary product in a safe and timely manner. Heavy Weight Transport can meet your needs and make the process more cost-effective for you and your team. Additionally, choosing our company will lead to overweight metal transportation with higher capacity, smaller environmental impact, expert compliance, and versatility. 

Higher Capacity

Shipping at a high capacity requires a shipping partner whose semi trucks are specially equipped for larger loads. Otherwise, a typical fleet of semi trucks would have to transport your product in multiple trucks or stages. This, ultimately, will cost you more money. Heavy Weight Transport has a specialized fleet that can take shipments with larger capacities. In fact, our semi trucks can hold up to 64,000 pounds. By choosing to work with us, you are choosing to maximize your metal transport.

Better Cost-Effectiveness

Being able to transport metal at a higher capacity is more cost-effective than dividing it into multiple shipments. So, partnering with a shipping company that specializes in handling large loads will minimize the price. 

Minimized Environmental Impact

These days, it is crucial for companies to limit their environmental impact. Your company’s stakeholders and customers alike will be impressed by your success in minimizing carbon emissions. This is an added benefit of working with Heavy Weight Transport. Because we maximize the capacity of our loads, fewer trucks are needed for your metal transport. As a result, there are less carbon emissions.
