There are quite a few different ways for us to ship your aircraft. One is to completely disassemble it and crate it up. The other is to partially disassemble it and load it onto a semi-truck trailer. In the latter case, you must ensure that your overall length is no more than 65 feet for typical and reasonably priced aircraft shipping. Also, height is something to note since the shipping cost will increase when you get about 12 feet. Shipping aircraft over these dimensions can also be done at an extra cost. If you do not know the exact dimensions of your plane or jet, search RisingUp.com for your crafts specs, as they have almost anything listed within the last 40 years.
You must remove all fuel from tanks, and in some states, they might even require you to have a purge certificate stating that the tanks have been completely purged of any elements or residues of fuel. You’ll need to check with the state that you are transporting your aircraft in or through to make sure that you will not be required to have a purge certificate. Other elements to consider are ensuring that your plane has the proper insurance to cover its value in the event of damages, as your regular insurance may not cover you while being transported by a third party. Your aircraft must be properly prepared for transport.
You want to ensure that any openings on the jet or plane are completely sealed off from any moisture to prevent damage in case of rain. You will also want to properly wrap your wings to protect them from being scratched or damaged is well. Typically most aircraft owners will also require that the trailer be equipped with an air ride suspension system to protect the aircraft from sudden jolts or vibration from the road. You should also consider removing any sensitive electronics that may be permanently damaged due to vibration. It is also important that you have nylon straps when you’re aircraft moving company arrives in case something needs to be secured that could be damaged otherwise by chains. While most aircraft shipping companies have straps, others do not, so check with your mover salesperson or dispatcher to clarify this issue.
