Several trailers and trucks for oversized shipping are available at Wide Load Shipping. However, picking the most suitable for your tank trucking project depends on the dimensions, usually the length, height, width, and weight. Wide Load Shipping experts help you determine the best for you, mainly from the standard flatbed, lowboy, RGN, tanker trailer, or step deck trailers. Our shipping trailers are designed to transport an oversized tank anywhere in the country. Most trailers our tank trucking company uses consist of flat, open platforms without roofs or sides. This makes it easy to move oversize tanks with irregular designs or dimensions. The step deck trailer is mainly suitable for transporting taller tanks or those with additional equipment attached, especially at the top, because they allow more vertical clearance. The lowboy trailer has a low deck that makes loading and unloading easy and usually includes a detachable neck at the front, commonly called a gooseneck.

A reputable tank transport company like Wide Load Shipping must ensure all clients’ projects comply with specific permits and regulations for the legal and safe transportation of oversized loads. However, these permits and legal regulations vary by state. Transportation of oversized tanks usually exceeds most states’ maximum allowable weights and dimensions for regular vehicles. When a cargo exceeds these limits, oversize permits are required to transport them. Since the permits vary by jurisdiction, Wide Load Shipping, through its trusted agents, submits detailed information about the load to relevant authorities for approval. We also conduct route surveys before dispatch because some states have designated roads or corridors for oversized loads.
The regulations and permits include oversized permits and safety equipment and markings, hazardous materials regulations, specialized hauling equipment licenses, pilot vehicles, and insurance coverage for damages. Our tank transport services are affordable and fully insured. Clients need to discuss upfront with the tank trucking company for correct permits and regulations.
