Reliable, efficient transportation is crucial for successful logistics and roadway safety. Whether you’re moving loads across the country or internationally, it’s critical to find solutions to simplify the process and provide peace of mind. When you choose Wide Load Shipping, you can expect comprehensive service and expert operations to ensure efficient tank transportation.
Oversized loads like water tank transportation typically involve many challenges. Clients often must overcome obstacles such as route planning, accounting for dimensions and permit acquisition. Thankfully, our team is ready to make the process more manageable. Wide Load Shipping offers a range of tank container logistics and shipping services to ensure client ease and convenience.
Tank shipping requires careful planning and coordination of systems and components, usually involving oversized equipment trucks, trailers and professional drivers. Heavy tank transport varies significantly depending on specific circumstances, mainly the tank model or design, applicable regulations, shipping distance and weight. Consulting with a specialized shipping expert or tank trucking company like Wide Load Shipping empowers a successful and compliant transport process. Our tank transport services are reliable and available across all states. Whether you’re transporting a tank across the country or in another city, we will help you ship it.
The tank shipping market adheres to three categories: low, medium and heavy-duty transport. Our experts at Wide Load Shipping have the skills, equipment and capacity to ship oversize tanks and other heavy freight loads anywhere in the country and internationally under these three classifications.
Several trailers and trucks for oversized shipping are available at Wide Load Shipping. However, picking the most suitable vehicle for your tank trucking project depends on the dimensions, usually the length, height, width and weight. Most trailers our tank trucking company uses consist of flat, open platforms without roofs or sides, but our shipping trailers are designed to transport an oversized tank anywhere in the country. Wide Load Shipping experts help you determine the best for you, mainly from the standard flatbed, lowboy, RGN, tanker trailer or step deck trailers. 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.
