Flatbed/Overweight Frieght Allowed

The majority of the world’s cargo can be handled, within the boundaries of shipping containers. They make transport easy and are typically a very straightforward process. However, there are plenty of other things, which need to be transported, which don’t fall within the dimensions of a container. From large earthmoving equipment, to industrial machinery, to necessary construction elements. Many of these will be categorized as oversized or overweight. Moving these is a challenge unto itself; one, which can only be fulfilled by a fully licensed company, with the appropriate fleet for the job. For the ports of Seattle and Tacoma, you can find these capabilities in Shippers Transport Express.

Oversized and Overweight Transportation
An oversized or an overweight load of cargo will exceed the standard legal dimensions, specified to be safe on the roads. This will be an item, which cannot be broken down into smaller parts for transfer. It is going to be necessary, to have these transported in one. To do this, they will need to be loaded onto a flatbed and marked as an oversized load. When we execute your oversized or overweight freight transfer, we make sure that each is handled with planning, precision and care. You can count on us to transfer abnormal loads across the region.

We are one of only a few companies, who are able to offer this service in the area.

That means, unloading, loading and driving, all need to be held to high standards. We ensure this on every single job, making sure that we are always compliant with our set of standards.

Flatbed Capabilities
To be able to handle the majority of oversized loads, we make use of certain members of our vehicle fleet. Oversized load trucks are able to handle the extra weight with certain modifications made to handle that extra weight. We use our flatbed trucks, with large flatbed spaces, which are able to hold incredible amounts of weight. And, compared to a normal loading system, they make the process much more straightforward. Having flatbed capabilities has meant that we have been able to facilitate a broad range of types of freight. A truck oversize load just sounds like a weird thing but they are used. From industrial sized cranes to large single pieces of machinery, our flatbed trucks have meant we have fulfilled the maximum amount of our customers’ needs.
