How We Handle Heavy Haulage: Equipment and Techniques
At MCC World International, we combine advanced equipment, expert techniques, and years of experience to deliver safe and efficient heavy haulage services. Here’s a closer look at how we handle the complexities of oversized and heavy cargo:
Specialised Vehicles
We use powerful prime movers designed to transport loads far beyond the capabilities of regular trucks. These are often paired with specialised trailers, including:
- Low Loader Trailers: Ideal for tall or heavy machinery.
- Tilt Trays: Perfect for loading and unloading without additional equipment.
- Extendable and Platform Trailers: For accommodating lengthy or irregularly shaped loads.
Advanced Load Handling Solutions
For extremely large or heavy loads, we employ multi-axle combinations like dollies and wideners to evenly distribute weight, reducing road and bridge impact. In cases of extraordinary weight or size, we also utilise self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs), which allow precise electronic control for long-distance moves.
Specialised Equipment
To ensure safe and efficient handling, we use a range of equipment, including:
- Cranes: For heavy lifting during loading and unloading.
- Forklifts: For precision handling of smaller components.
- Customised Loading Equipment: Designed to suit the unique needs of your cargo.
Tailored Solutions for Every Job
Every load is different, which is why our approach is customised to your specific requirements. From selecting the right equipment to planning routes and securing permits, we ensure every step is handled with precision and care.
Trust MCC World International to manage your heavy haulage needs with industry-leading equipment, techniques, and expertise. No matter the size or complexity, we deliver with confidence.
