Use straps to tie equipment down. Straps are sturdy and keep your machinery from shifting during transportation in snow, which can be especially important if you're transporting heavy and fragile equipment. If you have multiple items to move, invest in a large tarp covering each item individually. If one thing gets wet or dirty, only that item will need cleaning upon arrival.

Using a high bed truck also ensures your cargo is secure. Snow can build up on the bed of an average pickup truck quickly and cause issues when driving fast or turning corners in areas without enough clearance for snow removal tools. A higher-clearance vehicle can help provide enough space between the bottom edge of its bed and any potential buildup caused by winter conditions. This allows your cargo to remain safe throughout its journey.
