Expertly Shipping Eight Switchgear Transformers from San Francisco, CA

A business customer contacted Josh Chiapetta from our Tampa office to haul eight Switchgear Transformers for his company. The delicate and dangerous equipment needed transport from San Francisca, CA, to Cedar City, UT.

A Switchgear is a piece of electrical equipment that connects to electric supply systems and is used in both low and high-voltage power transformers.

The customer, an electrical equipment supply company, has worked with Josh before and knew that for such a massive transport, they needed to call him.

Once Josh got the order, he set it into motion. He took several steps to ensure the drivers would transport the switchgear transformers safely.

Here are a few of the steps Josh took:

1. Set up the proper paperwork.
2. Pulled the necessary permits.
3. Made sure the crew had tarps.
4. Found the best step deck trailer.
5. Pre-planned the route.

Josh is always thorough in his transports, no matter how small or oversize they may be. Each customer deserves the best shipping service available, and Josh always provides it.

Loading Eight Switchgear Transformers on a Step Deck Trailer for Transport

Josh talked to one of his drivers, who had a step deck trailer. The offset levels allowed the best option to ship all of the transformers at once.

But, the loading process had to be prepared and then carefully done to ensure the safety of the Switchgear transformers.

Josh had the team place planks before loading the transformers with a forklift. Once they were on the step deck trailer, he instructed the team to place tarps over it. That was vital because the straps went over next. He had it done so that the transformers were secured without any of the securing equipment causing damage.

This securement process is so complex the manufacturer provided a checklist, which Josh strictly adhered to. He also ensured that the checklist went along with the team to the final destination to ensure it was offloaded correctly.

Once each Switchgear Transformer was loaded onto the trailer, Josh thoroughly inspected it to make sure nothing was missed.

When he was satisfied, Josh dispatched the driver from San Francisco.

Delivering The Eight Switchgear Transformers to Cedar City, Utah

Thankfully, Heavy Haulers adhere to all safety and DOT regulations. We transport with the safety of the equipment, the team, and other motorists in mind. While the load did not require escort vehicles or pilot cars, the driver made sure to take extra precautions on the road.
