Quality Side Kit Trucking with Heavy Haulers
Side kit trucking is a popular transport option when it comes to oversize freight. Side kit panels are constructed of plywood or fiberglass designed to attach to a flatbed trailer and can be used when shipping loose material or bulky equipment. Their maximum weight capacity is 45,000 pounds. Because they can be customized to fit around oversize or awkward equipment, side kits are popular for freight that needs to be loaded from the side of the trailer instead of the back. Loaders can use cranes or forklifts to place the material onto a flatbed and then build the protective side paneling around the cargo.
Side kit trucking is particularly convenient for shipping over-dimensional or heavy equipment, vehicles and machinery. It can be loaded from any direction and provides extra stability on the sides to keep the equipment from moving toward the sides during long-distance hauling. Side kits protect precious cargo from the wind and road debris, but can also be equipped with a tarp covering that attaches to an aluminum frame to keep your loose material, bulk produce or expensive equipment protected from rain and other weather conditions.
