Equipment & handling

The equipment should fit the car. Never the other way around.

The trailer decision happens before dispatch.

Clearance, overhang, width, operability and wheel condition all affect safe loading.

We review those inputs before equipment is assigned. A hydraulic liftgate, extended aluminum ramps, side access or a winch-assisted plan may be called for depending on the vehicle and the actual trailer configuration available.

Hydraulic liftgate

Low is a specification, not a surprise.

Vehicles reported at roughly 1.5–2 inches of clearance receive an individual geometry review. Acceptance depends on the measured car, access surface and assigned equipment.

Inside the movement

Four systems. One handling plan.

Availability and specifications are confirmed for the assigned trailer in writing.

Road isolation

Air-ride suspension

Trailer configuration designed to reduce harsh vibration over interstate distance.

Securement

Soft wheel tie-down

Wheel-based restraint without fastening to suspension components.

Environment

Hard-sided enclosure

A physical barrier from weather, road debris and public view.

Access

Side and extended loading

Alternative approaches for long overhangs, wide bodies and non-standard geometry.
