Transporting dually trucks can seem hard and expensive, but with the right shipper and being infomred, it gets easier and won't cost as much as you may think. These trucks are strong and can carry heavy loads, so they need special care and the right truck to be moved, but this is a snap for a company like NX. This guide will help you understand how to transport a dually truck.
Let's make sure that we are talking about what the right vehicle and characteristics. Dually trucks have four rear wheels instead of two, hence the nickname "dually". They are also known as a dual real wheel truck.
These double rear wheels help them carry heavy loads and stay stable. They are great for towing big trailers or carrying heavy stuff because the extra wheels spread the weight evenly. These trucks have strong shocks, brakes, and leaf suspension systems.
But they also represent a logistics bottleneck, as soime carriers can't easily take them.
When moving a dually truck, size and weight are important. These trucks are bigger and heavier than regular vehicles, which can affect shipping costs and finding a carrier. The extra weight and size need special equipment and knowledge to move safely.
The size of a dually truck can also affect the type of carrier used. While most can fit on a standard carrier, bigger models might need flatbed or lowboy trailers. It's important to tell the transport company the exact size and weight of your truck. Sometimes you'll see a dually front and center up top or bottom end, last vehicle on a double decker truck. This is because the dual rear wheels won't fit anywhere else.
Dually trucks usually cost more to ship because they are bigger and heavier. Along with size and weight, there are other factors. Things like distance, route, and delivery time can also affect costs. Moving a dually truck a long way or to a remote place might cost more. Planning ahead and being flexible with delivery dates can help save money.
Finding a carrier for dually truck hauling can be hard, especially for bigger models. Not all companies have the right equipment or experience, so it's important to research and choose one that knows how to move dually trucks.
Scheduling is also important. Because moving dually trucks is specialized, it might take longer to find a carrier. Booking transport early can help secure a spot and avoid delays. Make sure to tell the transport company about any special needs or deadlines.
Bigger dually trucks might need special transport arrangements, like using flatbed or lowboy trailers. These trailers give the support and stability needed for oversized loads.
Sometimes, parts of the truck, like mirrors or accessories, might need to be removed to fit transport rules. Working with a company that specializes in dually truck hauling can help with these challenges and ensure all rules are followed.
