Case Study: Transporting a CMI RS500B Soil Stabilizer Safely

The Challenge

A client required the safe and efficient transport of a CMI RS500B soil stabilizer from Wellington, NV, to Oroville, CA. Given the size and weight of the equipment, specialized transport solutions and permits were necessary.

Jason, our most experienced oversize load transport specialist, was assigned to handle the shipment. His first priority was to secure all necessary shipping permits, which took time to process. While waiting, Jason completed the paperwork and ensured full insurance coverage for the soil stabilizer.

Origin: Wellington, NV
Destination: Oroville, CA
Route: US-395 N
Total Miles: Approximately 250

The Strategy: Selecting the Right Equipment for Transport

After evaluating the dimensions and weight of the soil stabilizer, Jason determined that lowboy trailers would be the best option for transport. These trailers are ideal for oversized and heavy equipment because of their low ground clearance, stability, and ability to handle excessive weight.

His approach included:

Choosing a lowboy trailer to maintain stability during transport

Coordinating permits and paperwork to ensure compliance

Assigning experienced drivers familiar with handling heavy machinery

Implementing safety measures, including securement protocols and red flag warnings
