Fully Insured Container Transport Services in Pennsylvania
Heavy Equipment Transport is a reliable container transport company. We fully insure every shipping container we transport and make our clients holders of the insurance cover. That’s important because our clients can claim total compensation if their shipping containers aren’t delivered safely. When our professional drivers get to the pick-up location, they inspect the container and fill a BOL form. That’s to ensure there’s a point of reference to confirm if the shipping container is safely delivered. Then, we carefully load the shipping containers using our cranes. Finally, we send a team of professionals to help with the unloading at the drop-off location. Loading and unloading of containers can be hectic. Therefore, we send a team of rigger men to guide the drivers.
