Pickup-to-Delivery Planning for Boxer Engines and Wide Footprints
We start with your packaged measurements and pickup details. Then we build the move around your site, your lift plan, and the route.
The legal width benchmark on the National Network is 102 inches. Loads extending beyond that can require an overwidth permit on those routes. That is why we ask for the total width after the engine is on its base, with any side shields installed.
From there, we line up the best-fit trailer and travel plan. Flatbeds and step decks cover many shipments, with lowboy, double drop, or RGN equipment for heavier or height-sensitive moves.
Cradle Design and Component Protection for Boxer Engine Hauling
Good engine shipping starts before dispatch. We want the engine clean, stable, and ready to handle bumps, vibration, and fork handling.
Here is what we look for before pickup:
- Fluids drained from lubricant-filled areas, or sealed for leakproof transport.
- No dripping or leaking, since carriers may refuse freight that can damage other loads.
- A solid pallet or cradle built for the engine’s shape and weight.
- Side protection around protruding components to reduce impact risk.
If the engine will sit before install, packaging and preservation should match the transport method, storage time, and climate.
