Trailer Selection and Route Planning for Heavy Gas Engine Loads
Trailer choice starts with clearance. If height is tight, a step deck or lowboy helps keep the loaded profile down. If ramp loading makes more sense, an RGN can simplify the loadout. For smaller legal-size engines, a flatbed can be the most direct option.
Route planning matters. Bridge heights, posted roads, and permit corridors can add miles or force specific travel times. We plan around those constraints, then match permits and escorts to each state on the run.
Fuel System Isolation, Purging Prep, and Pickup Documentation
Natural gas engine shipping can include fuel-train parts that hold residual gas. Safe prep starts with isolating the system and verifying zero pressure per site procedure. Some configurations call for purging or venting steps before transport. If a shipment includes pressurized cylinders or charged gas components, compliance steps can change.
We also treat documentation as part of the load plan. We confirm dimensions, photograph condition, and capture pickup paperwork before the truck rolls. That keeps handoffs clean and helps prevent billing disputes tied to mismatched measurements.
