Large-scale and industrial construction projects require a unique blend of materials, quite different from those used in home construction. One of these is pre-cast concrete components such as stairways, beams, floors and walls. These elements lend structural integrity, fire safety and insulation benefits. For companies that transport these heavy construction materials, great care must be taken to ensure they arrive at their destination in a timely, safe, and efficient manner.
Weight Limits
While flatbed trailers are the standard mode of transportation for heavy construction materials, they are not all capable of handling some pre-cast concrete items. The first consideration when choosing a flatbed trailer is the weight capacity. For the most part, flatbeds can handle up to 48,000 pounds of freight. However, the age, and general condition of the trailer may affect this limit. The load's destination will also determine the amount of weight than can be transported. Seasonal …show more content…
This task requires heavy equipment, experienced operators and patience. It's important that every individual involved in the process wears safety equipment such as a hard-hat, gloves, and reflective clothing. In order to maintain the highest levels of safety, it's important to first communicate the plan and to continue communicating throughout the process. If any team member spots a problem, or is concerned with the process, it should be addressed immediately to avoid damage, injury or worse.
