Towing Construction Equipment

Finding a company skilled at towing construction equipment is vital when planning a building project. Your company may own the machinery necessary to complete the construction job, but how can you swiftly and safely remove and replace all equipment as needed throughout the different stages of the project? 

Construction Project Timelines

For professionals in the construction industry, it is a given that the building timeline must be followed to the exact specifications. Delays in any step of the process translate to higher costs for the company and lower client satisfaction. To make matters more complicated, a different set of machines is needed at each step – including demolition, excavation and beyond.

Contracting with a company with the ability to bring equipment in and out as needed helps construction companies stay on track and within budget. Towing companies specializing in heavy-duty construction machinery understand the urgency that accompanies all equipment pickup and delivery, relieving the worry and stress for project managers.

Adequate Towing Equipment

It is not enough to arrive at a construction site with towing equipment. Companies with a specialty in the industry understand the towing capacity needs of each piece of machinery. They have flatbed trailers with adequate loading ramps so no damage is inflicted upon machines during the loading process.

Adhere to Safety Standards

As a construction project manager, one of the major concerns on your mind is the overall safety of the workspace. Building and construction codes dictate strict standards to protect workers. It would not do to put any staff at risk while loading or unloading heavy-duty machinery. Towing companies with experience in the field are able to minimize danger and adhere to the safety guidelines specific to the building site.

Working with Local Law Enforcement

Certain types of construction equipment, including backhoes, are large enough to pose a risk to other drivers on the road during transport. Towing companies must maintain a working relationship with area law-enforcement officials in order to coordinate transport times on busy roadways. A police escort may be required for wide loads. It can involve extra paperwork and communication time to set this up – a task a construction project manager could do without. Companies specializing in towing construction equipment take over this challenge and reduce the workload for the builders.

Insurance Needs

A towing company specializing in construction equipment transport understands the value of each machine. They will present the building company with proof of adequate insurance coverage to guarantee reimbursement in the event of any accidents or damage to equipment that may accidentally occur while the machinery is in their possession.

If you have a building project in progress or still in the conception stages, involve Stauffer’s Towing in the coordination of your plans for towing construction equipment.
