Once we've fabricated your home package and assembled all the materials it's time to ship!
We coordinate with you and your installation contractor to sequence the delivery to suit your needs. In arriving at a transportation plan we consider a varety of issues: the distance to the site, the site's accessibility, the site's laydown area, off-loading crew and equipment requirements,etc. The goal is to keep the transportation costs low and minimize any disruptions to the installation process.
We try to arrange our load plans so that the material that will be needed first doesn't end up stuck at the bottom of the pile when it's off-loaded at site.

Land

All of our homes require ground transportation. Besides the haul distance, we have to consider the site access: is there a limit on the size of truck that can be used to handle the 'last mile'? Is it economical to off-load from highway trailers to a smaller truck and shuttle the load the 'last mile'? What unloading and lifting capacity will we have on site? Should we use a a truck with a crane / HIAB?

Sea

Some remote sites are not serviced by ferries and require the use of barges. Many of these locations are unable to handle highway trailers, so some combination of smaller trucks and trailers may be necessary to move the package.

& sometimes Air...

Occasionally, something different is in order. On a recent job we heli-lifted the home package from a barge to the site. The shoreline didn't offer any form of laydown area, and the site was at the top of a fairly steep embankment. The cost of using a large barge-mounted crane was prohibitive, and the cost of mooring a barge and manually offloading and hauling the material up to the site was prohibitive. The most economical (and the fastest) way was to use a helicopter to lift the material from a barge to the site.
