Permit Requirements for Crane Transport
Permit requirements for crane transport depend on factors like size, weight, and route specifics. Here are the key considerations:
Oversized crane permits: Cranes often exceeding standard size and weight limits require specialized permits for transport. These permits must be obtained from the relevant state or local authorities.
Route approval: Transporting a crane may require route approval, especially if it involves traveling through areas with height restrictions, low bridges, or narrow roads.
Escort or pilot vehicles: For large or oversized loads, some regions require escort vehicles or pilot cars to accompany the crane.
Timing and hours of transport: Some jurisdictions restrict oversized loads to specific times or require transport during off-peak hours to minimize traffic disruption.
BAH Logistics is familiar with all the permit requirements for crane transport and will ensure your crane is properly secured while complying with local, state, and federal regulations throughout the entire process.
How to Prepare Your Crane For Transport?
Preparing your crane for transport involves several important steps to ensure its safety, compliance, and efficiency during shipping. Here are a few things you need to know to prepare your crane for transportation.
Clean the crane: Clean the crane thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and any hazardous materials. This not only ensures safe transport but may also be required by certain jurisdictions.
Remove attachments. Detach any accessories or attachments, such as outriggers, counterweights, or jib arms. These can be transported separately to reduce weight and ensure stability.
Secure loose parts. Ensure all loose parts are properly secured. Use straps, chains, or brackets to keep loose parts from shifting during transit.
