Suggestions to save you time and money:
1. LOADING: Please ensure your trucks are loaded friendly for removal (i.e. on at least 4”- 6” blocking, fork pockets turned to side of trailer bed).
2. SKIDDING & BOXES: Requires additional work to remove. Either leave skidding on equipment or reduce their use. AISLES MUST BE KEPT CLEAR AT ALL TIMES.
3. PLANNING: Plan your work prior to the start of our service in order to minimize the time necessary to unload your machinery. This will save you both time and money.
4. EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT: Take the time to be sure of the exact final location of your machinery BEFORE WE BEGIN. Relocation of machinery is costly to you.
