Reliably moving your mobile concession trailer is essential for operating a successful business. Whether you’re heading to your next event or relocating your operations, transporting this large unit requires specialized care and expertise. Ensure a seamless process by following these five tips for shipping mobile concession trailers.

Choose the Right Transport Company

Selecting a trustworthy transport partner is critical when shipping concession trailers. A company that specializes in handling trailers understands the unique challenges these mobile units present. Working with a national transport company like One Call Logistics offers a secure and efficient process. With our proven track record and extensive experience, our professionals know how to handle every intricate detail of moving large trailers.

Prepare the Trailer

Proper preparation is essential for a successful move. Cleaning out the trailer, securely locking equipment, and checking for any loose items are necessary measures before transport. These steps not only ensure safety during transportation but protect your valuable equipment against damage. Compliance with these regulations removes hurdles that could delay your trailer’s arrival, protecting your timeline and business operations.

Select the Right Transport Mode

Deciding between open and enclosed transport can influence both the cost and safety of your shipment. Open transport may be more affordable but exposes your trailer to external elements like weather. On the other hand, enclosed transport offers more protection, making it an ideal choice for long distances or fragile trailers. The state of the trailer and the distance it needs to travel should guide your decision.

Ensure Proper Loading and Unloading Techniques

Safe handling is a must when shipping concession trailers. Only experienced drivers and skilled crews should handle the loading and unloading processes, as improper handling can lead to damage. Entrusting this critical step to professionals eliminates the risk of improper techniques that could lead to operational delays. A carefully managed process preserves the condition of the trailer from start to finish, keeping your business running smoothly.

Track Your Shipment and Stay Updated

Transparency during transit is another key element of a successful move. Features like real-time tracking allow you to monitor the trailer’s progress and eliminate unnecessary stress. Clear and consistent communication with your transport company provides opportunities to promptly address issues if they arise. Staying in the loop throughout the process boosts your confidence in the move and makes sure all expectations are met.

Smooth Transport Equals a Thriving Business
