Fully Insured and Reliable Container Shipping Services In Ohio

The first thing you should do before booking with any transport company is confirm they’re licensed and have enough insurance coverage to protect your shipment. We don’t take chances regarding safety and ensure each shipment is protected before it’s dispatched. We hand our customers proof of insurance, and they can call our insurer for proof. At the pick-up location, a bill of lading form is filled out to document the state of your container before it’s dispatched and is later used to confirm if it was delivered safely. If your container has new dents that weren’t recorded at the pick-up time, you can file a complaint with our claims department for compensation. We’re a company that wants our customers to have a stress-free experience. Call us today for a quote.

Our container transport company has numerous types of trailers that handle oversized, heavy, or wide containers. Our logistic agents can recommend lightweight and high-strength chassis trailers because of their outstanding maneuverability, flexibility, and ability to carry 20-foot, 40-foot, and extended containers. We also use flatbed trailers that have adequate strength for container hauling. Another trailer option to hire is the Gooseneck, which can carry light to heavy containers.

It should have all the required tie-downs to hold the container securely for safe transportation. Our container transport company uses cargo lifters, such as top pickers, driverless AGVs, forklifts, and cranes, to lift the cargo and properly position it in the trailer for securing and transportation.
