Car Transport Services
Fortunately for you, car transport can be done in many different ways. During the years, the industry has encountered the many different needs each customer has and they have accommodated and created all types of possibilities in order to have satisfied customers.
Two of the most common and more important transport possibilities are through open and enclosed carriers. Most commonly when a person requests a car transport, the service will done through an open carrier, as it is cheaper and faster as availability is higher. Unless, a costumer doesn't request otherwise, open carriers will be used to transport the car. Enclosed carriers offer great protection for cars as they are not exposed the environment and weather conditions. These type of carriers are mostly used to ship classic cars, sports cars, luxury cars or simply if customer requests full protection for car. However due to this increased protection, prices are higher as well. Also availability although high, is less than an open carrier as these carriers are more of a hassle and more expensive to maintain. Also, enclosed carriers take less cars and although price is higher it limits driver to take less loads per trip. Opposed to enclosed carriers, open carriers, can take up to 11 cars at once from point to point. Although car is exposed to dust and weather conditions, they are safely strapped on to carrier and shipped. Open carriers offer more affordable prices and driver availability is very high as more driver have open carriers. Therefore maintenance fees to keep this hauler are less expensive. Although prices are cheaper, more cars are taken at once, which compensates greatly to the driver. |
Motorcycle transport is generally done in a custom made enclosed carrier. These carriers are adapted to smaller lots where they place each bike. Generally they have 2 floors and bikes
are lifted with a forklift on a cradle and carefully placed on each
space. Then they are safely strapped to carrier to keep them steady
while in transit.
Because motorcycles are smaller vehicles and have more parts to them than a car, it is recommended they are transported in enclosed carriers to offer better protection. Most bikes are custom made and these special modifications can easily be scratched or damaged by weather or road conditions if exposed. Although recommended, it is not a rule, as bikes can also be transported in open carriers if the carrier offers the proper safety measure in order to place it and strap it on hauler for transit. Customer must inform agent what type of carrier he needs for his transport as opposed to cars, when offered a quote to ship, the quote is based on an enclosed carrier. If this is not what you need, make sure you tell your agent otherwise. |
