Busy cities make unloading products on job sites difficult.

Have you ever dealt with slow unloading of trucks on job sites only to be charged with detention fees?

How to ship large items? How are Window Shipped?

Throughout the years, we have dealt with the slow unloading of trucks leading to costly detention charges. Our first change was to put our windows on pallets, which saves time and remedies a lot of shipping damage that occurs with shipping individual windows. 

We then ran into the problem of job sites not having the correct equipment to get our pallets off the trucks so people would turn to use chains to drag the pallets to the back of the trailer. When we found out that is what some people were doing, we knew we had to make a change because dragging pallets around is not safe and could potentially damage the windows. 

So what was our fix? Conestoga Flatbed Trailer

Conestoga trailers that fully opens so that pallets can be easily lifted off from the sides with a forklift or with a crane and placed directly onto the corresponding floor of the building.

You can see the operation of the trailer in the video below. 

There are many benefits of the Conestoga trailer to consider:

• Faster deliveries 
• No need to rent extra equipment to unload
• Ability to unload from all sides
• Can be used with a forklift or crane
• Ability to unload in a smaller area (fewer road closures around job sites)

We are currently shipping projects using Conestoga trailers, so let your Representative know if you are interested in getting your windows and doors delivered on Conestoga trailers.
