How to prepare your van for transport?
Your vans are big investments, so you want to keep them secured at all times. We go to great lengths to ensure your peace of mind. At your request, all of our van shipping trailers come with air-ride suspension for the smoothest ride possible. Before the carrier arrives, take the proper precautions and prepare your Van. To ensure a smooth Van shipment, follow these tips:
➤ You should remove any personal items you may have.
➤ Inspect the van for scratches, dents, and dings.
➤ Make sure you take high-quality photos from different angles.
➤ You should disable any alarms installed in your vehicle to prevent making enemies with the driver.
➤ Fill your vehicle with no more than a quarter tank of gas before transporting it.
➤ Check your vehicle’s undercarriage for leaks before loading it onto the truck. It’s worth checking before giving the keys to your driver if the vehicle has any leaks.
➤ Once the vehicle is loaded onto the truck, don’t open it until it’s delivered.
How is the van secured for Transport?
The process typically involves the following steps:
➤ Loading: The van is driven or guided onto the carrier’s loading ramp or platform.
➤ Positioning: The van is positioned carefully on the carrier to distribute its weight evenly.
➤ Tie-Down: Professional transporters use heavy-duty straps to secure the van to the carrier’s deck. These straps are placed over the wheels and around the frame to immobilize the van.
➤ Wheel Chocks: Wheel chocks are used to keep the van’s wheels in place, preventing any movement during transit.
➤ Inspection: Before departure, the transporter performs a thorough inspection to ensure the van is securely fastened and ready for transport.
