Cargo insurance provides coverage for the assets you’re shipping while they’re in transit. Should those items be lost, damaged or destroyed, your policy can kick in with financial compensation. You can get cargo insurance from your shipper in some cases, or you can purchase coverage from a third-party insurer. Regardless of whether you ever have to file a claim, cargo insurance provides powerful peace of mind.

Typically, with large, heavy equipment and machinery there is also a large financial investment. Consequently, it’s crucial that these valuable assets are crated and transported properly and carefully. That means effective heavy equipment transportation requires more than simply placing items on a truck and strapping or chaining them down.
Expert industrial equipment movers understand that there are questions that have to be answered and a process that must be followed to ensure that items make it from their point of origin to their destination undamaged and on time. Not every company with the ability to haul large assets has the background in machinery crating, blocking and bracing necessary to execute an uneventful move.
And, of course, when it comes to heavy equipment transportation, the “shake test” you might use to see if the contents of a box you are mailing are properly cushioned isn’t really an option since the item to be transported weighs many hundreds or thousands of pounds!
