What configuration does your cargo need?
Freight within legal size and weight limits moves on flatbeds, step decks and extendable decks, with the equipment selected for the load.
Oversize and overweight loads can call for a lowboy with a jeep ahead and a booster behind, or other specialized multi-axle configurations. Weight, dimensions, support points and route restrictions determine the combination.
The cargo and route determine the combination. Superload requirements are reviewed for the movement and the jurisdictions involved.

Two countries, one movement.
Southern delivers and picks up international loads in Mexico.
Eleven operating points. Eight of them are truck yards.
Equipment is staged, loads are reviewed before a crossing, and field work is coordinated through the operating network. Southern runs some segments and coordinates others, with responsibility defined for each stage.
Explore Cross-Border Operations →The route is the work.
Clearances, turning geometry, bridge load limits, axle spacing, permit conditions, escorts and travel windows. Each can change the trailer setup, the route or the delivery schedule.
A permit is not paperwork. It is a set of operating conditions the movement has to meet.
The documented transformer project follows the site visit, revised transport plan, arrival and Jack & Slide offloading through final placement.

Loading, unloading and final placement.

Southern Heavy Haul's offloading capabilities include Jack & Slide, crane-assisted lifting and gantry handling.
Load weight, support points and working space determine the handling method.
