Compare machinery transport truck configurations
Identify the machine dimensions and mass, then check axle loads. Match the ramp angle and loading method to ground clearance. Confirm restraints and route limits, and decide whether onboard lifting is needed before choosing the deck configuration.
| Configuration | Loading equipment | Machine-handling task | Route fit | Main advantage | Not suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flatbed Transporter with Crane | Loading deck, ramps and truck-mounted crane work as one system | Machinery plus components or attachments requiring a separate lift | Construction and service sites with stabilizer and crane clearance | Adds material lifting to equipment transport | Personnel lifting or machines beyond the deck and crane charts |
| Flatbed Equipment Transporter | Low or tilting deck and ramps load compatible wheeled or tracked machines | Self-propelled machinery that can load without an onboard crane | Plant, construction and equipment-transfer routes | Simpler loading deck with more focus on machine transport | Machines needing a separate lift or exceeding ramp and clearance limits |
