How do you ensure your oversize load arrives at its final destination safely, efficiently and unharmed? By working with an experience bucket truck escort team. From route knowledge to safety best practices, hiring a well-known, industry-leading bucket truck company to support your transport is one of the best decisions you’ll make.
Here’s the top five advantages to working with an oversize load bucket truck escort:
1. Safe Operations
Expert bucket truck companies like Kenco identify and remove aerial and roadside obstacles with the highest safety standards in the industry. Because safe transports save time, reduce cost and ensure cargo arrives undamaged, working with non-certified or trained bucket truck operators shouldn’t even be considered. For example, Kenco’s team undergoes on- and off-site hands-on bucket truck training and holds over 10 certifications.
2. Dependable Training
As aforementioned, relying on a trained team can make or break a project. It’s imperative to work with professionals who understand how to use the latest tools and trucks. Plus, we can’t overly stress the importance of a team that can navigate aerial and roadside obstacles from wires and communication cables to traffic signals and lights.
3. Well-Maintained Fleet & Equipment
Have you ever been on a transport where a support vehicle breaks down? In addition to causing the project to fall behind schedule, it exposes the oversize load to be exposed unnecessarily. Choosing to hire a fully equipped utility truck escort team can mean the difference between costly stalls or a smooth drive. When hiring a team, look for those like Kenco who regularly maintain and test their trucks and equipment.
4. Logistics & Coordination Experience
Oversize load bucket truck escorts provide services exclusively to oversize carriers. This means companies like Kenco have vast experience coordinating with local authorities, state DOTs, district permit officers, cable, phone and power companies and any other utilities — which is invaluable for project success.
5. Night Transport Knowledge
Inevitably, you’ll face projects that are permitted to only move at night. In those instances, hiring an expert bucket truck escort company with knowledge of night equipment like amber strobe lights, spot or work lights, reflective tape and company-issued reflective clothing, means your transport will be safer.
