We provide towing experienced drivers with commercial driving license for short and long distance. If you need both the trailer and the tow truck, we can be best bet on that. We provide sturdy bulit trailer far more stable in cross winds and much less dramtic if a tire blows. For long distance, our tandem axle trailers make a huge difference.
Just provide us the accurate details of your boat with your shipping requirements and we'll do the rest for you.
In water launching & retrieving requires skill and experience. It involves using public or private ramps, preparing the boat and trailer while away from the ramp. Trailer is reversed back until the tires submerged enough to allow the boat float freely. It should not be reversed back too much. Boat is maneuvered to line up with the trailer rollers/bunks. A winch is hooked with the boat bow eye to launch it fully onto the trailer and tied down.
Our drivers are experienced and fully loaded to pull this off seamlessly. We provide end-to-end service. Contact us and we'll do the rest for you.
Heavy power and sailboats come with certain logistical and legal challenges for their overland shipment. To deal with these challenges, it all starts by choosing the transporting vehicle as the perfect fir for the job. We provide multiple over the road trailers for short and long trips that can handle power or sailboats up to 45' length and 30,000 lbs. weight. We use semi trucks to ensure proper and safe arrival of your boat. We offer variety of hydraulic trailer to match boat requirements for transport safety and damage free arrival.
Our trailers are specifically designed to cradle sailboats with any type of keel. We pay special attention to securing all rigs, gears and equipment that are disassembled and secured separately on the trailer.
A load is categorized as oversized/overdimensional load when it exceeds
- 8.5' width
- 13.6 feet height
Weight is determined on a per-axle premises. From 20,000 lbs. to 24,000 lbs. per axle, may vary from state to state. Transporting these loads add extra challenges like specialized transporting vehicles, acquisition of permits, escort/pole cars, banners, alerts, graded tie-downs to name a few.
We offer a full package service so can sit, lean back and relax while we do all the heavy lifting.
Qualified Shipper of Pontoon Boats
We specialize in transporting Pontoon boats. A Pontoon boat has flat bottom placed on floats or tubes (also called pontoons) with large decks that can accommodate many passengers. Versatile watercraft. There are two tube or triple tube pontoon boat.
Challenges in transporting Pontoon boats
Transporting pontoon boat has its own challenges including the size and weight, and its potential for wind resistance. Due to its bulkiness, it is hard to maneuver and transport. Also, it does not have an aerodynamic structure that makes it more susceptible to wind buffeting and fishtailing, especially at higher speed. The larger surface area can make it difficult to control the trailer, especially on highways. Be aware of the drafts caused by big rigs and semis, which can buffet the pontoon boat sideways. During long trips pull over every few hours to inspect trailer and boat for transport safety. Improper securing can cause the shifting of boat during transport. Pontoon boats have thin aluminum tubes prone to puncture. Your pontoon’s structure faces different stresses than V-hull boats. The flat, wide design makes pontoons especially vulnerable to crosswinds and wave action when in transit.
Your tow vehicle also experiences significant strain. The engine, transmission, cooling system, tires, and rear springs are all stressed by the additional weight of a boat and trailer together.
Weather conditions could represent potential hazards. High winds can catch the large, flat surface of the boat making them difficult to control on the highways as compared to V-hull boats. Weather conditions compound with these difficulties. Strong crosswinds affect pontoon severely due to their large side profile.
Route mapping is needed to identify any potential hazards before starting your journey (hitting the road). The bouncing and vibration on the road. Crosswinds and wave actions on the road.
Trailers for Pontoon Boats
There are two types of trailer, the bunk style that supports the pontoon and the up down style that is going to go between the pontoon. If you are in shallower water, you can lower the bed to get the boat launched off easier and also to bring the boat on to the trailer and then you can crank it up to travel down the road. One more feature of an up down trailer is that you can raise and lower the boat real easy. Crank up and down manually or just a push of a button.
With a bunk style trailer we can haul either a triple tube or without the center set of bunks, we can haul a twin tube pontoon boat. A pontoon bunk trailer is designed with two long bunks that provide support to the pontoons of the boat. Bunk pontoon trailers provide:
- Stability
- Support
- Distribute weight evenly along the length of the bunks
- Easy loading and off-loading
- Due to their support and stability, they are ideal for long distances
- A safer option on highways and rougher terrains
