Heavy equipment transport in the Philippines

Despite how essential it is, heavy equipment transport is an often overlooked sector in the transportation industry. Dealing with the movement of heavy, oversize loads that weigh tens of thousands of pounds, the logistics of heavy equipment transport include rounding up highly experienced drivers trained to skillfully navigate hectic freeways as well as using specialized trailers to get these cargos from point A to point B.

Thus, when it comes to ensuring a smooth workflow for your development projects, assembling a team you can rely on, especially for heavy equipment mobilization, is already half the battle. The safe transportation of massive pieces of machinery and equipment is no easy task, and settling on a less-than partner is not only a recipe for disaster but also carries with it the risk of pushing back your project’s timeline or driving up costs in the event of injuries or damaged equipment.

In other words, to get things done well, safely, and on time, you need the right equipment and services powered by the right people.

Luckily, there’s T1 Transport, the trusted logistics company in the Philippines.

Tractor Head

Also known as a prime mover, semi-tractor, truck, semi-truck, rig or big rig, or simply a tractor, tractor heads are a heavy-duty towing engine made up of a cab and a short chassis behind it for connecting to a semi-trailer. Tractor heads can be distinguished by the design of their cab, which can either be high or low with a high-capacity towing engine to generate motive power.

T1 Transport utilizes tractor heads manufactured by Hino, Isuzu, and UD, which offer a bed space of up to 6.77m x 2.50m.

Low Bed Trailer

Also called the lowboy trailer, machinery transport trailer, or equipment transport trailer. a low bed trailer is a heavy-duty vehicle used to transport heavy, wide, and tall cargo. With a lower platform, low bed trailers offer more stability, thanks to their lower center of gravity.

T1 Transport utilizes high bed trailers manufactured by Sekyu and Ongson Steel Builders, which offer a bed space of up to 12.2m x 2.40m and can carry up to 60 tons.
