When it comes to transporting oversized construction equipment, experience matters. Heavy machinery requires more than just a truck—it demands specialized trailers, proper load securement, route planning, and a team that understands the unique challenges of heavy haul transportation.
At AMFreight LLC, we specialize in transporting construction and industrial equipment safely across the United States. One recent shipment featured a JLG 660SJ Telescopic Boom Lift, a large aerial work platform designed for demanding job sites where operators need safe access to elevated work areas.
What Is a JLG 660SJ Boom Lift?
The JLG 660SJ is a telescopic boom lift commonly used in:
- Commercial construction
- Industrial maintenance
- Steel erection
- Bridge and highway projects
- Warehouse construction
- Utility installations
Its long horizontal reach and elevated working height make it ideal for projects where ladders and scaffolding simply aren’t practical.
Typical Specifications
- Equipment Type: Telescopic Boom Lift
- Length: Approximately 38 feet
- Width: Approximately 8 feet
- Operating Weight: Around 27,000 lbs
- Application: High-reach construction and maintenance work
Because of its size and weight, this equipment requires professional transportation planning to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations.
Why a Step Deck Trailer Is the Right Choice
For this shipment, AMFreight LLC utilized a step deck trailer, which is specifically designed to accommodate taller and heavier equipment.
Compared to a standard flatbed, a step deck trailer offers:
- Lower deck height for increased overhead clearance
- Easier loading and unloading
- Better stability during transport
- Ideal transport solution for oversized machinery
Using the proper trailer helps reduce transportation risks while ensuring the equipment remains within legal height limits whenever possible.
Safe Load Securement Matters
Transporting heavy equipment isn’t simply about placing it on a trailer.
Every shipment must be carefully secured to prevent movement during transit.
For this boom lift, our team used:
- Heavy-duty transport chains
- Commercial-grade load binders
- Multiple securement points
- DOT-compliant cargo securement procedures
Proper securement protects:
- The equipment
- Other motorists
- Our drivers
- Your investment
Every load is inspected before departure to ensure everything is properly tightened and road-ready.
