Weather protection needs
Loading methods
Delivery locations

Some generators can be loaded with a forklift.

Others require cranes, specialized lifting equipment, engineered rigging plans, or multi-axle trailers.

Our logistics specialists review every shipment individually before recommending transportation equipment.

Trailer Equipment We Coordinate

Selecting the proper trailer is one of the most important decisions in generator transportation.

Depending on your shipment, Exodus Logistix may recommend:

Flatbed Trailers

Ideal for standard commercial generators that remain within legal dimensions and can be loaded from the side or top.

Step Deck Trailers

Perfect for taller generators that exceed standard flatbed height restrictions while remaining within legal transportation limits.

Removable Gooseneck (RGN) Trailers

Frequently used for large industrial generators and equipment requiring drive-on or crane loading.

Transportation planning
Delivery scheduling
Carrier procurement
Route analysis
Permit coordination
Shipment sequencing
Staged deliveries
Jobsite communication
Real-time shipment tracking

Protecting High-Value Equipment

Generators represent significant capital investments.

During transportation, protecting that investment is our priority.

Our logistics planning considers:

Securement methods
Proper trailer selection
Weight distribution
Weather protection
Loading procedures
Delivery site accessibility
Equipment sensitivity
Carrier experience

Every shipment receives careful planning before the truck arrives for pickup.
