When your vehicle arrives at its destination, it needs to be unloaded from a container or a truck. If you\u2019re lucky the driver has the necessary unloading equipment, but usually, they don\u2019t have any of that stuff. As a customer, it\u2019s your responsibility to provide unloading equipment for your vehicle. But, EasyHaul<\/a><\/strong> can tell you how to prepare for your vehicle\u2019s arrival and what unloading equipment you\u2019ll need to unload it safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that if you ship a non-drivable vehicle, it\u2019s better to have it delivered to a shop or garage, instead of your home address. <\/span><\/p>\n

Based on your vehicle\u2018s condition, you need to choose appropriate unloading equipment. In this post, we\u2019re going to review some different kinds so you can save time and money by choosing the proper machinery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flatbed tow truck<\/b><\/h2>\n

This is the best option for towing 4-wheeled passenger vehicles and non-rollable cars. Flatbed tow trucks can usually carry 1- 3 cars at a time, so they are used mostly for short distances.<\/span><\/p>\n

A flatbed tow truck<\/a> is equipped with a platform in the back that lifts via hydraulics and has a winch that makes pulling vehicles onto it easy, especially those that don\u2019t drive on their own power.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"unloading<\/p>\n

Dolly<\/b><\/h2>\n

A dolly is a towing device that <\/span>goes under the non-rollable vehicle tires or used for cars that don’t have tires in order to roll off a trailer.<\/span> Dollies are cheaper than flatbeds but are less secure and there\u2019s a higher chance of damage to the vehicle during unloading.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"unloading<\/p>\n

Forklift <\/b><\/h2>\n

A forklift is a powerful industrial truck used to load and unload car haulers. A forklift is equipped with loaders controlled by levers that manipulate its hydraulic valves, raising vehicles off of the ground with ease. A vehicle that needs to be unloaded is placed on those loaders and lowered down until it reaches the pavement.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Forklifts are available in many variations and load capacities, but they are considered to be pretty unstable. For safety\u2019s sake, only an experienced forklift operator should load or unload vehicles using a forklift.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"unloading<\/p>\n

Winch<\/b><\/h2>\n

A winch is a mechanical device that looks like a spool wound with a wire cable. The winch itself is connected to a truck while its cable connects to the vehicle, so it can be controlled while being unloaded. Depending on the type of winch you choose, you can control the cable by manipulating a lever or using an electronic control pad. <\/span><\/p>\n
