Heavy equipment transport is a complex process that requires careful planning, coordination, and execution. In the past, this process was often cumbersome and expensive, with limited options for tracking and communication.
However, with the help of technology, the landscape of heavy equipment transport has transformed dramatically. uShip is at the forefront of this revolution, leveraging cutting-edge tech to make heavy equipment moves easy, affordable, and efficient. It’s why Ritchie Bros. has been a uShip partner for over 14 years.
Streamlined Heavy Equipment Transport Booking Process
One of the key technological advancements uShip offers is a streamlined booking process. Through our user-friendly online platform, you can easily list your heavy equipment, specifying the details of the move, such as dimensions, weight, and pick-up and delivery locations.
Our smart matching algorithm then connects customers with qualified heavy equipment transporters who have the expertise and tools to handle the job. This process eliminates the need for endless phone calls and emails, saving time and reducing hassle for both parties.
What’s more is that carriers on the uShip platform are customer-rated. You get the visibility you need to see whether or not the companies bidding on your heavy equipment transport are the right fit for you.
Competitive Pricing Through Marketplace Dynamics
uShip’s marketplace model leverages technology to ensure competitive pricing for heavy equipment moves. When transporters bid on a shipment, the competition drives down the price, ensuring that customers get the best possible deal. This dynamic pricing model is a game-changer in the industry, making heavy equipment transportation more affordable than ever before.
Partnered with our transparent review process, you can be sure that you’re getting a reliable carrier offering a price better than what you might expect. You get all of that in one place which makes the entire process simple end-to-end.
Tracking and Communication
Gone are the days of waiting anxiously for updates on your shipment. uShip provides tracking and communication tools that allow customers to stay informed every step of the way. Our platform enables direct communication between customers and transporters, ensuring that any questions or concerns are addressed promptly. Additionally, GPS tracking technology provides periodic in-app updates on the location of your equipment, giving you peace of mind throughout the transportation process.
Enhanced Safety and Security
Safety and security are paramount when it comes to transporting heavy equipment. Our feedback and rating system allows customers to read reviews and check the track record of transporters before making a decision, ensuring that their valuable equipment is in good hands.
Furthermore, our platform provides protection options to safeguard your shipment from start to finish through our uShip Protection Plan that goes above and beyond what your transporter might carry, and because it’s kept in-house, you only have us to deal with should you need to open a case.
