Hot Rods will transporter transport a dually cabover

Does anyone know if a standard auto transporter will transport a dually cab over truck?
Thank you

 

Several years ago I sold a '40 Ford 1 1/2 ton dually conventional cab flatbed dump to a guy on the east coast and the shipper transported it on a standard car carrier if that helps.

 

It would have to go on the top rack, and that might present a problem if there's a height restriction, and every carrier will be different. Some car haulers don't even want to touch anything old or special interest/different sized. It might fit on there but that doesn't mean they'll take it.

Also, the carriers I have dealt with, won't take a non-runner, especially if it has to go on a top rack, sometimes they'll pay to have a wrecker load it on but they don't seem to want to do that. If this is a finished build that drives and was turned into a pickup-sized thing that might fly, if it's a non-running old project being bought as-is, you will most likely have issues having it hauled on a rack.

 

Thanks guys, appreciate it

 

Check with the shippers on the HAMB-O-DEX.

 

I know of a guy with the equipment to do it for you. But I don't know where you are and where the truck needs to go. California, yes. New York No.

 

You can get anything hauled anywhere.....the equipment is out there....you just need to be able and willing to pay what it costs. Not being sarcastic, just the reality of it.

Exactly,

You need to get an exact measured footprint - outside tire to tire at the front & rear axles - overall length - overal height - curb weight.

A cabover truck generally will not fit on the upper deck of a multi car open trailer unless it is the rear top position with no vehicle underneath so the truck will clear overp***es - then it probably has to be loaded backwards & the outer dually wheels removed - even then it may get be too tall.

Generally open multi car carriers do not have winches- everything is driven on & off the trailer.

My guess is that it would be cost prohibitive.

I just dropped of my largest volume measured vehicle I have hauled in my custom built enclosed car hauler to date on Saturday.

1925 Model T Popcorn Truck to the MTFCA Museum in Richmond, IN .....

I have transported many vehicles for them over the years.
