How auto transport companies load cars onto their trucks

When you are on the freeway, you will often see a car that is hauling 6 cars or more on top of each other on a huge truck. It seems dangerous and you may often wonder how the transport companies haul so many cars onto one moving trailer. 

Loading many expensive and large cars onto a single trailer and locking them into place takes a lot of skill and work by transport companies.

The goal of auto transport companies is to load the cars onto the trucks or trailers, keep them undamaged during the whole trip, and get the cars to their designated destination.

The company's team put a lot of effort into taking care of their customer's needs and ensuring a safe delivery for their cars. 

How to get a car onto a trailer

One way to get a car onto a trailer is to use a trailer with ramps or one with a hydraulic lift. Car hauling ramps are used more often by transport companies, because they are cheaper than hydraulic lift gates. This can also decrease the cost of the customer's delivery fees. 

However, ramps are a bit more dangerous to use because they risk vehicles that are lower to the ground. There is a chance that the ramp will scratch the bottom of the vehicles when loading on an incline. 

Some haulers will use wooden blocks to decrease the incline, but there is a chance the blocks will hit the car.

Hydraulic lift gates are the safest way to load and unload a vehicle onto the trailer. They are like an elevator for the car, and they lower completely to the ground.
