Load Information
We grow deciduous trees that weigh between 200 and 1900 pounds, height from 6'-30' tall. We package trees in balled and burlap wire baskets and are wet, dirty and sometimes muddy. Treetops are in the nose of reefers and hanging off the back of the flatbeds or step decks. Typical loading time is one hour for flatbeds/step decks and one and one-half hours for reefers/containers/dry vans. We ask drivers to arrive at least 30 minutes early for staging so loading begins promptly at the appointment time. Total load weight is in the 34,000-44,000 pound range. Trees are loaded using a track machine with forks and stacked on the bed similar to dominoes. The first row of trees are placed midway on the deck.
Trailer Requirements
Flatbeds and step deck trailers MUST have breathable 20'x54' nursery tarps to fully cover the trees. Double grommet tarps are preferred. Spread axels handle the weight distribution of our product most efficiently. Reefer units must be nose mounted due to the weight distribution of our trees.
