Define blocking
State whether timber, skids or chocks are included.
Who Is Responsible for Securing Machinery on a Truck?
Responsibilities should be agreed before loading. A machinery mover may position or block equipment as scoped, while the motor carrier is responsible for compliant transportation and cargo securement under its operating obligations.
Carrier controls transport
The driver/carrier must be satisfied with legal securement before departure.
Protect the machine
Weather protection and vulnerable components should also be discussed.
What this looks like on a real machinery-moving type of job.
Confusion is common when a customer says 'secure it' without defining whether they mean rigging preparation, blocking, straps, chains or carrier compliance.
Example is generalized from common industrial rigging situations and is not presented as a named customer project or site-specific lift plan.
A guide can narrow the questions. The machine and site determine the move.
For job-specific pricing, provide photos or a listing, the equipment location, approximate weight if known, requested services and deadline. Unknown details can be identified during review.
