Specialized Fleets

The unique handling and transportation needs of high-value and sensitive commodities require specialized equipment, as well as trained driver teams and support staffs.  Put these together and you get the security and attention that your valuable products must have. 

Crane Fleet                               

North American Logistics has the largest fleet of crane vans in the industry.  Crane vans are designed for the pick-up and delivery of equipment weighing up to 8,000 pounds.  Drivers are trained to use the crane to lift, move and deliver delicate, heavy or odd-sized equipment without needing a loading dock. 

Exhibit & Display Fleet  One of our largest specialized fleets features drivers and equipment to provide cost-effective transportation and delivery of trade show exhibits and displays.  Drivers are highly skilled and experienced in working all of North America’s major exhibit halls.  They are supported by our on-site corporate show coordinators. From pre-show planning to post-show follow-up, North American Logistics offers well-orchestrated, timely service. Flatbed Fleet We offer several options in our air-ride flatbed fleet - including flat-floor or single drop trailers, as well as retractable tarp flatbed trailers, which provide touchless protection from the elements.

Climatic Fleet                                 

A climate-controlled environment is essential for highly sensitive shipments such as priceless artwork or computers.  Our climatic fleet includes super high cube vans for oversized shipments.  In addition, we have climatic liftgate vans for street side or curbside delivery.  On-board data recorders allow drivers to monitor inside temperatures to meet your product’s specifications.

Experienced Fine Art Specialists

North American Logistics regularly manages the movement of valuable art and traveling exhibitions.  Some examples include King Tut, Ramses II, Thundering Hooves, Vatican Treasures and the Star Trek Exhibit.

Specialized Padded Van Fleet

For larger shipments of a sensitive nature, we have a direct delivery fleet.  This ensures your shipment travels directly from origin to destination on a single truck.  When needed, direct deliveries receive exclusive use of the trailer for even greater security.

Specialized Transportation Management of your shipment begins long before it enters one of our air-ride trailers.  From dollies to vans, we can draw upon a wide range of carefully maintained equipment that’s designed to load, lift, strap, store and meet the special handling and delivery challenges of any commodity.  And, to ensure all North American Logistics drivers understand your product, we can even custom-design training materials to provide you with safe handling and transportation.

Van Equipment

To assist in the loading, securing and delivery of shipments, our vans include the following: walkboards, dollies, roll-a-lifts, pads, straps, decking, logistics bars, J-bars and pallet jacks.  If we don't have the piece of equipment that helps to move your product effectively, we'll work with you to develop it.

Straight trucks play an important role in our On-Trac Network™ by providing local pick-up and delivery services.  Straight trucks are equipped with liftgates, which allow for efficient street side or curbside delivery.

Working in teams or on their own, North American Logistics drivers have a range of equipment to handle the pick-up and delivery of high-value and sensitive commodities.

Brokerage Services

At North American Logistics, certified transportation brokers manage your multi-modal needs.  Certification allows us to perform to higher standards.  After all, North American is one of the few transportation companies in the industry that require this type of specialized training for its operations staff.
