01 / Handling operations
Define the operations your move needs.
Choose one or combine them.
Offload to a prepared area
The load comes off the trailer onto an agreed landing or staging area. Support and orientation are checked before the transfer.
Final placement
The load continues to the designated pad or foundation. The plan covers the transfer path, support and final orientation.
02 / Handling methods
The site determines how the load comes off.
Load weight, support points and working space determine which method fits each transfer.
03 / Transfer sequence
Plan the handling before the trailer arrives.
Confirm the load
Southern uses verified load weight and dimensions, lifting or support points, known center of gravity and available handling instructions to prepare the transfer.
Review the receiving site
Southern reviews the trailer stopping point, the handling area and the path to the load’s final orientation.
Set the handling plan
Southern defines the method, equipment and operating roles with ground support, clearances and the receiving point in view.
Prepare for arrival
Southern coordinates site preparation, trailer position and crew sequence, then rechecks ground and weather-sensitive conditions before the maneuver.
04 / Receiving plan
The receiving plan, point by point.
The receiving plan connects final access, ground preparation, modular transfer, orientation and Jack & Slide before arrival.
Southern receiving plan
- 01 The review called for transfer to a shorter modular transport configuration for the movement toward the receiving pad.
- 02 The travel path and working area were specified at 95% ground compaction, with marked obstacles removed or adequately protected before arrival.
- 03 The reviewed sequence required rotation before Jack & Slide transfer to the receiving pad.
- 04 Dry conditions were required for the reviewed plan; rainfall before arrival would trigger a new site assessment.
