Transport Safety is a Top Priority

Safe Transport and Moving Practices

At Get'er Gone Transport, we prioritize the safe, secure, and professional handling of your belongings, whether you’re moving furniture, household goods, personal effects, cargo, vehicles, or hotshot materials. Our team follows industry best practices and utilizes specialized equipment to ensure every move meets the highest standards of safety and efficiency.

Comprehensive Handling Procedures

• Pre-Move Planning:
  Each move begins with a risk assessment and route planning to minimize hazards and ensure efficient transport. We confirm the type, size, and fragility of items to select the appropriate equipment and packing materials.

• Professional Packing and Wrapping:

  • All sensitive and delicate items are wrapped in high-quality moving blankets or padded covers to prevent scratches and damage during transit.

  • We use stretch wrap for furniture and appliances to further safeguard surfaces.

• Use of Industry-Standard Equipment:

  • Shoulder dollies, forearm forklifts, appliance dollies, and four-wheel carts are employed to move heavy or bulky items safely, reducing the risk of injury and property damage.

• Securing Loads:

  • Items are anchored using commercial-grade ratchet straps, E-track systems, and tie-downs rated for the specific weight and dimensions of the cargo.

  • We ensure all loads are balanced and distributed evenly to reduce the possibility of shifting during transport, following Transport Canada’s cargo securement standards.

  • For vehicle and equipment transport, load binders, and heavy duty soft cargo straps as required.

• Safety Checks and Compliance:

  • Our drivers perform regular safety stops to inspect load security, tire condition, and vehicle integrity throughout the journey.

  • We comply with all provincial and federal transport regulations, including hours-of-service rules and mandatory equipment checks.

Additional Best Practices

• Team Training:
  All team members are trained in safe lifting techniques, hazard identification, and emergency procedures.
  

• Communication:
  Customers are kept informed at every stage, and our team is responsive to questions or special requirements.
