Load shifts

When a load shifts or becomes unstable, the cargo has to be recovered and moved to a sound trailer so it can reach its destination. Malone’s does both.

Recover the cargo, keep it moving

With a dock, forklifts and a skid steer, we recover cargo that has been lost and move your load to a newer, undamaged trailer so it can reach its destination.

The last thing you want to worry about after an accident, or after finding an unstable load because of trailer damage, is how your cargo gets where it is going. We help recover your equipment and handle the load shift.

When you need a load shift

  • A load that has shifted or become unstable
  • Cargo lost from a trailer
  • A damaged trailer that cannot carry the load on
  • A truck and trailer involved in an accident
