custom equipment

Shipping heavy and large-size products often create demanding challenges for both suppliers and manufacturers. At Nussbaum, we’re truly setting new ideas in motion by innovating custom equipment solutions that streamline product delivery.

custom trailers for off-road tires

We are currently working on a project with Michelin to use a custom built trailer, recently developed by Wabash Trailer that hauls large size off-road tires “standing up”. This new transport system will not require permits or escort services, and the new trailers can be hauled 24 hours a day, ultimately, saving time and transit costs for tire shipments. Furthermore, when empty, these specialized trailers convert into flatbeds to haul other products, reducing the cost of operation.

heavy duty vans

We’ve recently develop a heavy duty van, or trailer with a heavy duty floor, that can bear the weight of heavy steel coils shipped to Electrolux, one of the largest manufacturers of appliances in the world with numerous plants here in the US. The vans will haul the steel coils from a supplier in Illinois to Electrolux plants and then leave the plants with finished products bound for distribution centers and customers. Previously, steel coils were only shipped by flat bed trailers. Finished products can only leave Electrolux plants by van. Now, the new heavy duty vans are tied up in a dedicated loop and generate significant cost savings.
