Platform Convention Services
Flatbed, step deck, double-drop, and heavy haul transportation for the freight that doesn’t fit through a dock door.
Built for Oversized Convention Freight
Some of the biggest events in Las Vegas are also some of the heaviest. World of Concrete brings construction equipment by the acre. CONEXPO-CON/AGG fills outdoor lots with cranes, loaders, and earthmoving machinery. Fire industry events roll in apparatus that weighs more than the average house.
Standard van capacity doesn’t move freight like that. Platform transportation does.
