Affordable Mobile home movers, getting your mobile home ready to move

Getting your Mobile Home ready to move.

Tires must be legal, not wore out, thred must be 1/4th inch.

Tire size must be 8-14.5 size in good condition. ( 7-14.5 not allowed) A little weather cracking is OK for short trips.

All Electric Brakes on trailer must be wired. (if you need instructions on this call me.)

Trailer must be empty. Fridge, stove, washer, dryer OK (trailer not made to carry heavy loads)

Swamp coolers, awning flashing, porch lights, hose racks, TV disk, wires, insulation hanging down under trailer must be removed.

The legal height is 14' high. Stove pipes, vents may be higher than 14'. (Requires a special DOT Permit)

Safety Procedures

Road side break-downs can be a big problem. Imagine a 14' wide Mobile Home, break-down on the side of the road, restricting traffic. Pre-inspection can prevent most of these Problems.
We Check all the running gear such as Tires, Axles, Springs and Brakes and hitch.
Inspect for loose item that may blow off, causing damage to other people or autos.

Some older homes are not safe to move a long distance. Call me with your questions about this. Their are things that can be done about it.

Swamp Cooler must be removed from the roof of the home. They are dangerous (possible blow off) and most likely cause the trailer to be over legal height.

Most furniture should be removed before transporting. Mobile homes are not able to carry extra weight. A few items may remain it the Mobile Home. It is best to move these items to the front of the Home, thus placing the extra weight on the hitch/truck rather than the axles.
