Single Wide Mobile Homes
https://youtu.be/j_LdVMzNP2Q?si=nZFa-90EGLpTUwrF&t=145
18 ft wide single-wide mobile homes are transported as a single unit, typically by specialized trucks and trailers designed for mobile home transport. The home is prepared by disconnecting utilities, securing loose items, and removing exterior features. A heavy-duty hauler will then lift the home onto a trailer and secure it for transport. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Here's a more detailed breakdown: Preparation: Before transport, the mobile home needs to be prepared. This includes disconnecting all utilities (water, electricity, gas), securing any loose items inside the home (furniture, appliances), and removing any exterior features like decks, porches, or awnings. [2, 2, 4, 4] Lifting and Securing: A specialized heavy-duty hauler will lift the mobile home onto a trailer using specialized equipment like cranes or lift systems. The home is then securely fastened to the trailer to prevent shifting during transport. [1, 1, 4, 5, 5] Transport: The trailer, with the mobile home attached, is then towed by a specialized truck. [2, 2, 5, 5] Delivery and Setup: Upon arrival at the new location, the mobile home is carefully positioned on the foundation or prepared site. The set-up crew then reconnects utilities, levels the home, and completes any other necessary setup tasks. [2, 2, 6, 6] Permits and Regulations: It's crucial to obtain the necessary moving permits and adhere to all relevant regulations for transporting a mobile home, especially if it's considered oversized or overweight.
