Mangum’ s, operating from terminals in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, provides nationwide OS / OW transportation services including permitting, escort coordination and specialized rigging solutions for a diverse range of industries.
• Railroad equipment trailers
• Rear-steering trailers
• Four-axle and six-axle dollies
The company also operates hydraulic platform trailers, heavy-duty cranes and six-axle steerable dollies paired with six-axle beams for specialized hauling applications.
The newest addition to the Mangum’ s fleet is a Goldhofer P12 Plus modular highway trailer with the ability to transport loads weighing up to 281,000 pounds when operating with all 12 axle lines. The steerable unit also features a 42-inch ride height capacity and an extended bottom-deck length of 96 feet.
“ This trailer is designed for extraordinary heavy-haul applications,” Phillips said.“ It raises the bar for what’ s possible in heavy-duty transport because its multiple configuration possibilities, and optimized dead-weight-to-payload ratio, make it highly adaptable to a variety of OS / OW transportation assignments.”
A standout feature of the Goldhofer P12 Plus, according to Phiillips, is the trailer’ s ride height, which provides flexibility when navigating complex sites, infrastructure restrictions, loading conditions and route challenges involving bridge clearances and uneven terrain. Additionally, the extended and adjustable bottom-deck adapts to a wide variety of cargo and the specific dimensions of individual shipments.
The Goldhofer P12 incorporates hydraulic steering and suspension systems and active automatic steering that simplifies reverse driving operations.“ Those capabilities improve stability, maneuverability and control throughout the transport process,” Phillips related.“ They are particularly valuable in urban environments and restricted work zones where every movement must be carefully managed.”
Strategic Advantage Mangum’ s views flexibility
of equipment as a strategic advantage because it can support permitting, route planning, load distribution and transportation efficiency. Their ownership model also provides for direct control over scheduling, maintenance, safety standards and project execution.
“ As an asset-based carrier, we never broker your shipment,” Phillips stated.“ Our equipment and our people handle every haul.”
Mangum’ s transportation resources are also supported by a substantial towing and recovery fleet. The company operates multiple rotators, including 50- and 75-ton models capable of lifting and repositioning heavy equipment, rollbacks and heavy-duty tow vehicles, such as 25- and 35-ton recovery units.
Project management from the earliest stages of transportation planning is a key part
