Rigging & Transport FAQs

Do you provide rigging quotes?

No. Abound handles trucking. For rigging services and pricing, please contact a professional rigging company like Rigging-Busters.

Can Abound help schedule the rigger?

Yes—once you select a rigger, we’ll coordinate pickup times and trailer type with them to ensure a seamless transition from their work to ours.

What trailer should I request for CNC machines?

Most CNCs ship best on a Conestoga trailer to protect them from the elements without tarp contact. Taller units may need a step-deck or double drop/RGN for extra height clearance.

Do I need insurance for rigging and transport?

Rigging firms carry their own specific coverage for on-site work. For the transport portion, Abound offers standard cargo insurance plus options for all-risk coverage up to $2M.

Can you move machinery across borders?

Yes—Abound Transport Group specializes in freight to, from, and between the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Your rigger can load the machine, and we’ll manage all cross-border compliance and transit.
