Service…
- Our vans are equipped with an advanced satellite communications system, allowing van operators and headquarters to communicate within minutes concerning load assignments.
- We can quickly track and monitor shipment’s progress.
- We offer a Gold Banner Express for specialized deliveries of smaller shipments, which offers per-scheduled pickups and deliveries to major markets in the United States.
Equipment…
- Air-ride suspension on every SAFE-GUARD® van. This added precaution reduces road shock and vibration by as much as 75% compared with conventional spring suspensions.
- No wheel boxes inside the van. This provides a clear, unobstructed floor, with more usable space and bigger load capacity.
- Wider doors — both side and rear — in order to handle the biggest, bulkiest items with ease.
- Horizontal and vertical cargo control tracks. Every load can be loaded in tight. Cargo control tracks also permit installation of decking at any height desired. With this special space-stretching feature, it’s possible to load higher while protecting floor-loaded products. This provides more assurance for loading your entire shipment.
- Our vans also include standard features such as: heavy-duty hydraulic lift gates, heavy-duty dollies, nylon web belts, shoring beams, high-load-capacity ramps and a larger-than normal supply of clean, soft pads.
In a nutshell, when you think of transporting anything, think first of Capitol and United Van Lines.
