Tailored Solutions for Aerospace Freight
Every aerospace shipment is unique, requiring customized plans for safe delivery. Buchanan Logistics offers a range of transportation options to meet diverse needs:
- Critical Parts Delivery: For Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situations, we prioritize rapid delivery of urgent parts through our expedited services. Smaller components ship via our dry vans, while oversized items move using RGN trailers or heavy haul trucks and trailers.
- Heavy Freight Shipping: Large equipment, like landing gear or propulsion units, requires specialized trailers. Our drivers, trained in securement and tarping, transport these loads across highways in Ohio, Tennessee, or Texas with escort vehicles for added safety.
