DELIVERY INFORMATION
HEY, LOOK AT THAT
You’ll notice that all of Hallmark’s buildings include 4×6″ pressure treated runners attached to the bottom of the structure. They serve a number of purposes, including separating the flooring from the ground, keeping the building in place during transit and are a necessary part of our delivery process.
MEET THE MULE
This machine, or “Mule”, is an essential part of delivery. Our drivers’ trailers are outfitted with a special section to carry this handy piece of equipment. After arriving, the truck and trailer can be parked and the Mule is used to unload your portable building, maneuver it across your property and level it at its new home. Often described as a forklift crossed with a riding mower, the Mule makes it much easier for drivers to move, turn and place your building while being more gentle on your property and yard.
THE PROCESS
Remember those 4×6″ runners? They make the delivery process possible. As shown here, the arms of the Mule slide under the building, using the runners to hold the building in place. Then, a set of wheels, with metal slots attached to the top, are slid onto the runners on the opposite side of the Mule. Those slots are made to fit, and slide onto, the runners. Now, your building can be “driven” over your property to your intended spot.
