Plan the day
Trailers and Attachments
Floats, brooms and planer heads, kept as records of their own. Trailers and attachments are easy to lose track of because they move between trucks and machines. STRACTA keeps them as their own records, so a float or a broom isn't just a note on something else. Trailers go straight onto equipment moves.
Problems solved
Where the day breaks down.
Attachments go missing
A broom or a planer head moves between machines and jobs, and the only record is someone's memory.
The float gets forgotten
A move is planned with the machine and the tractor, but not the trailer. The driver arrives with the wrong one, or none.
“Skid steer” doesn't say enough
A skid steer on the plan could be carrying a broom or a planer. The crew finds out which when it shows up.
What it does
What Trailers and Attachments does.
In plain terms. Your version of STRACTA is shaped around how your team works, so bring your own workflow to the demo.
Trailers as their own records
Keep floats and other trailers by unit number, separate from the trucks that pull them.
Attachments as their own records
Record attachments such as pickup brooms and planer heads, so the tools a crew depends on are listed, not remembered.
Trailers on equipment moves
When you schedule a move, choose the trailer along with the machine, the truck and the driver.

FAQ
Questions about Trailers and Attachments.
What's a float?
In Ontario, a float (or lowbed) is the low-deck trailer used to move machines between jobs. It isn't a live-bottom asphalt trailer.
Why keep attachments separate from machines?
Because they move. A broom or a planer head can go from one skid steer to another, and the crew needs to know which one is coming.
How does a trailer get onto a move?
When you schedule an equipment move, choose the trailer along with the machine, the truck and the driver, so the float is part of the plan from the start.
