How to Transport Heavy Equipment

**STEP 1: Get a Quote**
Start by filling out our Heavy Transport Quote Form, and one of our friendly logistics experts will reach out to discuss your heavy equipment transportation needs.

**STEP 2: Determine Your Equipment’s Dimensions**
To find the best trailer for your heavy equipment, we need its exact dimensions. Please measure:

– **Length:** Typically between 48 and 65 feet.
– **Height:** The standard height is 13 feet 6 inches.
– **Weight:** The legal gross vehicle weight limit is 80,000 pounds. Exceeding this may incur oversize fees.
– **Width:** Usually 8 feet 6 inches.

Measuring your equipment allows us to provide you with the most accurate transportation options and ensures compliance with the regulations of the states you will travel through.

**STEP 3: Select the Best Type of Transport Trailer**
Once we have the precise dimensions, we will choose the appropriate trailer, driver, and truck for your shipment. Most heavy equipment is transported on a flatbed hauler (also known as a lowboy trailer). The specific machinery to be shipped will influence the final decision regarding the transport method, but rest assured we will find the ideal carrier for your needs.

**STEP 4: Prepare Your Heavy Equipment for Transport**
Before transport, ensure your equipment is clean to remove any mud or debris that could add weight. The driver is legally responsible for anything that falls from the trailer, so this step ensures a safer and more cost-effective transport.

Consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for additional preparation steps. Most recommend securing doors and disconnecting batteries for safety.

**STEP 5: Receive Your Heavy Equipment**
Upon arrival at the destination, make sure someone is available to receive the equipment. If you have any questions or concerns throughout the process, don’t hesitate to reach out to our transportation specialists. We’re here to assist you with all your heavy equipment shipping needs and to address any concerns efficiently.
