Accurate Specifications Matter
Equipment Dimensions, Weight & Loading Requirements
Heavy equipment transport depends heavily on accurate specifications. Length, width, height, weight, and operating condition all help determine the appropriate trailer and loading method.
- Overall equipment length
- Overall width
- Overall transport height
- Operating weight
- Attachment dimensions
- Running or non-running condition
- Ground clearance
- Pickup and delivery access
If attachments such as buckets, forks, blades, booms, or implements can be removed, provide that information when requesting your quote.
Specialized Equipment Hauling
Oversized Heavy Equipment Transport
Some construction and industrial equipment exceeds standard road dimensions or weight limits and may require additional planning.
Depending on the equipment and route, oversized transport may involve specialized trailers, route planning, permits, escorts, or other transportation requirements.
- Large excavators
- Bulldozers
- Oversized tractors
- Construction loaders
- Industrial machines
- Specialized commercial equipment
Loading Requirements
Running & Non-Running Heavy Equipment Transport
Operating condition matters when transporting machinery. Equipment that can move under its own power may be easier to load, while non-running equipment can require additional loading equipment.
When requesting your quote, tell us whether the equipment starts, runs, drives, steers, and brakes. Also let us know if loading assistance is available at the pickup or delivery location.
- Running construction equipment
- Non-running machinery
- Auction equipment
- Project and repair equipment
- Machines requiring loading assistance
