What Our Clients Say
Equipment Hauling FAQ
Get quick answers to the most common questions about our equipment hauling services.
-
How much do equipment hauling services cost?
It depends on your load. The biggest factors are how far it’s going, how big and heavy the machine is, and how easy the route is to reach. Most heavy equipment transport is priced per mile, so longer hauls and oversized loads cost more. Send us your equipment details and we’ll get you a free, accurate quote.
-
What types of equipment can Mercer transport?
If you’ve got it, we can probably ship it. We haul construction equipment, farm equipment, agricultural machinery, heavy machinery, shipping containers, and small tractors. As one of the largest flatbed and heavy specialized carriers in the United States, we have the right trailer for almost any heavy load you throw at us.

What trailers are used for heavy equipment transport?
That comes down to the size and weight of your machine. A flatbed trailer or step deck handles standard loads, while a lowboy trailer carries the taller, heavier stuff. You don’t have to figure this out yourself; we’ll match your shipment to the right specialized trailer.
