How is heavy machinery shipped?
Shipping heavy machinery depends on size, weight, and destination. Most oversize loads require specialized trailers like step decks, lowboy trailers, or flatbeds for safe transport. Each load must then be properly secured using industry-standard tie-downs and protective measures to prevent shifting during transit.
-
How much does it cost to ship heavy construction equipment?
Shipping costs depend on several factors, including:
- Size and Weight: Heavier and larger equipment requires specialized trailers, permits, and additional logistics, increasing the price.
- Distance: Longer hauls cost more due to fuel, tolls, and driver expenses.
- Permits and Escorts: Oversized loads may require state-specific permits and pilot cars for transport, adding to the cost.
- Mode of Transport: Standard flatbed shipping is more affordable than using multi-axle or RGN trailers.
- Timeframe: Expedited shipping increases costs due to priority scheduling and additional logistics.
The best way to get an accurate estimate is to request a quote with the equipment’s dimensions, weight, pickup, and drop-off locations.

What are equipment rigging services?
Rigging services involve lifting, positioning, and securing heavy machinery for transport or installation. These services are necessary when equipment is too large or heavy to be moved with conventional methods.
Professional riggers use cranes, hoists, and gantries to lift machinery onto trailers, into buildings, or into position on job sites. They also handle disassembly and reassembly when equipment needs to be taken apart for transport.
