Transporting construction equipment gets messy when key details are missed. Let us take care of all the details for you.
Heavy Equipment Shipper arranges nationwide construction equipment transport for contractors, equipment dealers, auction buyers, rental companies, fleet operators, and private owners.
Before dispatch, we review the equipment, route, loading conditions, trailer requirements, permits, and timing. That gives the carrier a real plan for the machine, not a guess based on incomplete details.
Some machines can move as legal loads with standard planning. Others need lowboy or RGN transport, oversize permits, escort coordination, attachment removal, or separate trailers for buckets, blades, forks, counterweights, and jobsite accessories.
We match the machine to the transport plan before the truck arrives.
Skid steers, compact track loaders, mini excavators, forklifts, light towers, generators, and smaller jobsite machines can often move on flatbed, step deck, hotshot, or other open-deck trailer setups when dimensions and weight allow.
These moves are usually faster to schedule when the equipment is ready to load, accessible, and moving on a common lane. Loading still matters. A dock, ramp, forklift, crane, or drive-on access can affect the trailer choice and pickup plan.
Excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, pavers, graders, and larger construction machines often need lowboy or RGN transport. These trailers help manage deck height, loading angle, weight distribution, and route clearance.
Oversized construction equipment may also require permits, approved routing, escort vehicles, or travel restrictions depending on the state and route. We factor those requirements into the plan before the load is assigned.
Buckets, blades, forks, hammers, rippers, counterweights, tracks, mats, and loose components may ship with the machine or on a separate trailer. That decision depends on size, weight, securement, legal limits, and how the delivery needs to be staged.
For fleet moves, auction pickups, and dealer deliveries, a clear attachment list helps prevent delays at pickup and missing pieces at delivery.

Cost depends on the machine’s dimensions, weight, route, trailer type, loading conditions, permits, escorts, and carrier availability. An oversized excavator that needs an RGN and permits will price differently than a legal-size skid steer on a common route.
Send the equipment type, make, model, dimensions, weight, pickup ZIP code, delivery ZIP code, ready date, running condition, attachment details, and photos. For auction pickups, include the lot number, buyer release, yard contact, pickup hours, and storage deadline.
Timing depends on distance, trailer availability, route, permits, pickup access, delivery access, and whether the equipment is ready to load. Legal-size equipment on common lanes usually schedules faster than oversized or overweight loads that need permit coordination.
The right trailer depends on the machine. Flatbeds and step decks work for many legal-size machines and attachments. Lowboys and RGNs are common for taller, heavier, or oversized equipment. Hotshot trailers may work for lighter regional moves.
Yes. Heavy Equipment Shipper coordinates transport for oversized and overweight construction equipment, including permit routing and escort coordination when required. Oversize requirements depend on the loaded dimensions, weight, trailer setup, and route.
Yes, as long as the loading plan is clear. Tell us whether the machine rolls, steers, brakes, starts, or needs winch loading, forklift support, crane loading, or another loading method. That helps us match the right carrier from the start.
Yes, we arrange construction equipment pickup from auctions, dealerships, rental yards, ports, storage facilities, private sellers, and active jobsites nationwide. Access notes, release paperwork, pickup hours, and loading details help keep the move on schedule.
Carriers must have active insurance, and Heavy Equipment Shipper verifies coverage before assigning the load. Insurance details can be provided before transport. Take photos before pickup and at delivery, and inspect the equipment before signing final paperwork.
Remove loose items, secure or detach attachments as directed, lower booms or blades, check for leaks, clean off heavy dirt when possible, and make sure the machine is accessible for loading. For auction or dealer pickups, confirm the release is ready before the carrier arrives.
