Insured carriers ★ Local and long-distance transport ★ Hotshot, flatbed, step deck, and lowboy trailers ★ Dealer, auction, rental, and jobsite coordination
We haul small-frame machines, mid-frame loaders, large high-flow models, mini track loaders, and forestry units fitted with mulching heads or other attachments.
Send us the make and model, operating weight, pickup and delivery locations, and a few clear photos. Make sure the attachment is visible and that it will stay mounted during transport.
We’ll match your track loader with the right trailer, build a solid shipping plan, and give you a clear quote. There’s no need to guess when you haul with Heavy Equipment Shipper.
Some manufacturers publish a whole separate set of transport dimensions, and that’s the set you actually want. You might get a transport length and a transport height that don’t match the plain operating numbers, and a taller transport height again for machines with a top guard fitted.
If you have the spec sheet (we can help you look it up if not), take a close look at the width line. On that same sheet, it reads overall width without bucket, and the bucket is the wider number. The figure you need for the trailer isn’t always the headline on the brochure.
If that all sounds complicated, don’t worry. We can help get the measurements you need and match the machine to the trailer.
Decks we put track loaders on:
Once your track loader crosses 10,000 pounds, the securement plan gets more involved. That’s where the right carrier and trailer matter even more. The unit needs at least four tiedowns and must be secured against movement in all directions. Buckets, mulching heads, and other attachments are lowered and secured separately.
But again, you don’t have to figure out any of that yourself. Send us the correct operating weight and attachment details, and we’ll haul your loader safely and correctly.

Make, model, operating weight, attachments being shipped, whether it runs, pickup/drop-off locations, and roughly when. Recent photos are a real help, since they usually answer the attachment question before we’ve had to ask it.
It is, in a couple of ways that matter. The track machine weighs more for the same working capacity, so track loaders sometimes need a different trailer than their skid steer cousins. Rubber tracks also behave differently on steel ramps, especially wet ones, so loading takes more patience.
If you can, please do! A loaded undercarriage carries more weight than people realize; it drops chunks down the highway, and the receiving yard would rather not deal with it. Ten minutes with a pressure washer buys you a lot of goodwill along the way.
Usually it can, yeah. The driver brings it down and secures it to the machine, which is its own step on top of chaining the loader itself. If you’re sending a mulching head or an oversized grapple, mention it when you book, since those sometimes want their own space.
Hardly ever, honestly. Even the wide-track machines sit inside the legal width limit, so these are about as close to a routine load as heavy equipment gets. If something unusual is bolted on that pushes you past a limit, we’ll spot it in the specs and sort the permit out before pickup day.
Most of the time, we can. A winch handles it fine so long as the tracks still turn and the machine rolls freely. Flag it when you book, though, since a non-runner needs different gear and more time on site than a machine that walks itself up the ramps.
Small-frame machines do fine on a hotshot, most mid-frame loaders ride a flatbed, and the big high-flow units generally want a step deck or a lowboy. The operating weight and the cab height together determine it, which is why we ask for both before sending a truck.
All the time, and dealers in particular send us a lot of these. Both dealers and auction houses are careful about who they hand equipment to, understandably, so we like to have the lot number, the buyer release, and the yard’s hours settled before a driver heads over.
It is, and we wouldn’t move it otherwise. We confirm coverage before transit, and the driver takes photos on and off the deck. That photo record has settled more than one question about a scratch nobody remembered.
