Earthmoving Equipment Transport is designed for moving heavy machines such as bulldozers and excavators. These services ensure stability and safety during transport, especially for large-scale projects.
From compact skid steers to oversized excavators and dozers, we match your machinery to the right lowboy, RGN, or step-deck trailer. Our dispatchers assess weights, dimensions, ground clearance, and loading angles to select safe, efficient transport. We coordinate pickup windows with site crews to minimize downtime. Every move is tailored to your project timeline and jobsite constraints.
Certified operators handle loading with ramps or detachable goosenecks and apply manufacturer-approved tie-down points and rated chains. We calculate axle groupings and center of gravity to prevent shift, and we verify bridge, overhead, and turn-radius clearances before departure. Route plans are optimized for grade, traffic, and weather to protect your equipment and schedule. Pre-trip inspections and en route checks keep the haul on track.
Our team secures oversize/overweight permits, pilot cars, and municipal permissions as needed across state and provincial lines. We maintain DOT compliance, insurance certificates, and documentation ready for site access and gate entries. You receive dispatch confirmations, live status updates, and verified delivery proofs. Post-delivery walkarounds and photos document condition for your records.
Commonly shipped machines include excavators, bulldozers, wheel and track loaders, skid steers, backhoes, graders, scrapers, compactors/rollers, and articulated dump trucks. Depending on size and weight, carriers use RGN/lowboy trailers (detachable gooseneck) for tall/heavy units, step-decks for mid-sized machines and attachments, flatbeds for compact equipment, and multi-axle or dual-lane configurations for superloads.
If the loaded dimensions or axle/group weights exceed legal limits along the route, oversize/overweight permits are required and may trigger pilot cars, route surveys, bridge approvals, travel-hour restrictions, and safety gear (flags, lights, banners). Carriers typically secure permits, but accurate length, width, height, weight, and attachment details are essential to determine requirements.
Price depends on machine size/weight, distance, route complexity, permit and escort needs, trailer type, site access and loading method, fuel, and lead time/seasonality. After dispatch, intrastate moves often deliver in 1–3 business days, regional in 2–5, cross-country in 5–10, with extra time for permits, escorts, remote sites, or international legs. Providing exact dimensions, weight, pickup/delivery locations, timing windows, and on-site loading equipment enables a fast, accurate quote.
