Transporting Heavy Equipment
Before choosing a transport company to haul your heavy machinery, there are many things to consider. Moving heavy equipment and oversize items typically require extensive research and special handling throughout the shipping process. Understanding heavy equipment and oversize loads can make the transportation process go smoothly for every one involved. Locating a transport company with substantial knowledge in this can certainly help.
Important Information
When shipping heavy equipment/freight there are many regulations for length, width, weight, and height. Your load may require permits before travel can be permitted. The permits are on a per-shipment bases and can very state to state. However, most states will provide permits that breakdown travel time and operating hours. For example, on the east coast the legal height is 13'6 but on the west coast and some mid west states it is 14' tall. Before choosing your transport company, verifying they will include permits in the heavy haul quote provided can be crucial. One Call Logistics will always include permit costs upfront to our customers. In addition to permits, depending on how large the unit or over size load actually is, a pilot car may be required. For those who are wondering what a pilot car is, it is an escort vehicle. It used to escort trucks with large loads, through certain areas that are needed. Be sure to talk to your shipping company for further details on your heavy equipment transport!
