Transporting and hauling heavy equipment presents its fair share of challenges, from logistical complexities to regulatory hurdles. To improve the prospect of your equipment arriving safely, the services of reliable heavy equipment hauling companies can be beneficial.
Any time you need heavy equipment transport and towing services, it’s important to contact a professional like Wide Load Shipping. That’s because we have the resources and experience to deliver your oversized equipment anywhere you need it on time.
At Wide Load Shipping, we understand oversized equipment transport can be stressful, especially if it requires permits, pilot cars and extra resources to load and unload. During oversized equipment transport, the right trailer has to be used to accommodate the weight and size. Among the oversized equipment we transport include excavators, cranes, backhoes, tractors, skid steers and more. Each piece of equipment is handled carefully during loading and unloading.
To move heavy equipment safely, appropriate lifting equipment is necessary to lift and position the machinery. Once it is on the truck or trailer, it must be secured to prevent unwanted movement, and a professional driver with experience on the road is essential. Mapping out the best route can also help.
If your machinery or equipment unexpectedly stalls or goes out of service on the road, Wide Load Shipping can help. We are a qualified heavy equipment towing company with over 14 years of experience. In addition to our fleet of towing machinery, including trailers and trucks, we also have expert operators who can handle various equipment types.
When you trust professionals to ship your oversized equipment, you can do your day-to-day business without worrying. At Wide Load Shipping, we understand your oversized equipment is valuable, and we shall take good care of it until it’s safely delivered. We can transport oversized equipment to your door or a specific terminal. Oversized equipment shipping saves you much time since you can’t drive your equipment long distances.
With wide load shipping, your oversized equipment shipping request is assigned to a specialist who is knowledgeable about handling it. They acquire the needed paperwork and shipping permits if your equipment is oversized or overweight. Furthermore, they identify the best trailer for transport depending on the dimensions and size of your equipment.
Every piece of equipment we transport is fully insured, and you are the insurance holder. With this arrangement, if your equipment does not reach your destination safely, you can directly claim compensation from the insurance company without passing through us.
When we get to the pick-up location, our team thoroughly inspects your equipment and fills out a bill of lading (BOL) form, which is used at delivery to verify your equipment arrived safely. To make the inspection process easy and fast, clean your equipment to see dents and scratches. Doing that means you have an easy time comparing the state of your equipment to the details on the BOL form at the delivery location because it will arrive clean.
Once your equipment is loaded on a trailer, it’s well-secured for transport. We ensure all the attachments are lowered and well-secured to create stability. A piece of equipment that’s not well secured or secured is bound to cause an accident. In addition, have pilot cars to guide the trailer driver when shipping oversized or overweight equipment.
The work of the pilot car is to control traffic, keep motorists at a safe distance and instruct the trailer’s driver on the routes to use. Shipping oversized equipment without pilot cars can be dangerous because drivers don’t have a clear view of oncoming traffic or know the best routes to use without being stuck.

When you send us a shipping request quote or call us to request our services, we ask for more information about what you want to transport. Our logistics agent will ask for the heavy equipment’s origin and destination zip code and dimensions.
Our agent will then calculate an estimate for you depending on the type of equipment you need delivered, the type of transportation required, and the distance. If you require an urgent or frequent move, they will also consider these cost factors when coming up with the estimate. We handle the entire transportation process, from dispatch to delivery.
