Excavation equipment is handy for construction sites, road work, mining fields, and more. Companies need a reliable company to ship excavation equipment to a different location once a project is done. Excavation equipment easily maneuvers around job sites but can’t be driven over long distances. A professional and experienced excavation equipment transport company like Wide Load Shipping transports excavation equipment safely and delivers on time. The trailer used is determined by the weight and dimensions of your excavation equipment. Large excavation equipment is driven onto the trailer with care.

Loading and unloading excavation equipment is done carefully to avoid accidents or bruising. We use professional drivers familiar with your excavation equipment and rigging crews to guide them during the loading process. Excavation equipment is loaded on a trailer by driving it through a ramp at a slow speed for precision. Once the excavation equipment is balanced, all the attachments are lowered, and the engine is turned off. It’s then secured using strong chains or straps for transport. The unloading process is similar, but the driver reverses the excavation equipment over the ramps with the guidance of a rigging expert on the ground. Small excavators aren’t always driven on a trailer. Sometimes, they’re lifted using a crane. Once the shipment is dispatched, our drivers make regular integrity stops to tighten the straps and chains securing the excavation equipment. Before we load excavation equipment on a trailer, we inspect it and fill out a Bill of Lading (BOL) form.
Wide Load Shipping works with expert drivers who have years of experience hauling excavation equipment. They’re familiar with different makes of excavation equipment and the best routes used for safe travel and on time delivery. Our affordable transport rates are all-inclusive with no hidden fees. Several factors determine the cost of shipping excavation equipment, including the distance, route, season, mode of transport, size, and dimensions. In addition, we offer expedited transport for urgent excavation equipment shipping services at an added fee. Wide Load Shipping provides excavation equipment transport that’s tailored to fit your needs. Ship your excavation equipment today!
