Machinery Movers Services

Heavy equipment transportation companies provide end-to-end logistics for moving oversized or heavy machinery. This typically includes initial project planning, obtaining any required permits for oversize/overweight transport, and arranging the appropriate transport vehicles (such as lowboy trailers, flatbeds, or specialized heavy-haul trucks). They also take care of the loading and unloading of equipment and secure the machinery for safe transit.

Safety is ensured through a combination of proper equipment, skilled personnel, and strict procedures. First, machinery movers conduct a detailed risk assessment and planning phase: we evaluate the machinery’s specifications (weight, dimensions, center of gravity) and the route conditions to mitigate any risks. We use state of the art lifting and securing equipment, such as certified lifting slings, heavy duty chains, binders, and custom pallets or crates, to secure the load.

The cost varies, based on the size, weight, distance, complexity of the rigging required, and whether reassembly services are needed. Contact us for a detailed, customized quote.

When selecting a heavy machinery moving company, consider the following criteria to ensure you’re choosing a capable and reliable partner:

• Experience and track record: look for a company with many years (or decades) of experience, specifically in heavy equipment and industrial moves, not just general household moving. Experienced movers will have encountered and solved challenges similar to yours before.

• Specialized skills and equipment: the mover should have certified riggers, heavy-haul drivers, and access to cranes or forklifts as needed. They should also own or readily obtain specialized trailers and rigging gear suited to your machinery.

• Comprehensive services: it’s advantageous if the company can provide one-stop services (permitting, disassembly, storage, etc.) rather than you coordinating multiple contractors. This ensures accountability and smoother scheduling.

• Safety and compliance: ask about their safety record and procedures. A reputable mover will gladly discuss how they protect your equipment and their workers during the process. They should be fully insured and familiar with OSHA regulations and transportation laws.

• References or case studies: check reviews or ask for examples of similar projects they’ve completed successfully.

• Capacity and coverage: for nationwide moves, ensure the company is licensed for interstate transport and has a broad service area.

• Project management and communication: gauge if they offer a dedicated point of contact and regular updates. Good communication is key to a stress-free move.
