Heavy Construction Equipment Shipment Requirements

Shipping heavy construction equipment has its own unique set of requirements. Heavy machinery needs specialized care to be shipped safely and efficiently, whether it's earth moving equipment, cranes, or any other large-scale operation requiring special tools. Aside from needing the right type of truck and trailer for the job, it's important to load the equipment correctly and strap it in with appropriate tie down gear so that nothing shifts mid-transport.

Depending on your geographical area, permits may be necessary to proceed with convoy movement as well. Delivering specialized heavy construction equipment requires skill, knowledge, experience, and regulatory understanding – all parts of a successful shipment process that gives your cargo the best chance of arriving at its destination safe and sound!
