Each barn has unique characteristics and that is why we decide on each transportation plan according to the size, the age, and the condition of the structure. Before we get into the specifics, you can think of our service this way: if it's sheltered tools, animals, memories, or machinery, we’ve probably moved it before.
Some of the structures we move as part of our barn relocation services include:
Pole Barns: Lightweight, often used for storage or livestock
Timber Frame Barns: Heavy-duty, often historic or custom-built
Prefabricated Barns: Modular units ideal for sectional transport
Metal Barns: Durable, often used for equipment or commercial use
Agricultural Sheds: Utility structures for feed, tools, or machinery
Historic Barns: Carefully preserved with structural integrity in mind
All barns are braced, prepped, and secured so that there will be no damage in the process of the move. Our team ensures there are no shortcuts and no surprises.

How We Execute Safe, Professional Barn Transport Every Time
Before anything moves an inch, our team works closely with you to understand the structure, the land, and the logistics behind the job. Paying that little bit of extra attention upfront helps us prevent delays and protects every part of your building. We follow a proven, step-by-step process to ensure your barn arrives intact and on schedule:
Assessment: We inspect the barn’s structure, foundation, and condition to determine the best relocation strategy.
Planning: Our logistics team maps the route, checks overhead and road clearances, and coordinates timing.
Permitting: We handle all required permits - state, county, and DOT - so you don’t have to.
Preparation: We brace the barn, disconnect utilities, and prepare it for lifting.
Loading: Using hydraulic jacks, cranes, or RGN trailers, we lift and secure the barn for transport.
Transport: Our drivers follow approved routes with escort vehicles for oversize load safety.
Delivery: We position, lower, and secure the barn at its new location, ready for use.
Throughout the process, you’ll stay informed with dedicated project coordination and clear communication.

Professional Equipment and Trailers Used for Barn Shipping
Before we bring any machinery to your site, we evaluate the barn’s dimensions, weight, and access points so we can match it with the exact tools needed for a smooth, secure move.

RGN Trailers: Ideal for tall, heavy barns with low clearance needs
Step Deck Trailers: Perfect for modular or sectional barn moves
Hydraulic Lift Systems: Safely raise and stabilize structures
Pilot Cars & Escort Vehicles: Ensure safe passage for oversize loads
Every move is customized for height, width, weight, and route safety - because no two barns are the same.
