Airplane Transport Across the U.S.
Moving airplanes by road requires a level of precision and experience beyond standard heavy hauling. Whether fully intact or disassembled, aircraft are large, structurally unique, with delicate parts that need expert handling. They weren’t designed to travel on highways, squeeze through cities, or clear interstate overpasses. Transporting aircraft needs a logistics team that understands oversized transport regulations.
With over 16 years of experience, Heavy Equipment Transport are experts in airplane shipping across the United States, or across the border to Canada and Mexico. We’re committed to making things easy for you. Our team manages every stage from route planning and permits to loading and delivery. We make the process straightforward, reliable, and safe, so your aircraft arrives exactly where you need it.
Our Professional Airplane Transport Services
1. Planning and Coordination Every Step of the Way
Detailed planning and a customized approach are the foundations for a successful haul. Our logistics specialists coordinate with you to meticulously map out each detail of the transport.
Aircraft Size & Weight Assessment:
We review the dimensions and weight of the fuselage, wings, tail sections, and any additional parts. This helps us choose the right trailer, so the aircraft travels with the proper support.
Route Planning:
Our team examines height restrictions, bridge clearances, construction zones, and state-by-state width limits. When oversized airplane parts need specialized routing, we deal with all adjustments and prepare contingency plans to keep the haul on track and on schedule to its destination.
Scheduling:
We coordinate pickup and delivery times that work with your operation, regardless of whether you’re shipping locally or across the United States.
2. Compliance Professionals Who Handle Permits, Pilot Cars, and More
Heavy Equipment Transport takes care of all the required permits, documents and coordination effort. With us, your aircraft shipment will remain completely legal and on schedule.
We assign a highly experienced logistics coordinator to oversee your shipment. They’ll be with you every step of your transport’s journey, handling permit applications, planning routes, including factoring in strict height and width regulations that can change across state lines. When needed, they’ll schedule pilot cars for wide or tall sections.
3. Safe Aircraft Loading and Transport Done by the Experts
Aircraft require experienced handling, both during loading and while hauling on the road. Heavy Equipment Transport puts structural protection and stability throughout the entire process at the top of our priorities.
Cranes and Lifting Equipment: We arrange cranes, forklifts, and ground support for loading large or fragile components. Soft straps, padded lifting bars, and non-abrasive rigging help prevent surface damage.
Secure Transport Methods: We brace your transport using soft straps, padded blocks, structural tie-down points, and custom-built supports to prevent shifting, flexing, or vibration during travel.
Safety Inspections: Before transport begins, our team inspects both the aircraft and the equipment. We confirm that every strap, brace, and connection is ready for a safe haul.
Timely Delivery: We’ll give you live updates on your transport’s journey so you always know where it is on route and when it’s expected to arrive.
All Heavy Equipment Transport drivers are certified, with years of hauling experience, and fully insured. Your airplane is moved by professionals who understand both safe transportation and aircraft handling.
