Nationwide Airship Transport Services
Airship transport is one of the most specialized forms of aviation hauling. There are delicate envelopes and gondolas, rigid frames and specialized elements to consider. This means transporting airships can pose unique challenges that require a logistics team experienced in oversized aviation transport.
Heavy Equipment Transport specializes in moving airships across the nation. Our reliable team of experienced logistics coordinators, drivers, and technicians handles every detail. You don’t need to worry about planning out the best route or securing permits, or how to safely load your airship. We’ll handle everything for you, so your airship arrives exactly where you need it, when you need it.
Our Professional Airship Transport Services
1. Planning and Coordination for Transport Success
Airships vary widely in size, material, and structural design, so it’s important to map out the move with accuracy and care. We tailor our plan to your shipment’s exact needs.
Assessing your Airship:
We review the dimensions and weight of the envelope (inflated or deflated), gondola, propulsion units, and any crated sections. This helps us select the proper trailer and plan what other equipment will be needed to load, secure, and transport your airship.
Expert Route Planning:
Height-clearance reviews, oversize width checks, and careful attention to sensitive material transport are all regular parts of transporting airships. Our team studies routes for low bridges, narrow lanes, construction zones, and restrictions that might affect large or delicate parts before choosing the best route for your transport. We pride ourselves on being ready for anything, so we always map out additional contingency options in case anything unexpected pops up.
Scheduling Coordination:
We schedule pickup and delivery times that align with your project’s timeline. We focus on keeping your operation running without disruption.
2. No-Fuss Compliance
Airships qualify as oversized loads. That means they may need permits, routing approvals, and escort vehicles, all of which need to be handled before hitting the road.
Heavy Equipment Transport assigns a dedicated logistics coordinator to manage the entire compliance process. They secure permits, arrange escort vehicles or pilot cars, and handle all communication with state authorities. We take care of the regulatory work so your airship stays fully compliant throughout its journey, no matter what type of airship you’re transporting.
3. Safe Loading, Packaging, and Hauling by Airship Transport Specialists
Lifting and Handling 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.
Protection During Transit: We pack deflated envelopes into protective crates or rolls, then secure them with padded tie-downs to prevent shifting. For gondolas and control cabins, we use custom cradles, vibration-dampening padding, and secure tie-down points to protect electronics and structural elements.
Safety Inspections: Before the haul begins, our team inspects the loading setup, packaging, support systems, and trailer configuration to confirm everything is stable and ready for transport.
Keeping Your Delivery on Schedule: Your logistics coordinator will also keep you in the loop with real time updates so you always know the status of your load.
