Trusted Jet Hauling and Delivery
Transporting jets like private, business, or commercial aircraft calls for an expert touch. Unlike standard heavy equipment, jets are incredibly complex machines with delicate parts and advanced systems. Safety is key when transporting a jet. Doing the job properly calls for a combination of highly detailed planning, the proper equipment, and expertise only available from experienced professionals.
At Heavy Equipment Transport, we specialize in jet transport services across the United States and beyond. You might need to move a private jet for maintenance, ship business jets between airports, or transport components for assembly or storage. No matter what your jet hauling needs are, we’re here to help.
Our Professional Jet Transport Services
1. Detailed Planning and Coordination
Every jet transport project starts with a comprehensive planning phase. Jets vary greatly in size, configuration, and structure, so a custom approach is essential.
Jet Size Assessment: We evaluate the jet’s size, weight, and parts (fuselage, wings, tail) to select the right trailer from our versatile fleet.
Planning the Safest, Most Efficient Route: We plan the route, considering obstacles like narrow roads, construction work, and low-clearance bridges, and secure any necessary permits.
Keeping Your Haul on Schedule: We coordinate pickup and delivery times to minimize downtime and meet your operational needs.
2. Managing Permits, Escorts, and Regulations
Transporting a jet, especially when disassembly is required, often means getting organizing permits, escort vehicles, and coordinating with state and local authorities. Our team handles permits by securing the necessary state and federal approvals before our drivers set out.
Wide-body jets or oversized sections usually need escort vehicles or pilot cars to clear the route, alerting other drivers to the oversized load and maintaining safety on the road. Heavy Equipment Transport takes care of all pilot car coordination and ensures full legal compliance throughout the journey.
3. Safe Jet Loading, Disassembly, and Transport
Jet parts need careful handling during loading, transport, and unloading. We have the expertise to do just that.
Disassembly and Component Removal: Jets may require partial disassembly like wing removal or fuselage lifting, or packaging of sensitive parts. Our team fashions cradles for secure transport.
Lifting and Cradle Fabrication: We use cranes, forklifts, and additional specialized equipment to lift and load parts, including custom cradles to minimize movement and protect delicate parts.
Protection During Transport: High-value components are secured with soft straps, padded supports, and weatherproof covers, with vibration-reducing materials to prevent damage during transit.
On-time Delivery: Your logistics coordinator will also keep you in the loop with real time updates so you always know the status of your load.
