The Experts In Long Reach Excavator Transport and Logistics

Moving a long reach excavator is never a routine booking. You are shifting a high reach asset. If that machine arrives late or damaged, work stops.

Our job at Heavy Equipment Transport is to prevent that. We plan each long reach excavator move so you can stay focused on production instead of tracking trucks.

What We Handle for Every Long Reach Excavator Transport:

  • Trailer matching for extended booms, counterweights, and overall length
  • Securement planning for long frames, high centers of gravity, and oversized attachments
  • Permit coordination for overlength, overweight, and overheight configurations
  • Axle weight distribution to keep the load compliant across every state or province
  • Route planning for bridges, power lines, and tight access near waterways or foundations
  • Coordination of removable parts such as booms or sticks when disassembly is required
  • Clear communication and updated ETAs from dispatch through delivery

Heavy Equipment Transport has nearly twenty years of experience hauling and delivering long reach excavators.

Long Reach Excavators and Where They Fit on Projects

A long reach excavator is a hydraulic excavator with an extended boom and stick that reaches much farther than a standard machine, often 40 to 100 feet. Many models run on longer or heavier undercarriages for stability.

Contractors use a long reach excavator for dredging, canals, ponds, levees, and bridge work. The carrier can sit back from an edge while the boom reaches the cut, which helps protect people and banks.

That same long front creates risk in transit. Height, length, and overhang climb fast once the machine is on a trailer.

Professional Long Reach Excavator Hauling Services Across North America

We ship long reach excavators across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico through a network of more than 23,000 carriers. You work with a logistics specialist who knows excavator specs, axle weights, and permits.

Most long reach excavator moves ride on lowboy or RGN trailers. On larger carriers, we may remove the boom and stick and send them on a step deck or flatbed.

Our team handles permits, pilot cars, and route planning before the truck moves. We check bridge limits, curfews, and escort rules for every state on the lane.

Long Reach Excavator Hauling for Dredging and Bridge Work

Long reach excavator hauling shows up in a few common cases, such as new purchases, job site transfers, and rental moves at the start or end of short windows.

We also handle auction and resale moves that cross several states or a border and emergency mobilizations after storms or slope failures.

Permits, escorts, and weather all affect timing, so we build those pieces into the plan from the first quote.

How Heavy Equipment Transport Moves a Long Reach Excavator

Every long reach excavator move follows the same basic steps.

  1. Get a quote and confirm dimensions. You share make, model, reach setup, attachments, and accurate dimensions and weight.
  2. Permit and route verification. Our permit staff checks the route states, files oversize or overweight permits, and maps a legal path around low bridges and restrictions.
  3. Securement and trailer assignment. We assign the right lowboy or RGN and, if needed, an extra trailer for boom sections, then block, chain, and cradle the machine.
  4. Pickup, tracking, and delivery confirmation. The driver verifies permits and dimensions, documents condition at pickup, and your specialist sends updates and confirms unloading at delivery.

FAQ

How do you disassemble or prepare a long reach excavator for transport?

We confirm travel setup, remove bucket, boom, stick, or counterweights if needed, then block parts and cap hydraulics.

What permits are required for shipping a long reach excavator across state lines?

If loaded dimensions exceed legal limits in any state, oversize or overweight permits are required, which our staff secures.

Can you coordinate pilot cars or escorts for oversized excavators?

Yes. Long reach excavator loads trigger escort rules for width, height, or overhang, and we arrange certified pilot cars.

How do you keep boom sections protected in transit?

Boom and stick sections ride on cribbing or in cradles with chains in opposing directions and guarded pins and hydraulics.

Do you handle loading and reassembly at the destination site?

We coordinate loading, can arrange cranes, and work with your dealer on boom and counterweight installation.
