Professional Heavy Cargo Weight Transport Services

Heavy cargo weight transport services are our specialty. We plan, permit, and haul heavy cargo with a level of control that protects your schedule. From the first spec check to final offload, we own the work and keep you informed.

Overweight and over-dimensional freight brings real risk. One bad axle plan or missed restriction can trigger shutdowns, fines, or lost windows. We remove that stress with a clear, engineered approach built around your cargo’s numbers.

At Heavy Equipment Transport, we build precision into every move. Your shipment gets a dedicated agent, a verified plan, and real-time updates. We use proven methods and equipment so you’re never guessing.

Our solution is complete. We create engineered transport plans, perform route surveys, and match the right trailer to the job. Our teams coordinate permits, escorts, and on-site needs so trucks roll on time.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Pre-move engineering that verifies specs, balance, and axle modeling.
  • A state-by-state permit strategy with realistic timelines and dependencies.
  • Route surveys that confirm all complexities: bridges, clearances, grades, and turning radii.
  • Trailer and axle selection matched to weight, center of gravity, and support points.
  • Staging and site coordination with cranes, riggers, and plant access.
  • Live communication with dispatch windows, checkpoint ETAs, and GPS tracking.
  • Compliance coverage for escorts, police, curfews, and construction zones.

Common Heavy Cargo We Ship Nationwide

We move high-weight, industrial-grade freight for jobs across the country. Each project starts with verified specs and ends with a safe, documented delivery. We move equipment from all industrial sectors:

  • Construction equipment: cranes, excavators, and loaders.
  • Energy components: turbines, transformers, and generators.
  • Industrial machinery: presses, tanks, and CNC systems.
  • Mining and quarry equipment: crushers, conveyors, and drills.
  • Structural and prefabricated units: bridge beams and plant modules.

Every shipment is paired with the right trailer, power unit, and driver for its exact weight, dimensions, center of gravity, and route constraints.

FAQ — Heavy Cargo Weight Shipping Services

1. What is considered heavy cargo, and how much weight can you handle?

Heavy cargo is any shipment that exceeds legal weight on public roads, which is 80,000 lbs for most US highways. We plan and permit loads from standard overweight ranges into superheavy territory using dual-lane, perimeter, or modular solutions.

2. How do you calculate axle weight distribution for overweight loads?

We analyze single, tandem, and group axle loads, apply bridge rules, and set spacing. If needed, we add jeeps or boosters to spread weight and meet permit requirements.

3. What types of trailers are used for heavy cargo transport?

We use RGNs, lowboys, extendable lowboys, perimeter and dual-lane trailers, step decks, and hydraulic modular transporters. The pick depends on weight, dimensions, and route.

4. How long does it take to secure permits for overweight freight?

Some states issue permits almost immediately, while others can take several days depending on the size of your load and the complexity of your route. Superheavy moves and city approvals can take longer. We confirm timelines up front and book the plan around your date.

5. Can you coordinate multi-state heavy cargo shipments?

Yes. We pull permits for each state, arrange escorts, and manage route surveys and updates so the convoy moves on one aligned plan.
