Our Professional Horse Trailer Transport Services

1. Detailed Planning and Coordination

Detailed planning is the foundation for a successful haul. Our logistics specialists assess the size and weight of your trailer to figure out the best equipment and route.

Trailer Size & Weight Assessment: We evaluate the dimensions and weight of the trailer, including any additional features like living quarters, so our experts can choose the best transport solution and manage load distribution.
Route Planning by the Professionals: Our team checks for potential obstacles like narrow roads, diversions, and construction zones. If the trailer is oversized, we’ll take care of permits and escort vehicles to keep the journey right on track.
On-Time Pickup and Delivery: We coordinate pickup and delivery times that fit your schedule, whether you’re transporting locally or across the country.

2. Managing Permits and Compliance

Transporting horse trailers, especially oversized or custom units, can involve dealing with complex regulations. Heavy Equipment Transport is dedicated to making your trailer transport simple, so we manage all the necessary permits and legal requirements for you.

Expert Permit Management: We take care of the permit process for oversized and overweight trailers, making sure we meet each state’s specific requirements.
Escort Vehicles for Your Haul: For larger trailers, we arrange for pilot cars or escort vehicles to guide the way, alerting other drivers to the oversized load to keep everyone safe on the road.
Comprehensive Regulatory Compliance: Our team handles all regulatory requirements so your trailer transport goes off without a hitch, without any legal complications.

3. Expert Loading, Transport, and Unloading

Safe loading and secure transport are essential when moving horse trailers of any size. We use the right equipment and techniques to handle your trailer with care from start to finish.

Loading: We use cranes, forklifts, and ramps to load the trailer safely onto the transport vehicle. Our team makes sure the trailer is lifted with minimal risk of surface damage.
Securing the Trailer: Once the trailer is loaded, we use soft straps, tie-downs, and custom supports to stop it from shifting during transport. This keeps the trailer stable throughout the journey.
Complete Safety Inspections: Before we hit the road, our team does a thorough inspection to make sure everything is secure and ready for transport.
