Read on to learn more about all the different types of heavy equipment we’re equipped to handle and how we can help you solve all your transportation needs.
Earthmoving and Construction Equipment
Most earthmoving and heavy construction equipment can’t be loaded onto a trailer as easily as cars or trucks. These machines require specialized rigging expertise and trailers to ensure a safe journey from one construction site to the next. Fortunately, our construction industry experience covers a broad spectrum of these assets, including:
- Excavators and Bulldozers: The attachments that make these machines so important for digging and moving earth also makes them difficult to transport. In many cases, the blades on dozers must be removed to ensure they meet width requirements.
- Backhoe Loaders: Often referred to as a “Swiss Army knife” for smaller jobsites, this equipment is used on a variety of urban construction projects throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
- Graders and Scrapers: Used for road construction, these machines are some of the most difficult to transport due to their length. We understand the particular stretch configurations needed to haul this equipment.
Material Handling and Industrial Machinery
It takes a lot of specialized equipment to move goods and components around warehouses, factories, and distribution centers. When the time comes to move that equipment, however, you need special expertise. Equip Trucking & Warehousing knows what it takes to transport machinery including:
- Telehandlers and Forklifts: Commonly found in warehouse environments, forklifts and telehandlers are lighter than most other machines. However, these still require specialized services such as hotshot trucking or flatbed trailers to ensure rapid deployment.
- Cranes: We have extensive experience in moving mobile and static cranes used for the heaviest lifting requirements.
Agricultural Equipment
Having the right equipment in time for the harvest is critical, and Equip Trucking & Warehousing, LLC, provides reliable scheduling so farmers can prevent downtime during their peak windows. We provide expert help for moving:
- Tractors: The massive size of modern tractors means they require substantial logistical experience to transport.
- Harvesters: We deliver this equipment on-time and with the rigging expertise to prevent damage during shipping.
- Combines: Headers typically have to travel separately from combines due to their size, which calls for coordinated logistics with multiple trucks.
Mining and Heavy Industrial Equipment
Machines used for mining are some of the largest and most complex in any industry. Moving this machinery often requires coordination of police escorts, route surveys, and specialized trailers. Equip Trucking & Warehousing brings core competencies that include these and many others that make it easier for us to transport:
- Draglines and Giant Shovels: These are the titans of mining machinery, which call for specific experience in rigging and hauling exceptionally heavy loads.
- Articulated Haulers and Dump Trucks: Off-road mining trucks demand specialized trailers and rigging expertise.
