Heavy Equipment Moving in PA, NJ, DE & MD
Equip Trucking & Warehousing, LLC, has a pedigree in construction equipment rigging and hauling services that dates back more than 60 years from our predecessor Joyce Equipment. We draw from three generations of expertise in our rigging crews, which means customers throughout PA, NJ, DE, and MD can count on us to deliver comprehensive services for moving heavy construction equipment.
Equip Trucking is the best choice for transporting equipment of all sizes, shapes and weights. We can haul Kubota, Agco, Hitachi, Komatsu, John Deere, Case, Caterpillar equipment and much more. Our experience includes bulldozers, excavators, wheel loaders, graders, scrapers, backhoes, compactors, asphalt pavers, drilling rigs, and others. We can handle every aspect of the work, including site assessments, disassembly, lifting/jacking, securement, transport, and on-site reassembly. We have an extensive track record of helping our customers get their heavy equipment and machines to the job site on time — and safely.
Specialized Rigging Hardware & Heavy-Haul Fleet
At Equip Trucking, we understand most "standard" trailers are incapable of hauling big machines. Our equipment fleet includes an assortment of trucks and trailers intended explicitly for carrying substantial loads. Our selection includes flatbed trailers that can handle the bulk of our hauling projects, and we also feature a variety of drop decks, removable gooseneck lowboys for larger machines, Landoll hydraulic slide-axle tilt step decks for tracked equipment to drive onto directly, and rollback tilt-bed trucks. When your equipment is incapable of driving onto the trailer under its own power, we can lift it using our 100-ton-capacity bridge crane.
We use rigging equipment on-site that includes shackles, wire rope and synthetic web slings, chain slings, master links, eye bolts, hoist rings, spreader beams, lifting clamps, machinery skates, and hydraulic gantries. Every shackle, sling, and hook we use is rated and inspected to ASME B30 standards before every lift to provide you with peace of mind. We also have the experience and expertise to ensure the right equipment match for your hauling job.

Rigging Safety: OSHA, ASME, and Inspection Protocols
We recognize that construction equipment represents a significant investment for most companies. We take every precaution to protect your machinery when loading and unloading and while it's in transit, following standards such as OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart H for rigging, ASME B30.9 for slings, and ASME B30.20 for below-the-hook lifting devices. Every sling, shackle, and hook is inspected before each lift, and we engage in third-party inspections on all rigging gear on a quarterly basis. What's more, our lead riggers hold OSHA Competent Person credentials per 29 CFR 1926.1404.
In addition to our rigging protocols, our drivers are among the safest on the road. Our support crews implement the most stringent measures to minimize the risk of damage. We're also experts at route planning, enabling us to avoid trouble spots and heavily congested areas when possible.

The Equip Trucking Rigging Process: Plan, Disassemble, Lift, Transport, Reassemble
Equip Trucking & Warehousing, LLC follows a series of steps to get your equipment from point A to point B. Your heavy machinery transport project begins with an initial consultation with an expert on our team. We take the time to learn more about your specialized equipment to determine timelines and your availability to coordinate a pickup.
Review the details below to see our heavy machinery hauling process from start to finish.
1. Site Assessment and Lift Plan
Our team performs an on-site walk to get the lay of the land. This includes assessing load weights, ground conditions, route surveys, and permitting needs before we develop a plan.
2. Disassembly and Rigging Prep
During this stage, we perform a partial teardown of the equipment as necessary for relocation. This also is when the rigging gear is staged to provide a smooth and seamless loading process.
3. Lifting, Jacking, and Loading
Depending on the size of your equipment, our heavy machinery movers can drive construction machines directly on platforms or use in-house resources to lift devices weighing several tons. These include slings, spreader beams, and gantries.
4. Securement and Transport
Our trucks and utility vehicles are engineered to haul equipment short and long distances, with escort vehicles as needed for oversized heavy loads. Our route planning accounts for state-by-state oversize permits and curfew restrictions, as well. Relocate equipment to a facility in a different state or nearby county in your area.
Our team will create a custom route for your delivery, with a designated rigging foreman in charge of the lift plan from start to finish. Our drivers undergo routine rigging training for the latest industry knowledge, and we ensure your assets stay in place using tie-downs and straps. You get the satisfaction of knowing our staff keeps a close watch on flatbeds and trailers throughout the trip.
5. Unloading, Reassembly, and Commissioning
Tell us exactly where you want your new or used equipment, and we'll optimize your plant, facility or on-site setup. Our crew will unload, rebuild and install your shipments on location. We'll stay in touch with you during the heavy equipment moving procedure so you'll know when to expect arrivals.
