Heavy equipment transport services require a transporter with a lot of experience in heavy haul. Unlike shipping standard LTL and FTL freight, heavy equipment transport requires special handling, oversize load permits, and special freight carriers. Additionally, heavy equipment shipping needs certain specialized trailers in order to haul certain equipment items. These tractors, forklifts, and backhoes are big purchases, and you want to be sure they safely arrive.
Most equipment will need to be shipped on a flatbed or standard trailer, though in some cases it may be able to be towed. For larger or non-moving equipment, you will likely require a specialized trailer such as a step deck or a double drop deck. For international shipments, you can use a roll-on/roll-off service, or a flat-rack container.
For a majority of heavy equipment shipping needs, a simple flatbed should be sufficient. Flatbeds are available in a variety of sizes and capacities, allow for easy loading and unloading, and can carry up to 48,000 pounds. When choosing a flatbed hauler, confirm that the truck will be able to handle the weight of your equipment and that you have the tools necessary to load and unload it.
You may require a special trailer for oversized or very heavy equipment. Step deck and double drop trailers can allow for taller or heavier equipment to be loaded and transported. If your equipment warrants a specialty trailer, it's highly likely that it will also require special permits. Consult with your transport provider so that necessary permits and special considerations are taken care of.
When shipping your heavy equipment overseas you have a few options. The most common method for shipping heavy equipment is Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO). Your equipment is driven on and off the transport vessel via ramps. Another option is a flat rack container. These racks can hold equipment up to 88,000 pounds.
For some international shipments, it may be necessary to disassemble your equipment prior to shipping and then reassemble upon arrival.
North Gate Machinery allows you to be in control. Create a shipment listing, detailing your equipment including brand, make, and model. Be prepared with the dimensions, including weight as well.
Once you have submitted your listing, you'll start receiving shipping quotes from transporters who specialize in moving heavy equipment.

RGN trailers are removable gooseneck trailers. The gooseneck at the front can be removed, creating a ramp for easy equipment loading.
Flatbed trailers are one of the most common types on the road. They work for a wide variety of heavy equipment transport needs.
Also known as drop decks or lowboys, step deck trailers have multiple levels allowing freight to be lower to the ground for taller loads.
