California Heavy Equipment Transport
Moving heavy equipment in California means dealing with permits, escorts, and weight-restricted roads before the load ever leaves the yard. We handle the permitting and routing for construction equipment, farm machinery, and oversized loads across the state, so a project delay doesn’t turn into a shipping delay too.

California's Trusted Heavy Equipment Transport Company
Whether you’re moving an excavator between job sites, relocating a combine after harvest, or shipping a dozer to a new project, we make heavy equipment transport straightforward from pickup to delivery.
Our carrier network specializes in oversized and overweight loads. We match your machine to the right trailer, whether that’s a flatbed, lowboy, RGN (removable gooseneck), or step-deck, and we handle the permitting, routing, and escort coordination that heavy haul requires.
We move equipment for contractors, farmers, dealerships, rental yards, and private owners across California, and we’ve built our process around the one thing that matters most on a heavy haul job: getting your machine there safely, legally, and on time.
For example, the price of a local move over 300 miles will be two dollars a mile for any equipment under 25 long and 9 feet high. Keep in mind if you need an oversize service, we can get permits and have our own escorts to get your heavy equipment moved fast. We understand that with construction jobs time is money.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs About Heavy Equipment Transport
How much does it cost to ship heavy equipment in California?
Cost depends on the equipment’s size, weight, distance, and whether it requires special permits or escort vehicles. Get a free quote for pricing specific to your machine and route.
Do I need a permit to transport my equipment?
Yes, most oversized or overweight equipment typically requires state and sometimes county or city permits. We handle this process for you as part of your shipment.
What size equipment can you transport?
We transport equipment of nearly any size and weight, from compact skid steers to full-size excavators, bulldozers, tractors, lifts, and cranes, using flatbed, lowboy, or RGN trailers as needed. For example, Our crane service loaded a Water pump skid (30 long, 8 wide, 8.5 tall, 27,00 lbs.) in Murrieta, California unit onto an RGN trailer. The skid was going to Puerto Rico but first had to go to the port in Jacksonville. We had to hire team drivers because the sailing date was set for four days. We accomplished the job within three days. The total price for shipment was $7,600.00.
How long does heavy equipment transport take?
Most in-state shipments take 2 to 5 days depending on distance, permitting requirements, and route restrictions. We’ll give you an estimated delivery window with your quote.
Do you provide door-to-door or job site delivery?
Yes, we deliver directly to your job site, farm, or specified location whenever access allows.
