Heavy Equipment Transportation Services Nationwide
Flatbed, step deck and RGN transportation for construction machinery, industrial equipment and oversized loads.
Moving heavy equipment requires more than finding a truck with enough capacity. Equipment dimensions, weight, loading requirements, trailer configuration, securement, routing and delivery conditions all need to be considered before the shipment moves.
Beemac Trucking provides heavy equipment transportation services throughout the United States for construction companies, manufacturers, equipment dealers, energy companies, contractors and industrial operations.
From construction machinery and industrial equipment to oversized and specialized loads, Beemac combines more than 40 years of transportation experience with professional drivers, open-deck expertise and specialized trailer options.
Whether you're moving one piece of equipment across the state or coordinating heavy equipment transportation across the country, our team can develop a transportation solution around the requirements of the load.
Heavy Equipment Hauling for Construction & Industrial Operations
Heavy equipment comes in different sizes, configurations and weights. That means the same trailer isn't appropriate for every machine.
Beemac Trucking provides heavy equipment hauling and specialized transportation for equipment moving between jobsites, dealerships, manufacturers, facilities, equipment yards and other locations.
Depending on the load, our transportation capabilities can support equipment such as:
Equipment type, dimensions, weight and configuration are reviewed before the appropriate transportation method is selected.
Construction Equipment Transportation
Construction projects depend on having the right equipment at the right location.
Beemac provides construction equipment transportation for contractors and construction companies moving machinery between equipment yards, jobsites, dealerships and project locations.
Depending on the machine, transportation may require a standard flatbed, step deck, RGN or other specialized trailer.
Our team can coordinate transportation for construction machinery such as excavators, dozers, loaders, backhoes, compactors and other equipment based on the requirements of the shipment.
For contractors working across multiple projects or states, Beemac's nationwide transportation network can also provide support beyond a single local equipment move.
Industrial Machinery & Equipment Transportation
Manufacturing plants and industrial facilities often need to move machinery that cannot be transported using conventional enclosed trailers.
Beemac Trucking provides industrial equipment and machinery transportation for equipment moving between manufacturing plants, suppliers, warehouses, project sites and other industrial facilities.
Our open-deck and specialized transportation capabilities are well suited for large, heavy or irregularly shaped machinery.
Before the shipment moves, our transportation team reviews factors such as:
This information helps determine an appropriate trailer and transportation plan.
RGN Transportation for Heavy Equipment
Removable gooseneck trailers, commonly called RGNs, are frequently used for transporting heavy machinery and equipment.
The detachable front of an RGN allows certain equipment to be driven or loaded onto the trailer from ground level. The lower deck height can also provide additional vertical clearance for taller equipment.
Beemac's specialized transportation capabilities include RGN equipment for qualifying heavy and oversized loads.
RGN transportation may be appropriate for machinery such as construction equipment, industrial machines and other heavy freight that requires a low deck or specialized loading configuration.
Trailer selection depends on the actual dimensions, weight and loading requirements of the equipment.
Step Deck Transportation
Step deck trailers provide a lower main deck than standard flatbeds, making them useful for equipment and freight that may be too tall for a conventional flatbed configuration.
Beemac provides step deck transportation for heavy equipment and industrial freight based on shipment requirements.
Step decks can also provide flexibility for equipment that benefits from open-deck loading while requiring additional vertical clearance.
Our team determines whether a flatbed, step deck, RGN or another configuration is better suited to the specific shipment.
Flatbed Heavy Equipment Transportation
Not every heavy equipment shipment requires an RGN.
Some machinery and equipment can be transported efficiently using standard flatbed equipment.
As an experienced flatbed carrier, Beemac provides flatbed heavy equipment transportation for loads that can be safely and legally accommodated by the trailer.
Flatbeds provide flexibility for side, rear and overhead loading, making them useful for many types of machinery, attachments and industrial equipment.
Oversized Heavy Equipment Transportation
Heavy equipment can exceed standard transportation dimensions even when its weight is within conventional limits.
Beemac Trucking provides oversized equipment transportation for qualifying loads requiring additional planning.
Depending on the equipment and route, an oversized shipment may involve:
Requirements vary according to the equipment, states traveled and route. Our transportation team reviews those factors before the load moves.
Heavy Haul Transportation
When equipment exceeds conventional transportation weights or dimensions, a more specialized heavy haul solution may be required.
Beemac Trucking provides heavy haul transportation services for industrial, construction, manufacturing and energy customers with complex freight requirements.
Available equipment can include specialized open-deck configurations designed around the size and weight of the shipment.
Heavy haul transportation requires careful planning because trailer configuration, axle weights, permits, routing and state requirements can all affect how a shipment needs to move.
Beemac works with customers to develop a transportation plan based on the actual equipment being hauled.
Heavy Equipment Transportation for the Energy Industry
Oil, gas and energy operations rely on large machinery and specialized equipment at drilling sites, production facilities, processing locations and infrastructure projects.
Beemac provides heavy equipment and specialized freight transportation for energy-sector customers throughout the United States.
Depending on project requirements, transportation can support oilfield machinery, industrial equipment, skidded equipment and other heavy energy-sector freight.
Our flatbed and specialized transportation experience allows Beemac to support both routine and more complex energy shipments.
Heavy Equipment Transportation for Manufacturers
Heavy machinery doesn't only move to jobsites.
Manufacturers may need to transport newly manufactured equipment to customers, move production machinery between plants or relocate equipment as facilities change.
Beemac provides heavy machinery transportation for manufacturers and industrial companies, including plant-to-plant and manufacturer-to-customer shipments.
Our broader manufacturing freight capabilities also allow us to support the materials, components and finished products surrounding industrial production.
Heavy Equipment Transportation for Equipment Dealers
Equipment dealerships and distributors need transportation between auctions, yards, dealerships and customer locations.
Beemac can support dealers with regional and long-distance heavy equipment transportation based on equipment dimensions and transportation requirements.
This can include individual equipment moves as well as recurring transportation needs.
Heavy Equipment Attachments & Components
Sometimes the machine isn't the only freight that needs to move.
Heavy equipment shipments may also involve:
Depending on the dimensions and configuration of the shipment, these items may move with the primary equipment or require separate transportation. Providing complete shipment information upfront allows our transportation team to plan for both the machine and its accompanying components.
Heavy Equipment Load Securement
Heavy equipment must remain properly secured throughout transportation.
Securement requirements depend on the type of equipment, weight, configuration, trailer and applicable transportation regulations.
Beemac's experienced open-deck drivers use appropriate securement equipment and procedures for the freight being transported.
Depending on the load, securement may involve chains, binders and other equipment appropriate for heavy machinery transportation.
The machine's weight distribution and placement on the trailer are also important considerations before the shipment begins.
Planning a Heavy Equipment Shipment
The more information available before pickup, the better the transportation plan can be.
When requesting a heavy equipment transportation quote, customers should be prepared to provide:
Photographs can also be useful when evaluating unusual or specialized equipment. These details help our team determine trailer requirements and identify potential transportation considerations before dispatch.
