Fuel levels, batteries, hydraulic systems, and other equipment components must comply with applicable carrier and maritime safety requirements.
Nationwide Heavy Equipment Pickup & Transportation Requirements
For inland transportation, machinery dimensions and weight determine whether a flatbed, step-deck, lowboy, removable gooseneck (RGN), or specialized heavy-haul trailer is required.
Oversized or overweight equipment may require transportation permits, escort vehicles, route surveys, or special loading arrangements.
Pickup locations must have sufficient space and suitable ground conditions for the assigned transport equipment. Non-running machinery may require a winch, forklift, crane, or other loading assistance.
Important Rate Verification & Cargo Inspection
All heavy equipment shipping quotes are based on the dimensions, weight, and operating condition provided by the customer.
Equipment may be measured, weighed, or inspected upon arrival at the port terminal. If actual specifications differ from those provided during quoting, shipping rates and handling charges may be adjusted accordingly.
Vessel space, loading approval, and sailing schedules remain subject to carrier confirmation.
