Heavy equipment transport

Build an accurate machine transport profile

The model name is not enough. Record dimensions, weight, configuration, attachments, operating status and access at both ends before requesting heavy-haul pricing.

Machine profile

  • Transport length, width and height
  • Transport weight and fuel state
  • Boom, stick, blade or mast position
  • Operating status and ground clearance

Attachments

  • What remains fitted
  • What travels separately
  • Attachment weights and dimensions
  • Securement and loading considerations

Pickup and delivery

  • Site access and surface
  • Loading and unloading capability
  • Appointment or auction deadlines
  • Contact and inspection requirements

Research-to-transport handoff

Prefill model-reference values

Select one of the 460 researched models. The values shown are brochure references, not actual measured machine data.

Reference specifications can differ from the actual configured machine. Confirm dimensions and weight before booking transportation.

Heavy equipment shipping cost: compare the same scope

To price equipment hauling in Canada, send each carrier the same dated machine record, pickup and delivery locations, access photographs and requested dates. This page does not supply a freight rate: request a written quote for the actual movement.

Compare the base haul and every inclusion below. A missing amount is an unanswered question, not a zero cost. Record the currency, tax basis, quote expiry and what must be reconfirmed if the machine or schedule changes.

  • Proposed trailer and number of loads, including attachments carried separately.
  • Loading, unloading, disassembly or recovery assistance, with the responsible party named.
  • Route review, permits and escorts where the carrier determines they apply.
  • Waiting time, appointment changes, storage, additional stops and other conditional charges.
  • Written insurance answers for the named machine and movement, including handling at each end.

Use the written inclusions to build a comparable total. Keep unresolved or conditional charges visible alongside that total; do not replace them with invented allowances.

Prepare an excavator transport request

Identify the exact machine and its travel setup: boom and stick position, bucket or coupler, track width, counterweight and any removed components. Keep operating weight separate from the weight of the actual shipping configuration. Record the source and included equipment for each brochure value, then have the actual load confirmed.

For a machine that does not run, report whether it starts, steers, brakes and rolls. Agree loading assistance before dispatch. A model reference or advertised trailer capacity cannot confirm that the machine can be loaded at your site.
