Expert Heavy Haul Transport & Rigging Services

Standard car transport is typically priced differently than heavy haul freight. Costs usually depend on distance, vehicle size, operating condition, open versus enclosed transport, fuel market conditions, and pickup or delivery flexibility. Heavy equipment, RV tow-away, fleet moves, or oversized vehicles may require specialized trailers, permits, or route planning, which changes the rate structure significantly.

Heavy haul transport is generally used when freight exceeds standard legal limits for weight, width, height, or length. Examples include industrial machinery, construction equipment, modular building sections, aerospace components, and oversized material handling equipment. These moves often require specialized trailers, securement plans, permits, escorts, and route analysis before shipment can be safely dispatched.

Sims Global Solutions coordinates permit and route planning as part of oversized and heavy haul transportation. The team evaluates load dimensions, weight, road restrictions, bridge clearances, weather, traffic conditions, and state-specific requirements. When needed, escort services and crane or rigging coordination can be included to support compliant movement from pickup through final placement.

Equipment selection depends on the freight’s height, weight, loading method, and route restrictions. Common options include RGN and lowboy trailers, multi-axle RGN equipment, double drops, flatbeds, and step decks. Step decks help lower taller freight, while RGN trailers are often preferred for heavy machinery that needs easier loading and unloading.

Yes. Crane and rigging services can be paired with heavy haul transport for a complete solution. This may include site assessment, lift planning, rigging and load securement, equipment positioning, and final installation support. Coordinating transportation and rigging through one logistics partner helps reduce handoff risk and keeps the project organized.

Lead time depends on the complexity of the move, especially dimensions, weight, required permits, escort needs, and route constraints. Simple open-deck freight may move faster, while super loads and multi-state oversized shipments require more planning. Providing accurate dimensions, weights, loading details, and site access information early helps the team secure equipment and approvals efficiently.
