Heavy Machinery Movers — Professional Transport Services

A machinery mover is a specialized transport provider that plans, secures, and moves heavy, oversized, or high-value equipment from one location to another. Unlike standard freight carriers, machinery movers coordinate trailer selection, load securement, permits, routing, escorts, and sometimes crane or rigging support so industrial equipment can be transported safely and compliantly.

Heavy machinery is moved safely through detailed load planning, proper trailer matching, engineered securement, and compliant routing. Sims Global Solutions reviews weight, dimensions, tie-down points, loading method, road restrictions, and delivery requirements before dispatch. Cargo is secured with appropriate chains, binders, straps, and blocking to reduce movement and protect the equipment during transit.

Common equipment includes lowboy and RGN trailers for tall or heavy loads, double drop trailers for extra height clearance, flatbeds for side or crane loading, and step decks for freight that needs a lower deck height. For certain projects, crane and rigging services may also be coordinated to lift, position, or install machinery at the destination.

Yes. Oversized and overweight machinery often requires permits, route planning, and escort coordination before it can legally move. Sims Global Solutions works with permitting and routing teams to account for height, width, weight, bridge limits, road conditions, weather, and state-specific requirements so each move is planned for safe, compliant execution.

Heavy machinery moving costs are based on load dimensions, weight, trailer type, origin, destination, permits, escorts, insurance requirements, loading method, and delivery timeline. A compact machine on a flatbed typically prices differently than a super load requiring multi-axle equipment and route surveys. Accurate dimensions and photos help produce a more reliable quote.

Yes. Sims Global Solutions supports heavy haul and oversized freight across all 50 states, with broader North America and international capabilities where applicable. The team can coordinate specialized carriers, route planning, permit services, and equipment options for machinery, industrial assets, construction equipment, and other complex freight moving across long distances.

Yes. Crane and rigging services can be coordinated when machinery must be lifted, positioned, or installed rather than simply delivered. This may include site assessment, lift planning, rigging, load securement, and coordination with transport teams. Pairing rigging with heavy haul helps create a smoother start-to-finish solution for complex equipment moves.

Sims Global Solutions uses SimsTrak, its Transportation Management System, to provide shipment visibility, scheduling, tracking, and reporting. Customers can receive regular, real-time updates and data-rich shipment information throughout the move. This is especially valuable for high-value machinery, time-sensitive deliveries, and complex projects involving multiple parties or delivery milestones.
