What heavy equipment can Sims Global Solutions move?
Sims Global Solutions supports machinery, construction equipment, industrial components, material handling equipment, oversized freight, and high-value cargo. Depending on the load profile, the team can coordinate heavy haul tractors, RGN/lowboy trailers, step decks, double drops, multi-axle equipment, and related services such as route planning, securement, permits, and crane or rigging coordination.
Do you handle permits and escorts in New York and New Jersey?
Yes. For oversized and overweight equipment, Sims Global Solutions works with permitting and route planning teams to support compliant transportation. In New York and New Jersey, this can include planning around bridge restrictions, urban routes, port access, escort needs, weather, and delivery windows so your freight moves safely and legally from origin to destination.
What trailers are used for heavy equipment transportation?
Trailer selection depends on height, weight, dimensions, loading method, and route restrictions. Common options include flatbeds for side or crane loading, step decks for taller freight, RGNs or lowboys for heavy equipment, double drops for extra height clearance, and multi-axle configurations for overweight or super load transportation.
Can you coordinate crane and rigging services?
Sims Global Solutions can coordinate crane and rigging services for lifting, positioning, and installation of heavy or oversized equipment. This often includes site assessment, lift planning, rigging and load securement, and alignment with transportation, permitting, and route planning teams for a start-to-finish equipment move.
How do you protect high-value machinery in transit?
High-value machinery receives enhanced planning and handling. Sims Global Solutions can coordinate secure loading, proper cargo securement with chains, binders, straps, and other equipment, real-time tracking, and additional protection through A+ rated supplemental cargo insurance where appropriate. The goal is to reduce risk, improve visibility, and protect valuable cargo throughout transit.
How far in advance should I schedule heavy equipment service?
For standard specialized moves, early scheduling helps secure the right trailer and carrier capacity. Oversized, overweight, permitted, escorted, or crane-assisted moves should be planned as early as possible because route surveys, permits, equipment availability, and site coordination can affect timing, especially in congested New York and New Jersey corridors.
Can I track my heavy haul shipment in real time?
Yes. Sims Global Solutions uses SimsTrak, its Transportation Management System, to provide real-time shipment visibility, updates, consolidated billing, and reporting. Customers can quote, schedule, and track shipments while the operations team monitors loads from dispatch through delivery, helping reduce uncertainty on complex heavy equipment moves.
Do you provide nationwide moves from New York or New Jersey?
Yes. Sims Global Solutions supports transportation across all 50 states, North America, and international shipping needs. If your equipment is originating in New York or New Jersey, the team can coordinate outbound regional, cross-country, port-connected, or multi-modal solutions using its extensive carrier network and specialized freight capabilities.
