Expert Heavy Lift Transport Services

Heavy lift transport is designed for freight that exceeds standard weight, size, or handling limits. Common examples include industrial machinery, transformers, construction equipment, modular structures, aerospace components, and super loads. Sims Global Solutions coordinates specialized trailers, securement, permitting, route planning, and carrier capacity so the shipment moves safely and compliantly from origin to destination.

Sims Global Solutions supports heavy haul moves with RGN/lowboy trailers, multi-axle configurations, double drop equipment, flatbeds, step decks, and other specialized open-deck options. The right trailer depends on weight, height, loading method, ground clearance, and route restrictions. For taller or heavier equipment, lower deck heights and multi-axle setups help maintain compliance.

Yes. Oversized and overweight freight often requires state permits, approved routing, and sometimes escort vehicles. Sims Global Solutions works with permitting and route planning teams to evaluate road conditions, weather, traffic, bridge limits, and legal restrictions. This reduces delays and helps ensure the move meets applicable transportation and safety requirements.

Heavy lift freight is secured using equipment appropriate for the load, such as chains, binders, straps, blocking, bracing, and specialized rigging. The securement plan considers weight distribution, center of gravity, road vibration, and loading method. Sims Global Solutions emphasizes proper cargo securement to prevent shifting, damage, and safety issues during transit.

Many heavy lift moves benefit from crane and rigging support, especially when equipment must be lifted, positioned, or installed at the destination. Sims Global Solutions offers crane and rigging coordination for site assessment, lift planning, rigging, and final placement. This creates a start-to-finish solution when over-the-road hauling alone is not enough.

Pricing is based on factors such as load dimensions, weight, equipment type, lane, permits, escorts, crane or rigging needs, timing, and route complexity. Super loads and multi-axle moves typically require more planning than standard flatbed freight. Accurate quotes usually require detailed measurements, pickup and delivery information, and any site access constraints.

Sims Global Solutions provides real-time shipment visibility through SimsTrak, its Transportation Management System. Customers can quote, schedule, and track shipments while receiving regular updates and data-rich reporting. For complex heavy lift moves, tracking and proactive communication help teams monitor progress, coordinate receiving crews, and respond quickly to schedule changes.
