Reliable Mining Equipment Transport Services

Mining equipment transport costs are based on equipment dimensions, weight, route distance, trailer type, permit requirements, escorts, loading needs, and delivery timing. Oversized or overweight machinery often requires route surveys, specialized trailers, and state permits. Providing accurate measurements, photos, origin and destination details, and available loading equipment helps the team quote more efficiently.

Sims Global Solutions can coordinate transportation for many types of mining and aggregate equipment, including excavators, loaders, bulldozers, crushers, screeners, drills, conveyors, haul components, and other heavy machinery. Trailer selection depends on height, weight, ground clearance, axle requirements, and whether the unit can be driven, lifted, or winched onto the trailer.

Oversized and overweight mining equipment typically requires permits for each state or jurisdiction along the route. The planning team reviews dimensions, weight, axle configuration, and road restrictions, then coordinates compliant routing, permits, and escort requirements when needed. This helps reduce delays, violations, and unnecessary handling during transit.

Common trailer options include RGN and lowboy trailers for heavy machinery, multi-axle configurations for extreme weight, double drop trailers for taller equipment, and flatbed or step deck trailers for components or attachments. The best option is selected after reviewing equipment weight, height, length, loading method, and route restrictions.

Transit time depends on distance, route complexity, permit approval timelines, escort requirements, weather, and loading or unloading schedules. Standard heavy haul shipments may move quickly once permits are secured, while super loads can require more planning. Expedited options may be available when equipment is needed urgently at a mine, yard, or project site.

Equipment is secured using appropriate chains, binders, straps, blocking, and load-specific securement methods designed to prevent shifting during transit. The carrier and logistics team account for weight distribution, attachment points, trailer compatibility, and route conditions. High-value freight support and tracking options can add another layer of protection and visibility.

Yes. Crane and rigging services can be coordinated when equipment must be lifted, positioned, or installed at the pickup or delivery site. This may include site assessment, lift planning, rigging, load securement, and coordination with permitting and routing teams so the over-the-road move and final placement work together safely.
