Reliable National Heavy Haul Services

Heavy haul freight typically includes oversized or overweight cargo that exceeds standard legal dimensions or weight limits for regular trailers. Common examples include construction machinery, industrial equipment, modular buildings, aerospace components, generators, and large manufacturing assets. Sims Global Solutions evaluates load dimensions, weight, securement needs, route restrictions, and trailer requirements before matching the shipment with the right specialized equipment.

Sims Global Solutions coordinates permitting support as part of the heavy haul planning process. Oversized and overweight loads often require state-specific permits, route approvals, travel time restrictions, and escort requirements. The team works with permitting and routing resources to help identify compliant routes, account for road conditions, and reduce delays caused by bridge, height, width, or weight limitations.

Heavy haul pricing is based on several factors, including load weight, dimensions, trailer type, mileage, permits, escort vehicles, route complexity, loading requirements, and delivery timeline. Super loads or multi-axle RGN moves generally require more planning than standard flatbed freight. Providing accurate dimensions, weight, commodity details, and site access information helps the team quote more efficiently.

The heavy haul division supports specialized equipment including RGN, lowboy, multi-axle, 8-axle RGN, double drop, step deck, and flatbed options. Trailer selection depends on the cargo’s height, weight, loading method, ground clearance, and route restrictions. Sims Global Solutions helps determine whether a load needs lower deck height, removable gooseneck loading, or additional axle capacity.

Sims Global Solutions provides heavy haul coverage nationwide, including all 50 states and broader North American logistics capabilities. The company combines its own asset-based opportunities with extensive carrier relationships, helping shippers move oversized freight across long-haul, regional, and complex multi-state lanes while maintaining visibility through its SimsTrak Transportation Management System.

Cargo is secured using appropriate chains, binders, straps, blocking, bracing, and other securement equipment based on the load type and regulatory requirements. For complex machinery or oversized assets, planning may include site assessment, rigging coordination, and specialized handling procedures. Proper securement helps prevent shifting, damage, and safety issues during transit.
