Heavy equipment won't fit on regular freight trailers?

Your excavator, crane, or manufacturing equipment is too wide, tall, or heavy for standard freight carriers. Regular trucking companies turn down oversized loads because they lack the specialized trailers and permits required for heavy haul shipments across Pennsylvania's highways.

Heavy equipment freight requires specialized lowboy trailers, multi-axle configurations, and often escort vehicles for safe transport. Standard carriers don't have the equipment or experience to handle loads over 80,000 pounds or dimensions exceeding highway limits. Pennsylvania's bridges, weight restrictions, and route limitations make proper planning essential.

Heavy haul shipping typically costs 2-5 times more than regular freight, depending on weight, dimensions, and distance. Oversized permits can add $200-800 per load, and escort requirements increase costs further. Complex routes through Pennsylvania's mountainous regions or urban areas like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh require additional planning time.

Contact carriers who specialize in heavy haul freight and handle all permitting requirements. Gateway Logistics matches your equipment with experienced heavy haul carriers who have the right trailers and credentials. They'll survey your route, obtain necessary permits, and coordinate escorts if required.

Once properly arranged, your heavy equipment arrives safely at its destination without delays or damage. The specialized carrier handles all logistics, permits, and route planning, so you can focus on your project timeline rather than transportation headaches.
