What Is Equipment Transport?
Equipment transport is moving machines that cannot drive on the street. We load them onto a flatbed, chain them at their tie-down points and deliver them to a job site, yard, dealer or repair shop.
We move compact equipment in the light and medium duty range. That covers many small skid steers, compact tractors, zero-turn mowers, generators, light towers, small scissor lifts and similar gear. Large excavators, dozers and cranes need a heavy haul company. Tell us the machine's weight and size and we will confirm.
Signs You Need Equipment Transport
- A machine broke down and needs to go to a shop
- You rented or bought equipment and need it delivered
- You are moving gear between job sites
- You do not own a trailer big enough for the load
- The machine cannot be driven up a trailer ramp
- You sold equipment and the buyer needs it moved
Equipment Transport Options
We haul equipment on Flatbed Towing trucks. Warehouse forklifts are covered on Forklift Towing. Tool chests go through Toolbox Transport. Storage boxes go through Container Transport. For trips to another city, see Long Distance Towing. If a machine is stuck in mud, we may need a Winch Out first.
Equipment Moves Around North Texas
Building never stops here. New homes, roads and warehouses are going up across Collin County near our Princeton location and along I-635 and I-20 near Garland and Mesquite. Builders, landscapers and rental yards move small machines between sites every week.
Rain turns building lots into mud. Many of our calls start with a machine stuck on a soft site after a storm. We can winch it to firm ground, load it and take it where it needs to go.
What to Expect When We Arrive
- Tell dispatch the machine type, make, model, weight and size.
- We confirm the right truck and quote the move.
- The driver checks the loading area at the site.
- A trained operator drives the machine up, or we winch it if it does not run.
- We chain it at the tie-down points and lower any arms or buckets.
- We deliver it and unload where you need it.
How to Get Ready
- Have an operator on site if the machine runs.
- Lower buckets, forks and booms fully.
- Remove loose attachments or tell us so we can secure them.
- Clear a flat area for the flatbed to back in and tilt.
- Have someone at drop-off to show us where it goes.
Equipment Transport Cost
The cost depends on weight, size, distance and site conditions at each end. Muddy or tight sites take longer. Call dispatch for a quote. We can set up repeat moves for builders and rental companies.
