Factors Affecting Equipment Transport Costs

The cost of heavy hauling can vary based on several key factors. Weight is the primary determinant - heavier loads like large dozers and excavators will cost more to haul than smaller skid steers or compactors. Distance traveled is also a major factor, with longer hauls adding more costs for driver time and fuel.


Dimensions matter too - oversized and overweight loads requiring special permits can significantly increase equipment hauling expenses. The complexity of loading and securing the machinery onto the trailer is another cost consideration. Larger, awkwardly shaped equipment may require more labor and specialized rigging.


Emergency or time-sensitive hauls also tend to cost more, as do any hauls involving challenging terrain, site obstructions, or poor access points. CHC's equipment transport experts will provide an upfront pricing estimate factoring all the variables for your specific load and haul.

Hauling Oversize & Overweight Loads

Many large excavators, bulldozers, and other heavy machinery are classified as oversized and overweight loads exceeding standard hauling limits. These types of loads require specialized step-deck trailers, rigging techniques, permitting, and potential escorts to legally transport.
