Construction equipment of every size

We match the trailer to the machine, so a skid steer is not paying for a lowboy and a 40-ton excavator is not squeezed onto the wrong deck.

Trailer Guide

Which trailer does your machine need?

The machine weight and height decide the trailer. Send the make and model and we will match it.

Hot shot / gooseneck

For mini excavators, skid steers and compact track loaders. Fast and cost-effective for smaller machines.

  • Mini excavators
  • Skid steers
  • CTLs

Step deck

For midsize machines within legal height, like backhoes, telehandlers and midsize loaders.

  • Backhoes
  • Telehandlers
  • Loaders

RGN / lowboy

For large excavators and dozers. Drive-on loading with the gooseneck removed, and extra axles for the heaviest machines.

  • Large excavators
  • Dozers
  • Heavy loaders

Machines wider than 8'6", such as many large excavators and dozers, need oversize permits, and the heaviest machines need overweight permits and extra axles. We handle the permits and routing in every state on the route.

Questions, Answered

Excavator & heavy equipment shipping FAQ

How do you ship an excavator?
We match the trailer to the excavator size: hot shot or gooseneck for mini excavators, step deck for some midsize machines, and RGN or lowboy for large excavators. Large machines may need the bucket or counterweight removed and oversize or overweight permits. We confirm the make, model and operating weight before quoting.
Can you pick up equipment from an auction or dealer?
Yes. We pick up from auction yards, dealers, rental yards and jobsites. Send us the lot or stock number, the pickup location and any release paperwork the yard requires.
Do I need permits to ship an excavator or dozer?
If the machine on the trailer is over legal width, height or weight, yes. Many large excavators and dozers are over 8'6" wide. We file the permits in every state on the route.
Can you ship a skid steer or mini excavator cheaply?
Yes. Smaller machines usually move on a hot shot or as part of a shared load, which costs less than a dedicated heavy haul trailer.
Do you ship equipment out of state and nationwide?
Yes. We ship construction equipment across all 48 states, with especially strong coverage from Florida and the Southeast.
How much does it cost to ship an excavator?
Cost depends on the machine size and weight, the trailer, distance, permits and loading at each end. Call (800) 209-1143 or use the quote form for a same-day rate.
