Planning a Heavy Equipment Move From Michigan to Wisconsin: Key Steps
Ensuring a smooth transition for oversized loads involves careful preparation. Each step, from measuring your machinery to selecting the right transport solution, plays a critical role in successful delivery. We guide you through the process to eliminate guesswork and ensure compliance.
Assessing Your Equipment’s Dimensions and Weight
Accurate measurements are the foundation of any successful shipment. Record the length, width, and height of your machinery. Don’t forget to include axle weight, as this impacts trailer selection and route planning.
For example, a 26ft post hole driller required an 8-axle configuration to meet safety standards. Always double-check your numbers to avoid delays or penalties.
Securing Oversize Load Permits for Cross-State Transport
Obtaining the necessary permits is essential for legal and safe transport. The Michigan-Wisconsin corridor typically requires 3-5 business days for approval. We handle all paperwork, ensuring compliance with state-specific regulations.
Be aware of Michigan’s seasonal road restrictions, such as frost laws, which can impact timing. Our team stays updated on these changes to keep your shipment on track.
Choosing the Right Trailer for Safe Shipping
Selecting the appropriate trailer depends on your machinery’s size and type. Stepdeck trailers are ideal for loads requiring extra height clearance, like 10.4ft combines. For larger loads, such as 54,000-lb concrete pumps, superload trailers are the best option.
RGN trailers work well for loads exceeding 35ft in length. We match your needs with the right solution to ensure safe and efficient transport.
