Planning Oversize Equipment Transport From Nevada to Utah
Our team specializes in handling complex heavy machinery shipments with precision. We understand that every load is unique, requiring customized solutions to ensure safe and efficient delivery. From excavators to cranes, we’ve got you covered.
From Excavators to Cranes: What We Transport
We handle a wide range of heavy equipment, including bulldozers, motor scrapers, and drilling rigs. Our expertise extends to sensitive components like crane booms, which require specialized handling. With over 150 successful excavator transports in 2023, we’ve proven our capability to manage even the most challenging loads.
Our dimensional analysis process ensures optimal load configuration. This includes assessing weight, size, and clearance requirements. For irregular loads, we use a 4-point securement system to guarantee stability during transit.
| Equipment Type | Classification | Special Handling |
|---|---|---|
| Excavators | Class 7 | Hydraulic trailer configurations |
| Bulldozers | Class 8 | Climate-controlled options |
| Motor Scrapers | Class 7 | 4-point securement system |

We also offer climate-controlled options for electronic components, ensuring they remain protected during transit. Our fleet is equipped to handle super loads up to 250 tons, making us a reliable partner for large-scale construction projects.
Whether it’s a forklift or a tower crane, we’ve transported over 25 types of equipment with precision. Our hydraulic trailer configurations are ideal for low-clearance machinery, ensuring safe passage through challenging routes.
With ITAR compliance, we’re authorized to transport military equipment, adding another layer of trust to our services. Let us handle your heavy haul needs with the expertise and care you deserve.
Specialized Trailers for Every Load
We’ve built our reputation on delivering the right trailer for every unique hauling challenge. Our fleet includes a variety of configurations designed to handle different types of machinery and loads. Whether you’re moving a bulldozer or a transformer, we have the perfect solution.
Tri-Axle Step Deck Trailers for Heavy Machines
Tri-axle step deck trailers are ideal for heavy machines like bulldozers and wheel loaders. With a capacity of up to 60,000 lbs, they provide the stability needed for large equipment. Their stepped design allows for easier loading and unloading, making them a popular choice for construction sites.
RGN and Lowboy Trailers for Oversized Equipment
RGN trailers, with their 110′ length capacity, are perfect for oversized loads. They offer permitting advantages for over-dimensional equipment, ensuring compliance with state regulations. Lowboy trailers, on the other hand, are great for heavy machinery that requires a low center of gravity for safe transport.
Flatbed and Landoll Trailers for Versatile Hauling
Flatbed trailers are versatile and can handle a wide range of equipment, from smaller machinery to pipeline components. Landoll trailers feature hydraulic ramps with a 30° approach angle, making them ideal for easy loading and unloading. Their tilt decks are particularly useful for tight urban deliveries.
Our trailer matching algorithm ensures the optimal pairing of equipment and trailer type. Whether it’s a 12’6″ height clearance or winterization packages for mountain passes, we’ve got you covered. For more details on heavy equipment shipping in Nevada, visit our website.
Key Routes for Nevada-to-Utah Transport
Efficient routes are the backbone of successful haul trucking operations. We specialize in navigating the most critical highways, ensuring your equipment arrives on time and in perfect condition. Our team understands the unique challenges of each corridor, from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City.
Navigating I-15 and I-80 Corridors
The I-15 corridor, stretching from St. George to Salt Lake City, is a primary route for delivery. However, it comes with restrictions, such as limited travel times through the Virgin River Gorge. The I-80 corridor, from Wendover to Salt Lake, is another vital path, though seasonal restrictions on Parley’s Canyon require careful planning.
We use advanced GPS tracking and real-time traffic monitoring to optimize these routes. Our partnerships with state DOTs ensure compliance and efficiency, even during peak travel periods.
State-Specific Highway Regulations
Each state has unique regulations that impact transport. For example, Utah enforces an 8’6″ width limit, while Nevada allows up to 10′. These differences require precise planning to avoid delays.
For loads exceeding 14′ in width, escort vehicles are mandatory. We also conduct bridge analysis for overweight configurations, ensuring safe passage. Below is a breakdown of critical weigh stations along these highways:
| Location | Highway | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| St. George | I-15 | 24/7 operation |
| Wendover | I-80 | Seasonal closures |
| Las Vegas | I-15 | High traffic area |
| Salt Lake City | I-80 | Strict enforcement |
Our team also maintains a database of 57 approved alternate routes, including NV 318, for oversize loads. This flexibility ensures your shipment stays on schedule, regardless of road conditions or restrictions.
Permits and Legal Requirements
Navigating the legal landscape of heavy hauling requires precision and expertise. We specialize in securing the necessary permits and ensuring compliance with all state regulations. Our team makes sure every shipment meets legal standards, so you can focus on your project.
Securing Oversize Load Permits
Obtaining permits for oversize loads is a critical step. We follow a streamlined 6-step process:
- Submit a detailed application with the required documentation, including a Bill of Lading and weight certificates.
- Verify axle spacing for configurations up to 80,000 lbs to ensure compliance.
- Process Nevada single-trip permits within 2-3 days or opt for Utah annual permits for frequent shipments.
- Set up escrow accounts for clients with regular shipping needs.
- Use our advanced permit tracking system, which sends 48-hour renewal alerts.
- Handle emergency permits for disaster response scenarios efficiently.
Our 98% first-submission approval rate ensures minimal delays.
Weight and Dimension Compliance
Compliance with weight and dimension regulations is non-negotiable. We adhere to strict standards, including:
- Nevada and Utah bond requirements, starting at $10K minimum.
- Legal width variances, especially for agricultural equipment.
- 2024 fee schedules, ranging from $85 to $300 per state.
Our team conducts thorough dimensional analysis to avoid issues during transit. Whether it’s a nevada heavy load or a sensitive shipment, we ensure every detail is covered.
Weather and Terrain Challenges
Weather and terrain can make or break a successful hauling operation. In heavy haul trucking, extreme conditions like desert heat and mountain passes demand careful planning and expertise. We ensure every shipment is handled with precision, no matter the challenges.
Managing Desert Heat and Mountain Passes
Desert heat, like the 115°F temperatures in the Mojave, poses unique risks. We monitor tire pressure closely to handle extreme temperature swings. Engine cooling protocols are essential for navigating steep 7% mountain grades, ensuring our trucks perform reliably.
For added safety, we equip our vehicles with 10-lb fire extinguishers and spill kits. Dust storms, with visibility under 1/4 mile, require specialized protocols. Our 24/7 meteorologist consultation service helps us stay ahead of sudden weather changes.
Seasonal Considerations for Safe Transport
Seasonal changes bring their own challenges. Winter convoy procedures are critical for routes like Donner Pass, where I-80 closures average 12 days a year. Heated fuel lines prevent issues in -20°F conditions, ensuring uninterrupted transportation.
We also plan 72-hour weather windows for sensitive loads, minimizing risks. Load shift prevention measures are in place for washboard roads, and our emergency response teams are stationed along key routes for quick assistance.
By addressing these challenges head-on, we maintain the quality and reliability our clients expect. Whether it’s desert heat or mountain snow, we’ve got the expertise to keep your shipment safe and on schedule.
Loading and Securing Your Equipment
Proper loading and securing of heavy machinery is a cornerstone of safe and efficient hauling. We take every step to ensure your equipment arrives in perfect condition, using advanced techniques and certified processes.
Professional Loading Techniques
Our team follows a rigorous 14-step load inspection process to guarantee safety and precision. This includes 3D modeling for center of gravity calculations, ensuring optimal balance for every load. We use only approved tie-down materials, such as Grade 70 chains and 6″ straps, to secure your machinery.
For delicate components, we fabricate custom cradles to prevent damage during transport. Our vibration monitoring system tracks the first 50 miles to detect any potential issues early. Laser alignment checks are performed for multi-axle configurations, ensuring stability throughout the journey.
Ensuring Stability During Transit
Stability is critical for safe transport. We maintain a minimum of 400 lbs of tension per securement point, adhering to industry standards. Our load shift compensation procedures adjust for unexpected movements, keeping your equipment secure.
We also offer a certified loadmaster apprenticeship program, training our team to handle even the most complex machinery. Prohibited materials, like untreated wood blocks, are never used in our processes.
