Understanding the Equipment

Each type of heavy equipment requires a tailored approach.

Proper planning starts with knowing the machine’s weight, size, and handling needs.

Heavy machinery logistics involves multiple cargo types:

• Construction: bulldozers, excavators, cranes
• Oil & Gas: drilling rigs, turbines, pumps
• Industrial: compressors, generators, skids

Evaluating each machine’s fragility and securement requirements helps determine the safest transport method and packaging for long-distance hauling.

Planning to Haul Machinery

Effective planning is the foundation of every successful heavy haul. From packing and crating to permits and escort coordination, every step must align with Texas oversize regulations.

Texas International Freight ensures full compliance and route efficiency through our project logistics expertise.

• Obtain oversize and overweight permits from TxDOT
• Determine optimal routes and escort needs
• Coordinate pickup and delivery times with site managers
• Maintain consistent communication with all parties

Preparing Equipment for Transport

Preparation protects your investment. Before loading, each unit undergoes inspection, servicing, and documentation.

Proper crating and skidding secure parts and prevent shifting during transit.

• Inspect and record condition before loading
• Drain fluids and disconnect power systems
• Remove detachable parts and accessories
• Use braces, padding, and blocking for stability

All procedures follow heavy haul safety standards to ensure compliance and road safety.

Loading and Transportation

Trailer selection depends on the size and weight of the cargo.

Choosing the right equipment minimizes risk and improves handling efficiency.

We offer a range of transport options supported by rigging crews and GPS tracking.

• Flatbed trucks for standard heavy machinery
