Texas International Freight provides the specialized shipping solutions you need for your crucial blast hole drilling equipment.

Expert Transport Methods for Heavy Drilling Rigs

Transporting oversized and overweight blast hole drills requires specialized equipment and methods. Texas International Freight uses the right tools for your specific shipment. We prioritize safety and compliance throughout the journey.

Flatbed Trailers: For smaller or disassembled drill components, flatbed trailers provide a versatile and efficient option. We secure all parts properly.
Step-Deck Trailers: Step-decks offer a lower deck height. They are ideal for drills with considerable height, allowing them to clear bridges and overhead obstacles.
Removable Gooseneck (RGN) Trailers: RGNs are essential for moving large, self-propelled blast hole drills. You can drive your equipment directly onto the trailer. This reduces loading and unloading risks.
Permitting and Escorts: We manage all necessary permits for oversized and overweight loads. Our team coordinates pilot cars and law enforcement escorts when required. This ensures legal and safe passage.
Route Planning and Survey: Our logistics experts meticulously plan routes. They identify potential challenges such as low bridges, tight turns, or road restrictions. We conduct route surveys to guarantee a smooth journey.
