Precision Transport Methods for Oversized Loads
Selecting the correct trailer and planning the route are vital for safe and efficient heavy haul.
Texas International Freight evaluates your specific coil tubing unit and determines the ideal transport strategy.
Choosing the Right Trailer
We use a diverse fleet of specialized trailers to accommodate the unique characteristics of your equipment.
- Flatbed Trailers: Suitable for transporting lighter, less dimensionally challenging components and ancillary equipment.
- Step-Deck Trailers: Offering a lower deck height, step-decks accommodate taller loads that require additional overhead clearance while remaining within legal height limits.
- Removable Gooseneck (RGN) Trailers: The preferred choice for the heaviest, tallest, and longest coil tubing units, RGN trailers allow drive-on/drive-off loading, making them ideal for self-propelled or wheeled equipment.
Beyond trailer selection, our team meticulously plans every detail.
We manage all permitting requirements for oversized and overweight loads, arranging necessary escort services when mandates demand them.
Our experts conduct thorough route planning, identifying the safest and most efficient pathways, avoiding obstacles, and minimizing transit times.

What information do you need to quote my coil tubing unit shipment?
To provide an accurate quote, we require detailed information about your coil tubing unit. Please provide the exact dimensions (length, width, height) and weight of the unit, along with any detachable components. We also need the precise origin and destination addresses, including any specific access requirements for pickup and delivery sites. Inform us of any special handling instructions or unusual characteristics of the equipment.
Do you handle permits and escorts for oversized loads?
Yes, Texas International Freight provides a complete service that includes managing all necessary permits and escort services. Oversized and overweight loads require specific permits from each state or province they cross. We manage this complex process for you, ensuring compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations. When regulations mandate escort vehicles for safety, we arrange those as well.
Can you ship coil tubing units to remote job sites?
Absolutely. Shipping to remote job sites is a core competency of Texas International Freight. Many coil tubing operations occur in challenging, off-road locations. Our team specializes in planning logistics for these difficult-to-access areas, coordinating with local resources and ensuring your equipment reaches even the most isolated destinations.
How do you ensure the safety of my equipment during transit?
Ensuring the safety of your coil tubing unit is our highest priority. We achieve this through several measures. Our process begins with selecting the correct trailer and ensuring proper loading techniques, including securement with specialized chains and binders. We only partner with experienced heavy haul carriers and drivers who possess a proven safety record. Furthermore, our meticulous route planning avoids hazardous roads and ensures compliance with all safety regulations.
What is the typical transit time for a coil tubing unit shipment?
The transit time for a coil tubing unit shipment varies based on several factors. Distance between origin and destination, the complexity of permitting, potential weather delays, and specific route restrictions all influence the timeline. While we work to provide the most efficient transit possible, oversized loads often move slower than standard freight due to regulations and safety protocols. We provide estimated transit times with your quote and keep you informed throughout the journey. When your projects demand reliable and expert heavy haul for coil tubing units, turn to Texas International Freight. We deliver your equipment where you need it, when you need it, safely and efficiently.
