We Will Transport It: Michigan’s #1 Heavy Machinery Transport
Trying to move heavy machinery without the right setup or knowledge is a recipe for disaster, that can result in delays, fines, and damage. A standard truck can’t handle oversize loads and can’t just hit the road. For a road-compliant and legal delivery, you’ll need permits, route surveys, and drivers who know every bridge height on I-75. We make the shipment process easier for you by managing all the logistics, securing every strap, and delivering your equipment safely and on schedule.
Michigan Heavy Equipment Hauling Expertise
Michigan relies on heavy machinery as the state is built on manufacturing, agriculture, energy, and the Great Lakes industry and Michigan trusts us to keep their equipment moving. We’re experts in heavy equipment shipping who know every frost law, width restriction, and seasonal route change.

- MDOT oversize permits and pilot car coordination

Cost for Michigan Heavy Equipment Transport
The cost of heavy equipment transport in Michigan isn’t the same for every haul. Each move comes down to distance, route conditions, trailer type, and the size of the machinery. Most hauls across the state run between $2.50 and $5.00 per mile, while long-distance jobs leaving Michigan can cost more once permits and escort fees are added. A smaller bulldozer from Grand Rapids to Lansing might come in around a few hundred dollars, but shipping a crane or excavator from Detroit to Denver can easily reach several thousand.
When you book through We Will Transport It, you’re getting a Michigan heavy haul trucking company that plans every move from pickup to delivery. Our dispatchers find the most direct routes, arrange proper loading equipment, and stay in contact the entire way.

Best Oversize Equipment Shipping Michigan
Do you need an oversize permit for every load in Michigan?
Yes, Michigan Department of Transportation requires permits for any heavy machinery over 8.5 ft wide, 13.5 ft high, 80,000 lbs, or 70 ft long. At We Will Transport It, we handle the paperwork, securing any needed single-trip, annual, or multi-state permits so you don’t have to worry about compliance. We make sure your load meets all state regulations before it hits the road.
What is the biggest load you’ve moved through Detroit?
Our largest haul was a 180-ton stamping press moving from Warren, MI, to Toledo, OH, via I-75. This required four pilot cars, night-time transport, and bridge approvals from MDOT. Large or complicated shipments are our specialty, and we carefully plan every detail for safety and efficiency. Your machine isn’t too heavy as we’re experienced in moving oversized machinery.
Can you pick up a non-running excavator from a job site with no dock?
Absolutely. We transport non-operational equipment using a Landoll or lowboy trailer with winches, meaning you don’t need a crane or forklift on your end. Uneven or tight job sites are manageable but it’s best for the site to have enough space for our trailers and drivers to safely maneuver.
How fast can you get a dozer from Grand Rapids to Chicago?
We can arrange same-day permits and next-day delivery for this route, your equipment gets there quickly, safely, and on schedule.
Do you haul wind turbine blades across the Mackinac Bridge?
Yes, but this machinery requires a special MDOT superload permit. We handle the logistics to ensure your turbine blades clear the bridge safely.
What if my crane boom makes the load 95 ft long?
No problem. We can transport oversized cranes on extendable flatbeds or RGNs, and if your route crosses state lines, we secure the necessary permits for a smooth, legal transit.
Do I have to pay an upfront payment to book a heavy machinery haul?
Never. You can schedule your haul today and pay only after safe delivery. Our goal is to make transport simple, predictable, and risk-free.
How much does transporting heavy equipment cost?
Never. You can schedule your haul today and pay only after safe delivery. Our goal is to make transport simple, predictable, and risk-free.
How much does transporting heavy equipment cost?
Michigan heavy equipment hauling typically costs between $1.75 – $5.00 per mile, and your per mile rates will decrease if you’re scheduling cross-country transportation.
How do you transport heavy equipment?
If your machinery has wheels, we can send a tow vehicle to hitch it up for transport to the job site. Larger and oversized machinery must typically be shipped on a standard or specialty flatbed trailer. Tell your WWTI transport experts the make and model of your machinery, and we’ll help determine the correct type of trailer and schedule service with a highly-rated MI heavy equipment transporter.,
