Why Delaware Heavy Equipment Shipping Requires Specialists
Types of Heavy Equipment We Transport in Delaware
Delaware heavy equipment transportation handles different types of machinery for people. On construction sites, excavator transport and backhoe shipping are often requested. Wheel loader transport, bulldozer hauling, and dump truck transport are also handled regularly, along with crane transport for larger and more complex moves.
For power needs on job sites, generators are another common piece of equipment moved. Agricultural equipment transport for tractors and large combines, especially during planting and harvest seasons. Manufacturing equipment transport is available for industrial facilities that need to relocate large and heavy machines from one building or city to another. Forklift hauling for warehouses and distribution centers throughout the state.
For buyers and sellers at auctions, equipment pickup and delivery provides a simple way to get purchased machinery to its destination without added stress. Port shipping is another option for equipment arriving from overseas or departing for international destinations.
The Delaware Heavy Equipment Transport Costs
The distance of the heavy haul is important, but so is the size and weight of the machinery being moved. Trailer selection, fuel at the time of booking, and the number of state permits required along the route all factor into the final price. Regional specialized rates start at $2.50 to $5.00 per mile as a general starting point, though each move is priced based on its specific details.
Cross-country hauls have a lower per-mile rate than short moves. State permits increase quickly on multi-state routes, since each state along the way has its own fees for oversized loads. Expedited moves are an option when time is tight, though a faster turnaround comes at a higher rate.
What Permits Are Needed for Heavy Equipment Transport in Delaware
Hauling heavy equipment through Delaware starts with getting the right permit from DelDOT. Any load that exceeds Delaware’s size or weight limits requires one.
Delaware offers three types of permits. A single-trip permits handles just one heavy haul. Multi-trip permits are good for the entire month and work well for moving repeated oversized loads. Superload permits are for the largest moves and sometimes require weeks of planning, including bridge checks and engineering reviews along the planned route.
Permits can be picked up online through DelDOT’s portal, at a local county office, or through a state-approved permit service. A copy must stay in the truck the whole time and be shown to law enforcement when asked.

Safe Trailers for Heavy Equipment Hauling
One of the major parts of heavy equipment hauling is choosing the right trailer. Different machines require different setups, and using the wrong trailer can cause damage. For instance, a lowboy trailer works well for tall equipment like excavators because it is close to the ground. An RGN trailer, which stands for removable gooseneck, makes loading more simple for heavy equipment that cannot be lifted onto a deck. A flatbed trailer handles many standard-sized loads, while a double-drop trailer adds extra clearance for taller loads. Additionally, a landoll trailer is a great option for operable equipment for its hydraulic tilt feature.
Beyond trailer selection, load securement is a critical step that is ensured. Heavy-duty tie-downs keep machinery from moving during transport, which protects the machine and other drivers on the road.
The Delaware Heavy Equipment Transport Regulations
- Width over 8 feet 6 inches
- Height over 13 feet 6 inches
- Length more than 53 feet for semi-trailers on interstates
- Weight exceeding the required axle and gross vehicle limits
Driving hours are limited to sunrise through sunset. Holiday travel stops at noon the day before and cannot pick back up until after 9 a.m. the morning after. New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are off limits.
Equipment that can be taken apart must be taken apart. Blades, buckets, and counterweights must be removed if they exceed legal limits. Wide loads need oversize signs on the front and back, flags at the outer edges, and pilot cars or police escorts, depending on how large the load is.
GPS Tracking with Insurance Coverage for Heavy Hauling
Once a load is on the road, people can follow its progress through real-time updates through our GPS tracking. Knowing where the equipment is at any given moment provides peace of mind, especially for high-value machinery being moved over long distances. Moreover, all shipments meet full DOT compliance standards.
We Will Transport It provides cargo insurance and liability coverage for every shipment. As a result, the equipment is protected if anything goes wrong during transport. Door-to-door delivery is also available, bringing the equipment directly to the required location.
