From California, your equipment will go through Nevada, then Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, and then Illinois. The duration of the trip will take roughly three days.

FAQs
How do you transport a backhoe from California to Illinois?
A backhoe can be transported using a flatbed, lowboy, step-deck, or RGN trailer, depending on its size and weight.
- Make sure you know the weight and height of the backhoe
- Ensure that the trailer and truck are the right size
- Make sure the trailer’s parking brake is working
- The trailer’s front and rear wheels should be blocked
- Remove any ice, snow, or grease from the trailer
- Stabilize the trailer by driving the backhoe onto its center
- For stability, lower all attachments
- Put ratchet straps or chains on the backhoe to secure it
For smaller backhoes, flatbed trailers are ideal, especially if they need to be functional. Their capacity is up to 48,000 pounds, and their cost is less than that of other trailers. Due to their lower height, lowboy trailers allow for greater height clearance. The step-deck and RGN trailers allow you to drive your backhoe loader onto the trailer.
