Colorado Heavy Equipment Transport, We Will Transport It

Types of Heavy Equipment We Transport in Colorado

Moving industrial equipment from one location to another happens smoothly and on time. Among the most requested services are excavator transport, forklift hauling, and backhoe shipping. Additionally, wheel loader transport, bulldozer hauling, crane transport, and dump truck transport are all handled to the same standard. Furthermore, massive superload transportation is available for large loads that require special coordination with state transportation agencies.

Beyond transporting construction equipment, we move generators and haul farm machinery. Manufacturing equipment transport serves factories and industrial facilities that need large machines relocated. Additionally, Colorado agriculture equipment transport handles tractors, combines, and large harvesting tools used across the state every season.

Colorado Heavy Equipment Transport Pricing 

Heavy equipment shipping costs are not the same for every move. The price to move heavy equipment in Colorado depends on fuel prices, trailer requirements, and permit costs, all of which can change throughout the year. Colorado heavy equipment transport costs start at $2.00 to $4.00 per mile, with the exact total depending on the specifics of each move. If you are planning to ship heavy equipment to or from Colorado, reaching out early helps ensure accurate budgeting and secure the right time window for scheduling.

Getting the Right Permits for Heavy Equipment Transport in Colorado

Before any oversized load moves through Colorado, a permit must be obtained. CDOT, the Colorado Department of Transportation, handles all oversize and overweight permits. Three permit types handle most situations: a single-trip permit for a single haul, an annual permit for hauling equipment regularly, and a superload permit for loads that exceed standard dimensions by a wide margin.

A permit is required when a load exceeds any of the following:

  • ross weight over 80,000 pounds
  • Width over 8 feet 6 inches
  • Height over 14 feet 6 inches
  • Length over 65 feet

Pilot cars, also called escort vehicles, are required once a load passes certain size limits. One pilot car is required up front for most wide loads. Extra wide or extra long loads require pilot cars ahead of and behind the truck.

The Axle Weight Limits for Colorado Heavy Hauls

Gross weight is not the only weight limit that matters. Colorado also sets limits on how much weight is on each axle group, and going over those limits without a permit is a separate violation from exceeding the gross weight.

State axle limits are:

  • Single axle: 20,000 pounds
  • Tandem axle: 34,000 pounds
  • Tridem axle: 42,000 pounds

Inspectors at ports of entry check axle weights along with everything else. A load that is within the gross limit but over on a single axle still gets flagged.

Colorado Regulations for Heavy Equipment Transport

There is more to hauling oversize loads in Colorado than getting a permit. Our drivers know the travel window, road closure rules, and speed requirements.

Oversized loads are allowed to move from 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after the sunset. Night travel requires written approval from CDOT, and it is not granted easily. Holiday weekends tighten things up further, and some routes shut down entirely to oversize loads during those periods.

I-70 through the Rocky Mountains closes to oversize loads during snow, ice, or high winds. CDOT regularly posts road condition updates, and our specialists review every update.

Most permitted loads must stay at or below posted speed limits. Loads with extreme dimensions are often held to lower speeds. Very tall equipment sometimes requires arrangements with local utility companies in advance, since some roads have low-hanging power lines or traffic signals that could stop the load from moving.

Major Routes for Heavy Equipment Transport in Colorado

Heavy equipment moves across Colorado on interstates, US highways, and state roads depending on where the load is going and how large it is. These are the main routes used throughout the state.

Interstate Routes

  • I-25 goes north to south along the Front Range through Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Denver, and Fort Collins, between the New Mexico and Wyoming borders
  • I-70 is the main east-west road, going from the Kansas border through Denver and over the Rockies to the Utah border
  • I-76 comes in from Nebraska and meets up with I-25 near Denver
  • I-225 moves equipment through the southeastern Denver metro area

US Highways

  • US-50 crosses the southern mountains through Pueblo, Gunnison, and Montrose to the Utah state line
  • US-40 goes through the northern mountains via Steamboat Springs and Craig toward Utah
  • US-160 runs across southern Colorado from Walsenburg through Durango to the Four Corners area
  • US-285 goes from the Denver area down to Alamosa through South Park and the San Luis Valley
  • US-24 goes through Leadville and the upper Arkansas River corridor
  • US-34 runs through Loveland into the northern mountain areas near Estes Park
  • US-287 covers the eastern plains between Fort Collins and the Oklahoma border
  • US-491 reaches the far southwest corner near Cortez and the Four Corners
  • US-6 runs alongside portions of I-70 through the mountains and gets used when I-70 is restricted to oversize loads

State Highways

  • CO-9 goes between Breckenridge and Fairplay, and is used heavily for mountain construction and mining equipment
  • CO-139 runs through northwest Colorado near Rangely, right in the middle of the Piceance Basin energy area
  • CO-141 goes through the Gateway area in western Colorado

Ports for Colorado Heavy Equipment Hauling

All commercial vehicles and permitted loads must stop at ports of entry when passing through. Driving past one without stopping brings fines, and the load can be held until the issue gets resolved.

Ports of entry in Colorado are located at:

  • Burlington on I-70 at the Kansas border
  • Limon on I-70 on the eastern plains
  • Vail on I-70 through the mountain corridor
  • Fruita on I-70 near the Utah border
  • Wellington on I-25 near the Wyoming border
  • Walsenburg on I-25 in southern Colorado
  • Trinidad on I-25 south of Walsenburg
  • Raton Pass on I-25 at the New Mexico border
  • Julesburg on I-76 at the Nebraska border
  • La Junta on US-50 in southeastern Colorado
  • Lamar on US-50 and US-287
  • Steamboat Springs on US-40
  • Durango on US-160
  • Cortez on US-160 and US-491

Inspectors check permits, load measurements, and driver credentials at every station. All paperwork needs to be within reach before the truck pulls in. Colorado also uses Weigh-in-Motion technology at numerous locations across the state, which reads vehicle weights as trucks pass through without stopping. Any vehicle that triggers the alert threshold is sent to a full inspection lane.
