FAQ
What is equipment hauling and what types of equipment can you transport?
Equipment hauling refers to the professional transportation of heavy, oversized, or specialized machinery and equipment. This includes construction equipment (bulldozers, excavators, skid steers), agricultural machinery (tractors, harvesters), industrial machinery, and even oversized loads such as generators or tanks. McDonald Excavation is equipped to handle a wide range of machinery with the proper permits, trailers, and experienced drivers to ensure safe and compliant delivery.
Do you offer heavy equipment hauling for long-distance or out-of-state transport?
Yes, we provide both local and long-distance heavy equipment hauling, including interstate transportation across the United States. We comply with all DOT regulations and state-specific requirements, including permits for oversize or overweight loads. Our logistics team ensures route planning, escort vehicles if needed, and timely updates for safe and efficient transport.
How do I get a quote for equipment hauling services?
To get a free, no-obligation quote, simply fill out our online form or call us directly. We’ll ask for basic information such as the type of equipment, dimensions, weight, pickup and delivery locations, and your preferred schedule. Based on these details, we’ll provide a customized estimate that includes all applicable fees, permits, and insurance.
What safety measures do you take when hauling heavy equipment?
Safety is our top priority. We use specialized trailers (like lowboys, flatbeds, and step decks) and properly secure all equipment with chains, binders, and straps. Our drivers are trained and certified in handling oversized and overweight loads. We also conduct pre-trip inspections, ensure weight distribution is compliant with DOT regulations, and provide GPS tracking for real-time monitoring.
Is your equipment hauling service insured and licensed?
Absolutely. We are fully licensed and insured for all types of equipment hauling. This includes liability insurance, cargo insurance, and all required DOT certifications. In the rare event of damage or delays, our insurance provides protection and peace of mind for our clients.
How far in advance should I schedule my hauling service?
We recommend scheduling at least 3–5 business days in advance, especially for long-distance or oversize load transport. This gives us time to obtain necessary permits, plan the route, and arrange any special equipment or escort vehicles. For urgent or last-minute needs, we do our best to accommodate on short notice.
Can you transport non-running or damaged equipment?
Yes, we can haul non-operational or damaged equipment. Our team uses winches, cranes, or rollback trailers to safely load and unload non-running machines. Just let us know the condition of your equipment in advance so we can bring the appropriate gear.
What areas do you serve for equipment hauling?
We offer equipment hauling services across the United States, with regional hubs in major cities. Whether you’re moving machinery across town or across the country, we have the network and resources to handle your haul efficiently. Local, regional, and national transport options are available.
What’s the difference between flatbed, step deck, and lowboy trailers?
Each trailer type is suited for different equipment sizes and weights:
- Flatbed trailers are ideal for standard-sized equipment and offer quick loading/unloading.
- Step deck trailers (also known as drop decks) are used for taller equipment that exceeds flatbed height limits.
- Lowboy trailers sit very low to the ground, making them perfect for extremely tall or heavy equipment. They’re often used for bulldozers, cranes, or industrial loads.
How do I prepare my equipment for transport?
Proper preparation helps ensure safe and efficient hauling:
- Clean the equipment to allow inspection.
- Remove or secure loose parts and accessories.
- Drain fluids if required by transport regulations.
- Disconnect batteries and secure any moving components.
- Provide loading/unloading instructions or operator manuals if needed.
Our team can assist with preparation guidelines specific to your equipment type.
