Cambridge Lowboy Transport Capabilities

Complete Equipment Moving Solutions

Our equipment moving services cover the full range of construction and industrial machinery common in Cambridge area projects. This includes excavators, bulldozers, cranes, forklifts, scissor lifts, and other heavy equipment that requires specialized transport.

We maintain multiple trailer types including standard lowboys, RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers, and Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt capabilities. This flexibility means we can handle equipment of different heights, weights, and loading requirements without compromising safety or efficiency.

Cambridge’s mix of residential development and commercial projects creates unique transport challenges – from navigating tight residential streets for home construction equipment to coordinating with traffic patterns for larger commercial moves. Our local experience helps us anticipate and solve these challenges before they become delays.

What types of equipment can you transport with lowboy trailers?

Our lowboy trailer services handle virtually all construction and industrial equipment including excavators, bulldozers, cranes, forklifts, scissor lifts, generators, and compactors. We can transport equipment up to legal weight limits and have specialized trailers for different height and loading requirements.

The key is matching the right trailer to your specific equipment. Standard lowboys work well for most construction machinery, while RGN trailers are ideal for taller equipment that needs ground-level loading. Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt make loading easier for equipment that can drive on and off.

We evaluate each job individually to ensure we’re using the most appropriate and cost-effective transport method for your specific equipment and circumstances.

Equipment safety starts with proper assessment and planning before we ever load anything. We inspect each piece of equipment to identify the best securing points and determine any special handling requirements based on weight distribution, center of gravity, and fragile components.

During loading, we use professional-grade chains, straps, and blocking materials specifically designed for heavy equipment transport. Our operators are trained in proper rigging techniques and follow strict protocols to ensure your equipment is secured according to DOT regulations and industry best practices.

Throughout transport, we maintain appropriate speeds, avoid sudden stops or turns, and regularly check securement points during longer hauls. Every transport includes comprehensive insurance coverage so your equipment is protected financially as well as physically.

Yes, we handle all necessary permits and route planning as part of our equipment moving services. This includes oversize permits when equipment exceeds standard legal dimensions, as well as coordinating with local authorities when routes require special considerations.

Our route planning process considers bridge weight limits, overhead clearances, road width restrictions, and local traffic patterns. We also coordinate timing to avoid peak traffic hours and work around any road construction or special events that might affect transport.

For complex moves involving multiple jurisdictions or unusual routing requirements, we work directly with state and local authorities to ensure full compliance. This takes the regulatory burden off your shoulders so you can focus on your project while we handle the logistics.

For standard equipment moves within the Cambridge area, we can typically schedule transport within 24-48 hours of your request, depending on equipment type and current demand. Emergency moves for critical project needs often get priority scheduling when possible.

Oversize loads or complex moves requiring special permits may need additional lead time – usually 3-5 business days to secure proper permits and coordinate route approvals. We always provide realistic timelines upfront so you can plan accordingly.

The key is calling us as soon as you know you’ll need transport services. Even if your timeline is flexible, early communication helps us provide better scheduling options and potentially better pricing for non-rush situations.

Equipment moving costs depend on several factors including equipment size and weight, distance traveled, trailer type required, and any special handling or permit requirements. We provide detailed quotes that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Our pricing includes transport, basic insurance coverage, standard permits, and professional loading/unloading services. Additional costs might apply for special permits, escort vehicles, or unusual timing requirements, but we discuss all potential costs upfront.

We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees. You’ll receive a detailed written quote that clearly outlines all services and costs before we begin any work. This helps you budget accurately and avoid surprise charges.

Limited access situations are common in Cambridge, especially for residential projects or sites with tight space constraints. We regularly navigate narrow driveways, steep grades, soft ground conditions, and overhead obstacles that make equipment delivery challenging.

Our approach involves site visits when necessary to assess access conditions and plan the safest delivery method. Sometimes this means using smaller trailers, coordinating with utility companies to temporarily raise lines, or arranging for equipment to be offloaded at accessible locations and moved to final positions with other equipment.

We work closely with project managers and site supervisors to understand access limitations upfront and develop solutions that get your equipment where it needs to be safely and efficiently. Our local experience with Cambridge area job sites helps us anticipate and solve access challenges before they become problems.
