Equipment We Ship in Des Moines
These are some of the most common machines we transport in the Des Moines area — but if it fits on a trailer, we can move it.
Our Services in Des Moines, Iowa
Flatbed Freight
Open flatbed trailers for machinery, building materials and anything that loads from the side, top or rear. The workhorse of open-deck freight.
Step Deck Freight
Step deck trailers add height clearance for taller machines that would be over-height on a flatbed — a go-to for mid-size equipment.
RGN / Lowboy Freight
Removable-gooseneck and lowboy trailers for the heaviest, tallest machines — dozers, cranes, graders and other oversize loads that drive on at ground level.
Power Only
You have the trailer — we bring the truck and driver. Power-only and pintle-hitch moves for shippers who own or lease their own equipment.
Oversize & Heavy Haul
When the machine is too wide, tall or heavy for a standard load, we handle the permits, escorts and route engineering that keep it legal and moving.
Partial Load Shipping
One machine that does not fill a trailer? We combine partial equipment loads to cut your cost without waiting to fill a full truck yourself.
