Construction Equipment Shipping
Excavators, dozers, loaders and graders — moved on the right trailer, every time.
Construction fleets move constantly — between job sites, off auction lots, from dealer yards and out of rental fleets. IronHaul keeps that iron rolling with the right trailer for every machine, from a compact skid steer on a hotshot to a 100,000-lb excavator on a multi-axle RGN.
Whether you are a general contractor relocating a fleet, a dealer delivering a sale, or an owner-operator who just won a machine at auction, construction equipment shipping comes down to matching weight and height to the correct trailer, handling permits when a load goes oversize, and hitting the pickup window. That is our lane.
What makes construction moves different
Size class drives the trailer
A mini excavator ships legal on a step deck, but a 30-ton-plus machine usually needs an RGN and often goes oversize. We spec the trailer to the machine, not the other way around.
Job-site and yard access
Tight sites, soft ground and narrow gates are routine on construction moves. Our drivers know how to load and unload where the machine actually sits.
Tight timelines
A machine sitting idle costs money. We quote fast and commit to pickup windows so your project keeps moving.

Trailers & services for this work
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.
Learn moreStep 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.
Learn moreRGN / 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.
Learn moreOversize & 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.

Frequently asked questions
What trailer do I need for construction equipment?
It depends on weight and height. Compact machines ship on flatbeds or step decks; heavy or tall machines like large excavators and dozers need an RGN or lowboy. Send us the make/model and we will spec it.
Can you pick up from a job site?
Yes. We move equipment between job sites, from dealer lots, rental yards and auction facilities nationwide. Just give us the address and access details.
Do you handle oversize construction loads?
Absolutely — we handle state-by-state permits, pilot cars and route planning for oversize and superload construction moves.
