Ship My Excavator

Excavators are one of the most common machines we move — off auction lots, dealer yards, rental fleets and job sites. The right trailer depends entirely on operating weight and boom configuration.

Recommended trailer

Step deck or RGN / lowboy (by size class)

Typical weight

8,000 – 200,000+ lbs

Dimensions & fit

Mini class fits a step deck; 30-ton and up usually needs an RGN and may be oversize.

Oversize?

Often oversize — permits handled

What affects the cost to ship a excavator

Operating weight and size class (mini, midi, standard, large)

Whether the boom/arm must be removed for legal height

Distance and whether permits/escorts are required for oversize loads

Loaded vs. how quickly it needs to move

Why quote it direct?

Posting a excavator move to an online marketplace auctions it to the lowest bidder and leaves you managing whatever carrier wins. With IronHaul, one specialist prices the move, books a vetted open-deck carrier, and stays on the load until it’s delivered.
