Cranes Require More Than Just a Truck
Complex Coordination
Cranes rarely move in “one piece” — you’re often shipping multiple loads (boom sections, house, counterweights, tracks). Loads need to arrive in the right order so crews can reassemble efficiently. A single late delivery can stall an entire project.
OS/OD Permits and Compliance
Cranes and parts like booms, counterweights, or tracks often exceed legal dimensions or weight. Delays happen if permits, escorts, or route surveys aren’t secured in advance. DOT fines or re-routes = costly downtime.
Specialized Equipment
Not every carrier has the right trailers (RGNs, extendables, multi-axles) or knows how to secure crane parts properly. Wrong equipment or poor securement = damage, delays, or claims.
High Downtime Cost
A crane sitting idle = thousands of dollars lost per day. Shippers need reliable partners who understand urgency, track shipments, and keep communication tight.
