There are a plethora of shipping companies with 18-wheel tractor trailers in stock to help you transport equipment. Not only can they transport heavy items, they have staff members who can move the equipment to and from a home or place of business. Be sure to make all necessary arrangements and pay all fees to ensure pick-up and delivery are done properly.
Most airline companies can load heavy equipment on their planes to expedite the time packages and goods are delivered. You will need to schedule a time to have the items picked up, or for a lesser charge, you can transport the items to the airport and drop them off in their outdoor baggage area.
Depending on how heavy your equipment is, purchase a car dolly, an attachable cart for cars and have it connected to your car. Place the item on the dolly and secure it with rope. This method is suitable for transport to and from short distances and is not recommended for long-distance trips.
Call cargo boat shipping companies in your area to see if you can have heavy equipment transported. Many of them can ship equipment to a bay or harbor in your area. You can then schedule to have a ground shipping company ship the items to your home or place of business. Many cargo boat shipping companies can transport your equipment to other countries as well. Be prepared to rent a U-Haul truck or van to transport items to and from a bay or harbor.
Freight companies work with shipping companies nationwide to transport large and heavy equipment. Like shipping companies, they come to the place where the equipment is located and transport them to shipping companies for you. When you pay the freight company for their service, they take care of paperwork, scheduling and fees associated with the shipping company for you.
