FAQ

Crane Shipping & Crane Transport Questions

Crane shipping cost depends on the crane type, total weight, number of loads, mileage, and the permits and escorts each state requires. As a freight broker we price every crane transport move individually and return a firm quote, typically within 1 business hour of your request.
It depends on the crane type and size. All-terrain cranes often ship in travel configuration. Lattice boom crawler cranes must be fully broken down into component loads: carbody, upperworks, boom sections, and counterweights. We assess the specific crane and advise on the best approach.
A small all-terrain crane may ship in one or two loads. A large crawler crane like a Liebherr LR1300 can require 10 to 20 or more individual loads. We provide a full load breakdown and coordinate all trucks and permits.
