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.
Yes. We manage all oversize/overweight permits for every state the crane passes through, including superload permits where required. Permits are route-specific and we handle the full application process.
We transport all major crane brands including Liebherr, Manitowoc, Grove, Terex, Tadano, Link-Belt, Kobelco, Demag, and others. Our carriers are experienced with crane freight across all types.
Yes. Pilot car requirements vary by state and load dimensions. We coordinate all required escorts (front, rear, and side pilots) as part of your crane transport package.
Transit time depends on origin, destination, and route. Most crane moves within the continental US take 3 to 10 days. Permit processing can add 1 to 5 business days. We provide an accurate timeline when you request your quote.
