Heavy Haul Solutions for
Your Most Demanding Loads.
When your equipment exceeds legal dimensions or weight limits, you need specialists — not generalists. Carolina Expressways coordinates heavy haul and over-dimensional transport with the precision these loads demand.
Heavy Haul at a Glance
What Is Heavy & Tall Equipment Transport?
Heavy haul transport moves cargo that exceeds standard legal weight or dimension limits — requiring specialized equipment, state permits, and in many cases, pilot car escorts. This includes construction equipment, industrial machinery, transformers, wind turbine components, and other oversized loads.
Unlike standard flatbed, heavy haul requires detailed route planning, permit acquisition across multiple states, and specialized carriers with the right multi-axle equipment to distribute weight legally and safely.
Carolina Expressways manages the entire heavy haul process — from initial load assessment and equipment selection through permit coordination, escort arrangement, and real-time monitoring — so your oversized equipment arrives safely and on schedule.
When to Choose Heavy Haul
- Your load exceeds 48,000 lbs gross weight or standard axle weight limits
- Your cargo is over 8'6" wide, 13'6" tall, or 53' long
- You're moving construction equipment, cranes, or industrial machinery
- Your shipment requires multi-state oversize/overweight permits
- You need pilot car escorts or law enforcement coordination
- Your load requires a lowboy, RGN, or multi-axle specialized trailer
