Moving heavy construction equipment is not something you want to guess on.
If you are transporting heavy construction equipment like cranes, bulldozers, dump trucks, and excavators,
you need a partner you can trust to deliver safely, on time, and within budget.
Buchanan Hauling and Rigging is an asset-based trucking company carrier that supports construction companies
with heavy haul, oversized load transportation, and heavy equipment hauling across North America.
Building your Construction Equipment Transport
Construction equipment is expensive. It is also hard to move.
That is why planning matters from the start.
The right plan can help you avoid:
Delays at the jobsite
Permit problems
Equipment damage
Unsafe loading and securement
Route issues like bridges, overpasses, and weight-restricted roads
Buchanan Hauling and Rigging stands out as a premier choice for heavy haul and oversized load transportation
across North America.
A Legacy of Expertise in Heavy Haul Transportation
Founded in 1996 by Geary Buchanan, Buchanan Hauling and Rigging has grown from a single truck operation
to a leading name in the transportation industry.
Our Heavy Haul Division specializes in moving oversized and overweight loads.
This includes construction equipment such as:
Cranes (tower cranes and mobile cranes)
Bulldozers
Excavators (compact to massive models)
Dump trucks (articulated and off-road)
Motor graders
Wheel loaders
Backhoes
Skid-steer loaders
With a fleet capable of handling loads up to 500,000 pounds, Buchanan has the expertise and equipment
to tackle even the most complex transportation challenges.
Our team supports heavy haul logistics from start to finish, including permit planning and route planning.
This is critical for over-dimensional and overweight loads.
Specialized Trailers for Construction Equipment
The right trailer makes a big difference.
Buchanan Hauling and Rigging uses heavy haul oversized dimension trailers that match your equipment,
your jobsite, and your route.
Our specialized trailer options include:
RGN Trailers (Removable Gooseneck): Great for cranes, bulldozers, and excavators. Easy loading and unloading for drivable machinery.
Stretch Trailers / stretch RGN trailers: Best for extra-long equipment. Can accommodate loads up to 74 feet long.
Lowboy Trailers: Helps with height clearance. Useful under bridges and power lines. Can handle weights up to 150,000 pounds.
These trailers support safe construction equipment hauling while meeting road regulations.
They also help reduce risk during loading and unloading.
This makes Buchanan a one-stop shop for construction logistics.
Safety and Compliance: A Top Priority
Transporting oversized construction equipment comes with unique challenges.
It requires experience, planning, and the right process.
Buchanan Hauling and Rigging prioritizes safety and compliance.
We follow all Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations.
Our heavy haul safety process includes:
Handling the permitting process for oversized and overweight loads
Planning routes that comply with state and federal regulations
Using secure tie-down points, heavy-duty chains, and protective coverings
This helps protect your equipment and helps your delivery stay on schedule.
Nationwide and Cross-Border Capabilities
Some projects are local. Others are not.
Either way, you need a heavy haul partner with reach.
Buchanan Hauling and Rigging supports seamless delivery across the United States.
We also help construction companies move equipment across North America. With the help of our sister company, we can also include Canada and Mexico, with no transloading required.
Our logistics specialists help plan routes, secure permits, and optimize delivery schedules
to keep your project on track.
