Reliable Plant & Machinery Transport Solutions

Plant and machinery transport covers the movement of industrial equipment, production machinery, agricultural equipment, mining assets, and other heavy or oversized freight. Kodiak Freight focuses on oversize and overweight shipments, including loads that require specialized trailers, permits, escorts, securement planning, route review, and coordinated loading or unloading support.

Kodiak Freight transports machinery for agriculture, manufacturing, mining, railroad, and other large-scale industries. Common freight includes tractors, combines, harvesters, excavators, drilling rigs, crushers, plant equipment, factory machinery, production line components, and other specialty equipment that exceeds standard freight dimensions or requires custom handling.

Yes. Kodiak Freight specializes in oversize and overweight heavy-haul shipments. These moves may require state-by-state permits, pilot car or escort coordination, route compliance, specialized trailer configurations, and careful securement. The team’s Heavy Haul Division is designed to handle the extra planning required for legal and safe movement.

Permits are often required when a load exceeds legal height, width, length, or weight limits. Kodiak Freight offers permit and escort support to help coordinate state DOT requirements, route compliance, pilot cars, and movement restrictions. Proper permitting helps avoid costly delays, enforcement issues, and unsafe routing decisions.

The right trailer depends on the equipment’s dimensions, weight, loading method, and route constraints. Kodiak Freight supports heavy-haul options such as Landoll hydraulic tilt-deck transport, specialized heavy-haul configurations, and power-only solutions when customers already have a suitable trailer and need a power unit and driver.

Pricing is based on factors such as equipment size, weight, distance, trailer type, permit requirements, escort needs, route complexity, loading and unloading support, and delivery timing. Oversize or overweight machinery generally requires more planning than standard freight, so accurate dimensions and site details help produce a better transport quote.

Transit time depends on route length, permitting lead times, state travel restrictions, escort availability, and the complexity of loading or unloading. Oversize loads may have limited travel windows or restricted routes. Kodiak Freight focuses on safe and timely delivery by planning the details before the equipment moves.

Helpful details include the equipment make and model, overall dimensions, operating weight, origin and destination addresses, loading and unloading conditions, preferred timing, and whether cranes, rigging, ramps, or escorts may be needed. Photos and spec sheets are also useful for securement planning and trailer selection.
