Oversized & Heavy Haul Trucking Services

Oversized and heavy haul trucking is used for machinery, production equipment, structural components, and other loads that exceed standard legal size or weight limits. These shipments often require specialized trailers, route planning, permits, escort coordination, and careful loading procedures. IPS supports complex industrial moves involving large, high-value equipment that demands experienced handling from pickup through delivery.

IPS has single lift capabilities up to 800 tons, which supports the loading, unloading, and transport coordination of extremely heavy industrial equipment. Actual transport planning depends on the dimensions, weight distribution, origin, destination, and site conditions of the load. Our team evaluates each project to match the right lifting equipment, trailer configuration, and logistics plan for safe execution.

Yes, most oversized and overweight shipments require permits based on the load’s dimensions, weight, route, and jurisdictions involved. Permit requirements can vary by state, province, or border crossing. IPS has expertise in permitting oversized loads and coordinating the logistics needed to keep projects compliant, reduce delays, and support efficient movement across intrastate, interstate, and international routes.

Cross-border heavy haul projects typically involve documentation review, route coordination, permit compliance, and timing considerations at the border. Our team helps organize these moving parts so equipment can be relocated safely and with fewer disruptions to project schedules.

IPS supports a wide range of industrial sectors, including automotive, food processing, die-casting, injection molding, paper manufacturing, printing, CNC machinery, metal forming, coating systems, plastics, and medical equipment. Because many of these environments involve large, specialized assets, our heavy haul services are designed to protect sensitive equipment, maintain schedules, and support broader installation or relocation goals.

Yes. One of IPS’s strengths is integrating multiple disciplines under one team. Heavy haul trucking can be paired with crane and rigging, machinery moving, millwright support, facility relocation, and project management services. This turnkey approach reduces coordination gaps, limits handoff issues, and helps clients manage complex industrial moves with a single point of accountability from start to finish.

IPS plans heavy haul projects around operational priorities, sequencing, and site requirements to reduce unnecessary interruptions. Our team coordinates lifting, transport, unloading, and placement so equipment moves stay aligned with production schedules whenever possible. By combining logistics, specialized equipment, and experienced project oversight, we help clients relocate machinery on time, within budget, and with minimal disruption to operations.

Start by gathering the equipment dimensions, weight, pickup and delivery locations, site access details, and any timing constraints. It also helps to identify whether loading or unloading will require cranes, rigging, or temporary storage. IPS uses this information to assess transport requirements, permitting needs, route considerations, and support services so the project can be planned accurately and executed safely.
