Are you looking at shipping a crawler tractor? They come in a variety of different shapes, sizes and configurations, and range from small to massive. This can make crawler tractor transportation a bit tougher to find and price.
As such, you’ll need to make sure you have the dimensions of your crawler on-hand as well as the configuration. This is because your shipper is going to need to figure out the best way to actually ship it.
How shipping a crawler tractor works
Most of the time a crawler tractor is going to need to be shipped on a flatbed hauler. Standard car carriers lack the design to haul something with tracks such as a crawler tractor.
Theoretically they could, but most will shy away from them due to weight anyway, so it’s a moot point. Cars are one thing – heavy equipment quite another. As such, shipping a crawler tractor is best left to flatbed haulers that can definitely handle the size and weight that it brings.
When you ship a crawler tractor, the right flatbed hauler will need to be found. Smaller ones often can fit on a standard flatbed that ships oversize vehicles. However, larger ones will likely need special heavy equipment haulers in order to manage it.
This can and likely will increase the price, which already goes up with size and weight. Make sure to keep this in mind as you start searching for a company that can haul it. Quotes are great to start with, as you can compare prices and find one that fits your budget.
