When we started shipping cars all around the U.S. in 2006, we mostly shipped smaller cars like sedans and SUVs. As our reputation expanded, so did the demand for heavy vehicle transport. By 2008 we had started moving medium-duty vehicles like box trucks and school buses. We soon added heavy-duty transport, which includes military equipment, delivery trucks and commercial equipment.
For more than a decade now, we’ve been providing oversized vehicle transport services, helping customers move their RVs, forklifts, vans and food trucks across state borders. We fully insure every vehicle we send, no matter the size, so you can be sure it’s protected from pickup to delivery.
Medium-Duty vs. Heavy-Duty Vehicle Transport
At Global Auto Transportation we handle both medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicle transport.
Medium-duty vehicles typically include commercial vans, shuttle buses, box trucks, Sprinter vans and some RVs. These vehicles generally require specialized transportation, but can usually be shipped with fewer restrictions compared to heavy-duty equipment.
Heavy-duty vehicles, on the other hand, include oversized machinery and equipment that require special handling: construction and mining equipment like excavators, bulldozers, forklifts and cranes, as well as commercial trucks, food trucks and oversized RVs or campers. Shipping this type of vehicles may require permits, escorts and custom heavy equipment hauling solutions. We have long-time experience in heavy vehicle transport, as well as all the necessary equipment to ship both medium- and heavy-duty vehicles nationwide.
Why Ship Your Large Vehicle With GAT?
There are many reasons you might need reliable oversized vehicle transport. Perhaps you’ve just launched a new business and need to relocate your Sprinter van or shuttle bus. You might also be planning a long road trip in your RV, but you don’t have time to drive it personally. Or you might be moving heavy machinery like bulldozers, forklifts or excavators to a new job site.
No matter what, Global Auto Transportation makes it easy. We take care of the licenses and logistics. We have all the necessary specialized equipment for oversized shipping. Just let us know where you want your vehicle to go, and we’ll make sure it gets there.
Open Carrier Shipping for Heavy-Duty and Oversized Vehicles
Smaller vehicles can be shipped via enclosed car transport or open car transport, but oversized and heavy equipment hauling generally requires open-air transport. With this method your medium- or heavy-duty vehicle is secured to one of our specialized open truck and trailer combinations, designed to handle heavy loads. This makes sure that the transfer is safe and stable, especially for vehicles that can’t be easily disassembled or moved by regular carriers.
