These items may include construction equipment, industrial machinery, and oversized vehicles. Heavy haul cargo is typically transported using specialized equipment such as lowboys, flatbeds, and heavy haul trucks with reinforced frames and increased load capacity. The transportation of heavy haul cargo often requires special permits, routing, and escorts to ensure safe and efficient transport.

This kind of cargo is typically moved using specialized vehicles such as flatbed trucks, lowboys and extendable trailers, heavy haul trucks with reinforced frames, and other specialized equipment. The transportation of heavy haul cargo often requires special permits, routing, and escorts to ensure safe and efficient transport.
