Specialized hauling for crawler dozers of all sizes
Trust Titan with Your Bulldozer Transport Needs
Bulldozer shipping is something you want done correctly and efficiently by heavy haulers and transport companies. In matters of heavy construction equipment, you can rest assured that Titan Worldwide does complete due diligence in matching your dozer to the best and most cost-effective trailer.
Whether you need flatbed trailers for standard models or specialized step deck trailers for unique attachment configurations, we have the right transport solution.
Safe & Reliable Heavy Equipment Handling
Your bulldozer transport deserves more than just a truck and some chains. Our certified operators match your exact equipment specs to the perfect trailer, whether that’s a specialized lowboy trailer for your D11, standard trailers for mini dozers, flatbed trailers for compact equipment, step deck trailers for mid-size machines, or an RGN for oversized crawler bulldozer transport.
We move big crawler dozers nationwide, including Cat D8-D11, Komatsu D155-D475, Deere 1050K, and equivalents. From multi-axle RGNs to blade and ripper removals, permits, escorts, and tight yard timing, we handle it all end-to-end.
Specialized dozer types we transport:
- Mining dozers: Cat D10/D11, Komatsu D375/D475. Heavy, wide, usually split: chassis on RGN, blade and ripper shipped separately.
- Heavy construction dozers: Cat D8/D9, Komatsu D155/D275, Deere 850K/1050K. Often requires blade or ripper removal to meet height and width restrictions.
- Landfill/waste dozers: Full guarding, winches, wider track shoes. Heavier tare weight; mud and debris can add unexpected weight.
- LGP/swamp dozers: Wide shoes and long track frames. Width drives permit requirements and escort planning.
- Forestry/slope dozers: Sweeps, screens, winches. Guarding raises overall height; removals are planned accordingly.
Whether you’re moving a mining-grade D11 or a forestry dozer with specialized attachments, our team has the expertise and equipment to transport your heavy crawler safely and efficiently.
Equipment Configuration & Compliance
Transporting large dozers isn’t just about finding a trailer big enough. It’s about knowing when and how to configure your machine to meet federal and state regulations. Height, width, weight, and overhang limits vary by jurisdiction, and a dozer that’s legal in one state may require modifications in another.
Our team evaluates each machine against your route, then makes the necessary configuration changes to keep your transport compliant, safe, and on schedule.
Configuration changes that keep you legal:
- Blade removal: SU/U/coal blades push width and height limits. We pull blade and push arms, ship on a step deck or flatbed. All hydraulic lines are marked and ends capped.
- Ripper removal: Single or multi-shank rippers spike rear overhang and axle weights. Removed and shipped as a second piece when necessary.
- Guarding and winches: If sweeps, cab guards, or winches exceed height restrictions, we remove or lower them as regulations allow.
- Track shoes: Extreme-wide shoes can push width limits. We measure at the shoes, not just the track gauge, for accurate dimensions.
Here’s how we move large dozers:
- Trailers: 3+1, 3+2, 4+2 RGN configurations; jeep/booster added as needed. 18-22 inch deck height to control overall height.
- Loading: Drop-neck loading with drive-on capability. Low-angle approach, spotters on each side. Chock and block under frame components, never sheet metal.
- Securement: Chains attached to approved frame or track frames only. No chaining cylinders, rods, or guards. Meet or exceed 50% WLL (Working Load Limit) forward and aft.
- Prep: We relieve blade and ripper hydraulics, secure hoses, bag all pins, and photograph all removed parts for documentation and reassembly.
Every configuration change is documented with before-and-after photos, and all removed components are labeled, secured, and tracked separately.
When your dozer arrives at its destination, you’ll have a complete record of what was modified, where each part is located, and clear instructions for reassembly. We don’t just move your equipment; we deliver it ready to put back together and put to work.
