Crane Transportation FAQ
What kind of cranes do you transport?
We have the experience, reputation, and capabilities to move any crane for our customers: forklifts, Tadano all-terrain cranes, Liebherr crawler cranes, floating cranes, and all mobile cranes. Titan can get your crane transported safely and on time.
How does a crane get transported?
As the name suggests, mobile cranes move by themselves. Some of these, such as all-terrain cranes, can drive over almost any surface, including specific roads and highways. Taller fixed cranes are transported on heavy-duty trailers in pieces and assembled at the construction site.
How do I transport a driveable crane?
Many cranes are roadworthy and drivable and, if properly registered, can easily be transported by road to and from the job site on their wheels. Large drivable cranes may require escort vehicles and special permits to be driven on public roads or through cities. However, the crane owners can often organize this process on their own.
What kind of trailers do you offer for shipping cranes?
Most standard freight trailers can sustain 30,000 lbs. with double 15,000 lb. heavy-duty axles. To handle 80,000 lbs. or more requires heavy-duty tri-axle trailers with low ground clearance for height constraints.
Some of our common types of trailer types include:
Removable Gooseneck Trailers (RGN):
- Max Weight: 150,000+ lbs; Main Deck Length 29 ft.
- Well Width 8.5 ft.
- Legal Height Limit 11.6 ft.
