We schedule every heavy haul delivery around your lift window—handling permits, escorts, and real-time ETAs so your riggers stay productive, not waiting.
Moving heavy equipment isn’t just about weight—it’s about lining everything up before the truck even rolls. Permits, escorts, routing, timing, and coordination with rigging crews all have to be dialed in. If one piece is off, it can slow the entire job down on site.
We stay ahead of those details—so your load shows up ready to be handled, not creating delays.
Riggers don’t have room for guesswork. If a load shows up late, crews are standing around. If it shows up too early, it creates congestion and problems on site.
We plan every move around your schedule—handling routing, permits, and escorts—so the equipment arrives when you’re ready to pick it. Not early. Not late.
We stay connected with the job site so there’s no gap between the truck and the crew. Our team works directly with your superintendent—sharing updates and real-time ETAs as the load moves.
When the truck pulls in, everyone’s ready. No confusion. No waiting.
Coverage Across North America
Backed by Armstrong Transport Group, we tap into a large, vetted carrier network built to handle everything from single machine moves to full plant turnarounds.
We align delivery timing with your crane schedule and keep your superintendent updated throughout the move—so crews aren’t waiting and lifts stay on track.
Access to a trusted network of carriers equipped for heavy haul, specialized transport, and rigging-related moves across North America.
Backed by the strength and resources of Armstrong Transport Group—bringing added capacity, reliability, and coverage to every move.
When a facility is down or a new line is being installed, timing drives everything. Delays cost money—and deliveries out of sequence slow the entire job down.
We plan multi-truck shipments so equipment arrives in the exact order your rigging crew needs it. Each load is scheduled to match the install—not just delivered and left on site.
From oversized components to tight job site deliveries, this is how we move equipment for rigging crews across the country—on time and ready to lift.
We look at what you’re moving, where it’s going, and when it needs to arrive—then match the right mode to fit your timeline and budget. No overcomplicating the move, and no padding the quote with options you don’t need.
Best for large machines and full system moves. The load stays on a single trailer from pickup through delivery—reducing handling and keeping everything secure.
Ideal for mid-sized equipment that doesn’t require a full trailer. You get dedicated deck space without paying for unused capacity, with faster transit than LTL.
Used for smaller items like tooling and support equipment. A practical way to stage materials ahead of the main delivery.
Tight access doesn’t slow us down. Whether it’s a downtown job site between buildings, a manufacturing alley with overhead clearance issues, or a facility that wasn’t built for a 53-foot trailer—we’ve handled more restrictive sites than most carriers will take on.
Before any truck rolls, we verify site access. That means checking clearances, confirming turning radius, and identifying restrictions—permits, weight limits, low bridges, and overhead utilities. Every driver is briefed in advance, so there are no surprises on arrival.
We match the right trailer to your equipment—based on size, weight, dimensions, and loading requirements.
From flatbeds and step decks to lowboys and RGNs, every load is planned around proper support, securement, and safe handling from pickup through delivery.

You shouldn’t have to track your own shipment. We monitor every load in transit and keep your team updated with accurate, real-time information.
If there’s a delay or issue, you’ll know before the truck arrives—not after.
A crane sitting idle costs money. So does a truck that shows up hours early with nowhere to unload.
Your crew’s productivity depends on timing—and timing depends on communication. We stay in constant contact between the road and your job site, syncing delivery ETAs directly with your crane schedule.
When your team is ready to lift, the equipment is there. Not early. Not late.
We don’t just assign a truck and hope it lines up. Every detail is confirmed before the load leaves your facility. That includes checking site access, confirming lift windows, and briefing the driver on exactly what’s expected.
Everyone is on the same page before the shipment even starts moving.
When a facility powers down, every hour offline costs money. We coordinate sequenced, multi-truck deliveries so new machinery arrives exactly as old components are rigged out—no pile-ups, no waiting, no site congestion.
Active shipment monitoring keeps every truck aligned with your turnaround window. Your maintenance schedule doesn’t allow room for freight delays.
Won equipment at an industrial auction? Clearing out a closed facility under a hard deadline? Storage penalties don’t wait—and neither do we.
We move fast, sourcing specialized open-deck capacity to handle massive, diverse lots before the clock runs out. Tight removal windows, multiple pickup points, oversized loads—we’ve done this before and know what it takes to get it done clean and on schedule.
Standard carrier coverage often doesn’t reflect the true value of industrial equipment. Weight-based limits leave gaps—leaving your freight vulnerable. We provide options to ensure your cargo is fully protected.
We move heavy and industrial equipment with precision, from manufacturers to job sites. Every load is meticulously planned—covering permits, routing, and timing—to guarantee secure, timely delivery.
Industrial rigging freight demands more than transportation—it requires exact timing, detailed planning, and flawless coordination. From over-dimensional permits and escort vehicles to synchronization with on-site crane operations, every step matters.
Abound Transport serves as the operational link between your logistics plan and on-site execution. Equipment arrives safely, on time, and precisely when needed—keeping your project on schedule and minimizing costly downtime.
The Process
Plan. Coordinate. Deliver on time. We stay aligned with your crew so equipment arrives when your operations demand it.
1
We start by evaluating the load—dimensions, weight, and center of gravity—so we know exactly what equipment and handling it requires.
2
Once the load is defined, we line up the right trailer—flatbed, step deck, or RGN—and a carrier fully equipped for the move.
3
For oversized loads, we handle permits, routing, and escort vehicles ahead of time, ensuring nothing slows down the shipment later.
4
We stay in constant communication with your superintendent to align delivery timing with crane schedules and overall site readiness.
5
While in transit, we monitor the load and provide real-time updates so your team knows exactly when to expect it.
6
The truck arrives on schedule, ready for unloading, allowing your crew to start work immediately—no waiting, no surprises.
