Heavy Equipment Hauling Services in Boise, Idaho
Associated Pacific Movers, Inc specializes in heavy equipment hauling throughout Idaho and surrounding states. Correctly moving heavy-duty commercial and industrial machinery requires planning, permitting, and experienced operators. This is not standard freight and it is not a DIY job. Our team has relocated heavy equipment for more than four decades. We know what it takes to transport oversized and overweight loads safely, legally, and on schedule, including jobsite coordination and route planning.
Rigging and hauling in Idaho is different than moving smaller loads. Terrain, access points, height restrictions, and compliance requirements change the entire plan. You want a partner who is trained to handle those details so your equipment arrives ready to work. We follow proven best practices for safe heavy hauling operations and compliance. Learn more about heavy hauling safety procedures. For regulation and permitting guidance, Idaho publishes oversize and overweight permitting information through its transportation authority.

Every Heavy Equipment Move Is Different
Every job varies based on access, terrain, equipment type, weight distribution, and timing. Some equipment is only 1,000 pounds but awkward to secure. Other machinery can exceed 10,000 pounds and require specialized trailers and a strict securement plan.
That is why customized planning matters. Heavy equipment transport in Boise and across Idaho should never be a one-size-fits-all quote. We evaluate the details, then choose the safest and most efficient method.
Pre-Haul Checklist for a Smooth Move
- Confirm equipment dimensions, weight, and any attachments
- Identify pickup access points, grades, gates, and surface conditions
- Verify delivery site access and placement requirements
- Determine whether permits or escort vehicles may be needed

What Is Heavy Equipment Hauling
Heavy equipment hauling is the transportation of machinery or oversized loads that cannot be safely moved using standard vehicles or a typical freight approach. It often involves specialized trailers, securement procedures, route planning, and jobsite coordination.
Even equipment with wheels frequently requires professional hauling when moved across Idaho or to another state due to load size, weight, clearance, and safety requirements.
We have a wide array of equipment that helps us move everything from sheds and tiny homes to tractors and construction equipment. We also move commercial equipment.
Our experience supports many industries including agriculture, construction, manufacturing, residential, food and beverage, and more.

The Importance of Hiring Professional Heavy Equipment Haulers
Heavy equipment hauling can go wrong fast when planning is rushed or the wrong equipment is used. That can lead to injuries, equipment damage, schedule delays, and compliance issues on the road.
We prefer to be involved from the beginning so we can plan the move correctly, protect your equipment, and keep the process safe for everyone involved.
It takes more than a few dollies and a flatbed to transport most equipment. We invest in specialized trailers, rigging tools, and training to ensure every move is handled securely.
Some loads require lifting, staged loading, and precise placement at delivery. Our crews select the right method based on your equipment and site conditions.
We evaluate:
- Dimensions
- Weight
- Balanced load and center of gravity
- Access points and obstacles
We can choose a step deck trailer, oversized haul trailer, flatbed hauler, or double drop trailer depending on the equipment and route.
Trailer Options and Best Use
Trailer Type Best For Common Examples Flatbed General equipment with standard height clearance Forklifts, skids, palletized equipment Step Deck Taller loads needing lower deck height Tractors, smaller excavators, industrial units Double Drop Oversized loads needing maximum clearance control Large construction machinery, specialty equipment Oversize Haul Trailer Overweight or oversized equipment with special securement Bulldozers, combine harvesters, mining equipment

Equipment Hauling Logistics and Route Planning
Logistics are the foundation of successful heavy equipment transport. Fast quotes and rushed planning often lead to delays, damage, or road compliance issues.
Our logistics team evaluates how far the equipment must travel, how quickly it must arrive, and the access constraints at pickup and delivery. We also plan routes around clearance, turning radius, grades, and restrictions.
Some loads require additional coordination such as permit timing, route surveys, or escort vehicles. We help you understand what is needed based on the load and the route.
Equipment may be transported individually or consolidated for bulk equipment transport. When you are relocating a construction site or moving business equipment, coordinated hauling can reduce downtime and simplify scheduling.
If your move includes structures or buildings, our team also provides home and building moving services.
