Heavy Equipment Transport in California

California's massive economy generates enormous demand for heavy equipment transport across its diverse industries. From Silicon Valley technology installations to Central Valley agriculture, from Hollywood production equipment to Port of Los Angeles cargo, HEAT Freight navigates California's complex regulatory environment and congested corridors to deliver equipment safely and efficiently.

California leads in agricultural output, requiring seasonal movement of harvesting equipment, tractors, and processing machinery. The construction sector serves 39 million residents with constant demand for cranes, excavators, and concrete equipment. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach handle more container traffic than any other U.S. port complex, generating equipment transport needs. Technology campuses require specialized data center and manufacturing equipment.

California Oversize/Overweight Permit Information

Caltrans issues California oversize/overweight permits with strict requirements. California has unique weight limits on state highways that differ from federal standards. CARB (California Air Resources Board) regulations require compliant trucks for intrastate transport. Superloads require Caltrans engineering review and may require structural analysis of bridges along the route.

California Heavy Haul FAQ

What are California's unique trucking regulations?

California has stricter weight limits on many state highways than federal standards. CARB requires 2010 or newer engines for most intrastate transport. There are seasonal restrictions on Highway 99 during harvest season. We ensure full compliance with all California-specific requirements.

How do you handle Port of LA/Long Beach equipment pickup?

We coordinate with port terminals for equipment pickup, managing the complex appointment systems and documentation requirements. We can arrange chassis, crane services, and expedited port processing. Our team understands port congestion patterns and optimizes pickup timing.

What are the oversize load curfews in California urban areas?

Major metropolitan areas including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego have extensive curfew zones prohibiting oversize load movement during peak hours. Typically no movement is allowed 6-9 AM and 3-7 PM on weekdays. We route around curfew zones or schedule moves accordingly.

Can you transport agricultural equipment during harvest season?

Yes, we have extensive experience with California agricultural equipment transport. During harvest season, we coordinate moves around farm schedules and navigate Highway 99 corridor restrictions. We transport combines, harvesters, sprayers, and processing equipment throughout the Central Valley.
