Heavy Equipment Transport in Colorado
Colorado's Rocky Mountain terrain presents some of the most challenging heavy haul routes in North America. From ski resort construction equipment to Front Range urban development, from oil and gas operations on the Western Slope to agricultural machinery on the Eastern Plains, HEAT Freight has the mountain driving expertise and permit knowledge to navigate Colorado's diverse geography.
Colorado's energy sector spans oil and gas extraction, renewable wind and solar installations, and coal mining. The construction industry serves rapid population growth along the Front Range. Ski resorts require seasonal equipment transport including snowcats, lift components, and grooming machines. Agriculture dominates the Eastern Plains with wheat, corn, and cattle operations.
Colorado Oversize/Overweight Permit Information
CDOT issues oversize/overweight permits with careful attention to mountain routes. Many passes have strict weight and dimension limits. I-70 through the Eisenhower Tunnel has a 13'11" height limit. Chain laws apply in winter. Superloads often must use alternative routes avoiding mountain passes.
Colorado Heavy Haul FAQ
What are the Eisenhower Tunnel restrictions?
The Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70 has a 13'11" height limit and hazmat restrictions. Overheight loads must use Loveland Pass (US-6), which has its own challenges including steep grades and sharp curves. We route plan all Colorado shipments carefully considering these restrictions.
How do you handle winter transport over mountain passes?
Winter transport in Colorado requires chain-equipped trucks, experienced mountain drivers, and flexible scheduling for weather delays. We monitor CDOT road conditions and chain law enforcement. Some passes close entirely during severe weather. We advise clients on optimal seasonal timing.
Can you transport wind turbine components to Colorado wind farms?
Yes, we regularly transport wind turbine blades, nacelles, and tower sections to Colorado wind farms. These loads require detailed route surveys, multiple escorts, and often specialized trailers. We coordinate with wind farm construction schedules for optimal delivery timing.
What weight restrictions apply on Colorado mountain routes?
Many Colorado mountain routes have reduced weight limits due to bridge and road bed limitations. I-70 has specific restrictions through the mountains. CDOT requires engineering analysis for superloads on mountain routes. We verify current restrictions for every shipment and obtain appropriate permits.
