Heavy Equipment Transport in Delaware
Delaware may be the second-smallest state, but its strategic location on the Eastern Seaboard and business-friendly environment generate significant heavy equipment transport demand. The Port of Wilmington serves as a major import hub, while the state's chemical and pharmaceutical industries require specialized equipment handling that HEAT Freight provides with precision and care.
Delaware's chemical industry, anchored by DuPont's historic presence, requires transport of reactors, heat exchangers, and processing equipment. The Port of Wilmington handles fruit imports, automobiles, and project cargo including oversized equipment. Pharmaceutical manufacturing along the I-95 corridor needs cleanroom systems and production equipment. Poultry processing serves the Delmarva Peninsula's agricultural economy.
Delaware Oversize/Overweight Permit Information
DelDOT issues oversize/overweight permits with relatively straightforward requirements. Standard limits are 8'6" width, 13'6" height, and 80,000 lbs. The state's small size and limited highway miles mean most transport involves crossing state boundaries, requiring coordination with neighboring state permits.
