Indiana's central location and manufacturing heritage make it a heavy equipment transport hub. Known as the 'Crossroads of America,' the state's extensive highway network facilitates efficient movement of industrial equipment, agricultural machinery, and construction equipment. HEAT Freight leverages Indiana's logistics advantages to serve customers throughout the Midwest.
Indiana's automotive industry, including major assembly plants and extensive supplier network, requires constant transport of production equipment and tooling. Steel production along the Lake Michigan shore generates demand for mill equipment and fabricated steel. Agricultural operations throughout the state need combines, planters, and grain handling systems. Indianapolis motor sports facilities require specialized equipment transport.
INDOT issues oversize/overweight permits with relatively favorable dimensions. Indiana allows loads up to 14'6" height without permits on most routes. Standard width limit is 8'6". Weight permits are available for heavy loads with route-specific analysis. The state coordinates well with neighboring states for regional transport.
What is Indiana's height limit without permits?
Indiana allows 14'6" height on most routes without requiring an overheight permit, one of the more favorable limits in the region. This simplifies transport of many tall loads. However, specific routes with low bridges still require route verification.
Can you serve Indiana automotive plants?
Yes, we regularly transport equipment to Indiana's automotive facilities including Toyota, Subaru, Honda, and the extensive supplier network. We coordinate with plant logistics teams for delivery scheduling and understand the production-critical nature of equipment arrivals.
How do you handle Indiana Toll Road transport?
The Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90) is a major east-west corridor with electronic tolling. Oversize loads may require specific permits and routing. We manage toll road logistics and can advise whether the toll road or alternative routes better serve your shipment.
