Heavy Equipment Transport in North Dakota
North Dakota's Bakken oil boom transformed the state's economy and created intense heavy equipment transport demand. From the oil rigs of the Williston Basin to the wheat fields of the Red River Valley, HEAT Freight navigates the Peace Garden State's challenging distances and weather with experienced drivers and reliable equipment.
North Dakota's oil and gas industry in the Bakken formation requires drilling rigs, completion equipment, and production facilities. Agriculture, including wheat, soybeans, and sugar beets, demands combines and processing equipment. Wind energy development generates turbine transport needs. Coal mining in the western regions requires heavy equipment.

North Dakota Heavy Haul FAQ
How do spring weight restrictions affect North Dakota transport?
North Dakota imposes spring weight restrictions during thaw, typically March through May. Restrictions can reduce allowable weights by 50% or more on many roads. Heavy equipment moves often need to be scheduled before restrictions begin or after they lift.
Can you transport to Bakken oilfield locations?
Yes, we have extensive experience with the Bakken formation including drilling rig moves, frac equipment, and production facility transport. We coordinate with well schedules and understand the remote locations and oilfield protocols.
How do you handle North Dakota winter transport?
North Dakota winters are among the most severe in the nation. We use experienced cold-weather drivers, proper equipment, and flexible scheduling. Ground blizzards and extreme cold may require delays. We monitor conditions closely.
Can you transport agricultural equipment during harvest?
Yes, we transport combines, headers, and grain handling equipment throughout North Dakota's agricultural regions. We coordinate with harvest schedules, which can be compressed due to the short growing season, and navigate rural roads appropriately.
