Heavy Equipment Transport in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's industrial heritage and modern economy create diverse heavy equipment transport needs. From the steel mills that remain along the Monongahela to the pharmaceutical corridor outside Philadelphia, from Marcellus Shale gas operations to agricultural equipment in Lancaster County, HEAT Freight navigates the Keystone State's varied terrain and complex regulations.

Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale gas industry requires drilling rigs, completion equipment, and pipeline construction machinery. The pharmaceutical industry around Philadelphia needs precision manufacturing equipment. Steel and manufacturing facilities throughout the state require production equipment. Agricultural operations, particularly in Lancaster County, need farm equipment. The state's nuclear plants require specialized equipment transport.

Pennsylvania Heavy Haul FAQ

What are the PA Turnpike oversize procedures?

The Pennsylvania Turnpike has specific oversize requirements including permitted hours, escort mandates, and tunnel clearances. The tunnels in the central part have strict height limits. We obtain Turnpike authority permits and coordinate all tunnel-related requirements.

Can you transport Marcellus Shale equipment?

Yes, we have extensive experience with Pennsylvania's natural gas industry including drilling rig moves, frac equipment, and pipeline construction equipment. We coordinate with well schedules and navigate the rural roads common to gas operations.

How do you handle Philadelphia-area deliveries?

The Philadelphia metro has extensive restrictions including prohibited routes, curfew windows, and specific routing requirements. We plan routes carefully to navigate the area compliantly and efficiently, often using off-peak scheduling.

What are the bridge weight considerations?

Pennsylvania has numerous older bridges with posted weight limits below standard legal weights. We verify bridge ratings for every route and may use alternative routes for heavy loads. Some bridges require engineering analysis for superloads.
