Utah's extractive industries, technology sector, and growing population create diverse heavy equipment transport needs. From copper mining operations near Salt Lake to oil shale developments, from Silicon Slopes tech campuses to ski resort construction, HEAT Freight navigates the Beehive State's mountain terrain and desert corridors.
Utah's mining industry produces copper, gold, and coal requiring excavators and processing equipment. The technology sector along the Wasatch Front needs data center equipment. Ski resorts require seasonal equipment transport. Oil and gas operations need drilling and production equipment. The state's growing construction industry demands cranes and earthmoving equipment.
UDOT issues oversize/overweight permits. Standard limits are 8.5' width, 14' height, and 80,000 lbs. Mountain routes may have specific restrictions. The state participates in Western regional permit agreements. Some routes have seasonal restrictions.
