Wisconsin's manufacturing heritage and agricultural prominence create steady heavy equipment transport demand. From the paper mills of the Fox Valley to the dairy farms that make the state famous, from automotive manufacturing to Great Lakes shipping, HEAT Freight serves the Badger State with regional expertise.
Wisconsin's dairy industry is among the nation's largest, requiring farm equipment and processing machinery. Paper and pulp mills in the Fox Valley need production equipment. Automotive suppliers throughout the state require manufacturing equipment. Great Lakes shipping generates port equipment needs. Food processing facilities need specialized equipment.
WisDOT issues oversize/overweight permits. Standard limits are 8.5' width, 13.5' height, and 80,000 lbs. Spring weight restrictions apply during thaw. Loads over 12' wide require front escort; over 14.5' requires dual. Permits start at $20—among the lowest nationally.

How do spring weight restrictions affect Wisconsin transport?
Wisconsin imposes spring weight restrictions during thaw, typically mid-March through mid-May. Restrictions can reduce allowable weights by 50% or more on many roads. We monitor postings and advise on timing for heavy shipments.
What dairy industry equipment do you transport?
We transport milking systems, bulk tanks, cheese processing equipment, and farm machinery throughout Wisconsin's dairy regions. We coordinate with farm and plant schedules for optimal delivery timing.
Can you transport paper mill equipment?
Yes, we serve Wisconsin's paper industry with transport of mill equipment, converting machinery, and processing systems. We understand the timing requirements for mill construction and renovation projects.
What makes Wisconsin permit fees competitive?
Wisconsin single-trip permits start at just $20, among the lowest in the nation. This makes the state relatively cost-effective for oversized loads. Combined with favorable escort thresholds, Wisconsin offers good value for heavy haul.
