Wheel loaders are widely valued for their flexibility in construction and industrial projects, but they often need to be relocated between job sites. Since these machines aren’t designed for long-distance travel, hiring a skilled and experienced transport company is essential. With over a decade of expertise in heavy equipment shipping, our team specializes in moving all types of wheel loaders safely and efficiently. The choice of trailer for transport is carefully selected by our experts based on the size and weight of your machine.
The transportation method depends on the specifications of the wheel loader. In most cases, step deck trailers are used for standard wheel loaders, while compact models are typically shipped on flatbed trailers. For heavier equipment—those exceeding 40,000 pounds or taller than 11 feet RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers are the preferred choice. Our fleet of modern, durable trailers is designed to handle challenging routes, making it easy to deliver your wheel loader directly to and from construction sites.
To match each wheel loader with the correct hauling setup, Compare Transport LLC uses:
Every truck and trailer undergoes strict inspections before each job to guarantee safety and reliability.
Because many wheel loaders exceed standard legal dimensions, oversize and overweight permits are often required. At Compare Transport LLC, we manage all compliance needs, including:
We verify every route and secure approvals before dispatch so your project doesn’t face unexpected delays.

Transporting a wheel loader safely involves several key steps:
A wheel loader’s productivity depends on the model, bucket size, and material being handled. On average, a medium-sized wheel loader can move 50 to 150 cubic yards per hour. Factors such as terrain, operator experience, and load type also impact hourly performance. For heavier models or challenging conditions, the capacity may vary.
