Heavy Equipment Transport in Lake County
Lake County work for us is mostly Clermont and the US-27 hill. We come north from Polk. Construction equipment and oversized loads, 24 hours. 863-632-7302.
US-27 grades and tight commercial cuts both show up. We pick the deck after we know height. A lowboy saves a lot of arguments at an overpass. School traffic in Clermont changes the clock. Tell us if you are next to a school.
Lowboy and RGN Transport in Lake County
US-27 grades and tight commercial cuts both show up. We pick the deck after we know height. A lowboy saves a lot of “will it clear?” arguments.
The RGN still needs a solid place to kneel. New commercial strips on 27 can have a lip or a soft berm. Send a photo of the entrance. We will tell you if we need a second drop on the same property.
Oversized Load Transport in Lake County
Clermont growth means more wide loads on a road that already carries truck traffic. We permit the move and we keep the truck out of the worst school windows when we can.
I-4 is not always the right answer once we have height. We decide I-4 versus US-27 after we tape the load and read the permit. Escorts get added when the width requires them.
Heavy Haul Trucking in Lake County
Heavy haul here is usually a machine going between a Lake County pad and an Orange County yard. We decide the road after we have height.
We haul up to 82,000 pounds. Send a weight ticket when you have one. Night windows help when the drop is toward Orlando. Say the hour the site will take the machine.
Construction Equipment Transport in Lake County
New houses and commercial strips keep loaders moving. We drop, unhook, and get off the street. Lake County deputies do not love a trailer blocking a lane.
If the next pad is Orlando, we can take the machine that far on the same ticket. That run is a normal week for us. Send both addresses up front.
Heavy Equipment Hauling in Lake County
If your next job is Orlando and the machine is in Clermont, we can connect them.
Hauling here is often a US-27 rental yard sending a unit south into Polk or east into Orange. Afternoon 27 is busy. Early morning is cleaner for a long deck.
Equipment Transport for Contractors and Rental Companies in Lake County
Rental yards that sit on US-27 use us when their truck is already in Orange. Send the fleet number and the hours.
GCs on the hill can put us on a standing list for the week. Email [email protected] with the machines and the sites. We will tell you which days the deck is open.
Hills, Grades and Lake County Heavy Haul Routes
Lake County is not flat. The ridge near Clermont, the grades on US-27, and the hills toward Groveland and Mascotte change how a loaded trailer behaves. A heavy machine on a long grade needs patience on the way up and care on the way down.
We plan Lake County hauls with the grade in mind. That means checking the route, not just the miles. A route that looks short on a map can include a long hill with a tight turn at the top.
Routes we use most often in the county include US-27, SR-50, SR-19, and the roads that connect them. I-4 and Florida's Turnpike sit along the edges for loads heading east. Which one we choose depends on height and width.
For tall iron, a lowboy transport keeps the load low on those grades and under the signals on SR-50. Tell us the height before we choose a deck.
Groveland, Leesburg and Eustis Construction Equipment Hauling
Lake County is more than Clermont. Groveland, Mascotte, Minneola, Leesburg, Eustis, Mount Dora, and Tavares all have active construction at different times of the year. We run loaders, skid steers, excavators, and compact machines to those sites from Frostproof.
Small-town job sites often have a short approach. A new subdivision may have curbs but no finished street. A commercial pad may have a lip at the driveway. We look at the entrance before we commit to a deck, and we ask for a photo when something looks tight.
If you are moving more than one machine, tell us the order they need to arrive. The skid steer for site prep goes first, and the excavator follows. A good order saves the crew from standing around.
Our construction equipment transport page lists the machines we haul, and the same deck covers Lake County. Dispatch takes calls 24 hours. Give us the site contact and the earliest time the crew can receive the machine.
Wide Load Permit and Escort Planning in Lake County
A wide load in Lake County is a load over 8 ft 6 in wide. Over 13 ft 6 in tall or 80,000 lb also needs a permit. We check the permit rules for the route, and escorts get added when the width requires them.
A county with growth and school zones has a lot of traffic at the wrong times. Escorts help, but the clock matters as much as the lead car. We try to plan the move away from school drop-off and pickup times and away from the busiest commuter hours.
Details we need for the permit:
- Exact width, height, and length of the load on the deck.
- Weight with attachments on or off.
- Pickup and drop addresses with the side of the road noted.
- Your preferred window, and a backup window.
Once the permit is issued, we run the route as written. See our oversized load transport page for the longer version.
Lake County Rental Return and Dealer Equipment Hauling
Rental yards and dealers in Lake County send machines in several directions. A unit may go to a job in Orange County, come back from Osceola, or head south into Polk. Many of those moves are short on paper and complicated in practice, because the yard is busy and the machine needs to be ready.
If you run a yard, a few habits make a rental return go faster:
- Have the machine clean, fueled if possible, and the attachments stowed.
- Tell us where the machine sits in the yard and which side the gate opens on.
- Give us a person to meet at the yard and a number that picks up.
- List any damage you want noted before the load.
We can place the machine on the deck, tie it down, and take it to the next stop. Many of our Lake County loads connect with Orange County yards. Send us the machine list and the sites by email at [email protected].
Scheduling Lake County Equipment Transport from Frostproof
Frostproof is south of Lake County on US-27, which is also the main road through the county. That gives us a straight line north for many jobs. We send trucks up US-27 and decide the last part of the route when we know the height and width.
The best planning starts with the date and the site. Early morning tends to work well for a long deck in a county with growing traffic. If the site can accept the machine at first light, say so. If the site has a gate that opens later, tell us that too.
When you call 863-632-7302, have the machine type, the weight, the pickup and drop addresses, and the date you need it there. Read how to prepare heavy equipment for transport if you want the checklist.
Jobs in Lake County often connect to Clermont and to the hills near the county line. Dispatch is open 24 hours, and you can request a quote with the details.
Also Serving Clermont
Clermont has its own city page. Use that if the job is in town. Use this page for the county. Same number.
