When Standard Transport Isn't Enough
ARI Logistics specializes in the safe, compliant transport of oversize and overweight freight that exceeds standard highway limits. From heavy construction equipment to industrial machinery, we provide end-to-end solutions including permit acquisition, route surveys, pilot car coordination, and expert load planning.
Our experience in multi-state oversize/overweight transport ensures your high-value, over-dimensional loads arrive safely and on schedule.
Specialized Transport Capabilities
📏 Oversize Transport
Freight exceeding standard width (8'6"), height (13'6"), or length (53') limits. We handle loads requiring oversize permits across multiple dimensions.
Examples:
- Wide loads (modular homes, industrial tanks)
- Tall equipment (HVAC units, prefab structures)
- Long hauls (steel beams, wind turbine blades)
- Multi-dimensional oversize freight
⚖️ Overweight Transport
Heavy loads exceeding 80,000 lbs gross vehicle weight. Our team coordinates overweight permits and ensures compliance with state-specific axle weight regulations.
Examples:
- Heavy machinery and equipment
- Industrial generators and transformers
- Large fabricated steel components
- Mining and energy sector equipment
🚜 RGN/Lowboy Heavy Haul
Removable gooseneck (RGN) and lowboy trailers for heavy construction and industrial equipment. Low deck height accommodates tall, heavy machinery.
Examples:
- Excavators and bulldozers
- Cranes and boom lifts
- Forklifts and loaders
- Road construction equipment
📋 Multi-State Permit Coordination
We handle the complex permitting process for oversize/overweight loads crossing multiple state lines. Full compliance with DOT and state regulations.

- Police escort coordination (when required)
- State-specific escort compliance
- Real-time route communication
Detailed Route Planning & Surveys
Over-dimensional loads require careful route planning to avoid obstacles like low bridges, narrow roadways, and weight-restricted infrastructure. Our team conducts thorough route surveys to identify the safest, most efficient path for your shipment.
