Home Services Construction Equipment Shipping Backhoe Transport Services

A backhoe, also called a ‘backhoe loader’ or ‘digger’, is a machinery that combines two key functions: digging and loading. The rear part of the machinery has a two-part arm with a bucket at the end, and the front part usually has a loader bucket.

Need to move your digger across the country, or even across the globe? Atlantic Project Cargo is here to help, and we can assist with machinery transport, especially backhoe shipping.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Backhoe Loader?

There is no universal price, but we can give you the factors that affect the cost of backhoe transport:

Mode of transportation: Air charters are more expensive than ocean or ground transportation

Distance: Shipping a backhoe across the country would be cheaper than transporting machinery overseas

Additional expenses: Such as insurance, permits, customs duties, and so on

Size and Weight: The heavier the machinery, the higher the cost

Season: There are high and low seasons in shipping, and they affect the final cost

International Shipping of Backhoes

Roll-on-Roll-off (Ro-Ro)

It’s a method of shipping where vehicles, like backhoe loaders, are driven directly onto and off a ship

Full-Container Load (FCL)

This means the entire container is dedicated to your backhoe shipment. It’s a popular choice for shipping this machinery due to the protection and control it offers

Flat Rack

Excellent choice for shipping backhoes, especially those that are oversized or have dimensions exceeding standard container limits

Air Cargo

The fastest method for transporting machinery or its parts, but it is high cost

International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Backhoes

The rules differ from country to country, but the common ones are:

Export control (ITAR, EAR, and so on)
Import regulations (tariffs & duties, non-tariff barriers, safety standards, customs clearance)
Transport regulations (shipping documentation, dangerous goods regulations, weight and dimensions restrictions, insurance and others)
Technical standards (differences in safety standards, emissions, and noise regulations)
Phytosanitary certificates (required for machinery if it interacts with the ground and is transported to Australia or New Zealand)

Backhoe Moving Services Across The Country

Flatbed

These trailers offer a basic, open platform for securing and backhoe hauling

Step-Deck

Lowered rear platform, provides the necessary clearance to transport backhoes legally without requiring special permits

RGN

The most significant advantage of RGN trailers is their ability to accommodate tall loads

Restrictions on Moving Backhoes

Moving machinery over long distances comes with restrictions and regulations, such as:

Road regulations (speed limits, width and height restrictions, road use permits)
Transport regulations (oversized load permits, escort vehicles, route planning, insurance)
Additional regulations (seasonal restrictions, weight limits, local regulations)
