Moving Machinery That Will Not Fit in a Truck

Equipment hauling from North King Wreckers transports light machinery and work equipment across Northern Houston with proper loading, secure tie-downs, and careful handling.

You might need to move a skid steer from one job site to another in North Houston, or haul a generator and compressor from your property to a contractor's yard across town. Equipment hauling is necessary when the machinery is too large or heavy to fit in a pickup bed, or when you want to avoid the risk of damaging your own vehicle by overloading it or towing without the right hitch setup.

North King Wreckers provides equipment hauling for light machinery and work equipment using an owner-operated service that ensures accountability and careful handling on every load. Proper equipment and safety practices are used to secure each item, and the service is available for residential and commercial needs across Northern Houston. Contractors, property owners, and local businesses rely on this service when they need reliable transport without renting a trailer or coordinating multiple trips.

How Equipment Is Loaded and Transported Safely

When the truck arrives at your location in North Houston, the operator assesses the weight and dimensions of your equipment and positions the flatbed or trailer for loading. Ramps are used when possible, and smaller items are lifted or winched into place using straps and chains designed to handle uneven weight distribution.

After your equipment is loaded, you will see that it sits level and stable on the bed with tie-downs attached at multiple points to prevent shifting during acceleration, braking, or turning. Heavy machinery will not slide or tip, and smaller items are positioned to avoid contact with each other. The operator drives at controlled speeds and avoids sudden movements to keep the load secure throughout the trip.

This service is ideal for skid steers, generators, compressors, welders, small excavators, and similar equipment, but it does not include rigging for oversized loads, crane service, or transport of hazardous materials. The operator will confirm your drop-off location and timing before starting the haul, and will answer questions about weight limits or equipment compatibility when you call.

Here is what customers typically want to know

People calling for equipment hauling usually want to know whether their specific machinery can be moved, how it will be secured, and how long the job will take. These are the most common questions that come up before a haul is scheduled.

What types of equipment can be hauled?
The service handles light machinery such as skid steers, generators, compressors, welders, small excavators, and similar work equipment. If you are unsure whether your item can be moved, call to discuss weight and dimensions.
How is equipment secured during transport?
Equipment is secured with heavy-duty tie-down straps and chains attached to anchor points on the flatbed or trailer. The operator checks tension before departure and adjusts as needed to prevent shifting.
Can equipment be picked up from a residential property?
Yes, equipment can be picked up from driveways, yards, or job sites as long as there is enough space for the truck to access and load safely. The operator will confirm access details when you call.
How long does equipment hauling take?
Loading typically takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size and weight of your equipment. Transit time depends on the distance between pickup and drop-off locations in Northern Houston.
What if my equipment does not start or roll?
Non-rolling equipment can be winched onto the flatbed or trailer using a cable and pulley system. The operator will ask about the condition of your equipment when you call so the right tools are brought to the job.
