Equipment Transport in Chicago
Forklifts and small machinery on a flatbed — between yards, shops and job sites across Chicago.
The same rollback flatbeds that carry cars carry machines. A forklift that needs to get from the yard to a job, a small machine that needs to reach a shop — it goes up on the deck, gets strapped down, and goes.
Equipment moves are planned work more often than emergencies, so call ahead when you can. Tell us the machine and the two addresses and we will work out the timing with you.
What goes on the deck
- Forklifts
- Small machinery and compact equipment
- Equipment moves between a yard and a job site
- Machines going to or coming back from a repair shop
- Non-running equipment that has to be winched on
What we need to know
Four things: what the machine is, roughly what it weighs, how wide and how tall it sits, and whether it drives on under its own power or has to be winched.
A photo helps more than a description. Text one to (773) 642-8484 and we can usually answer in a couple of minutes.
Loading and unloading
The deck tilts and a winch does the rest, so a machine that will not start is not a problem — it just takes a little longer at both ends.
What does matter is room. We need space to back in, tilt the deck and work around the machine. If the yard is tight or the job site is boxed in, tell us when you book it.
Where we move equipment
Across Chicago and out to the nearby suburbs — the same area we tow. Our yards on Justine Street and Ogden Avenue put us close to the industrial corridors on the Southwest and West Sides.
If the move is longer than that, call and ask. We will tell you whether it is something we can take on.
