Heavy haul is irregular — and unforgiving of bad matches
Construction moves rarely fit a standing schedule. Wrong trailer type, missing dimensions, or unclear permit needs waste days. You need an open market that only shows qualified heavy-haul capacity, with weight and equipment requirements captured before anyone quotes.
Platform approach
How Shipmater runs equipment moves
Post weight, dimensions, and handling (flatbed, lowboy, oversize). Only equipment-matched carriers see the job. Capture photos at pickup and delivery for load security and condition, and confirm route readiness before the truck rolls.
Built for this industry
Open-market heavy haul
One-off site moves get competitive bids from carriers who actually run flatbed and lowboy equipment.
Equipment-type matching
Specify flatbed, lowboy, or oversize so ambient vans never clog your bid list.
Dims and weight upfront
Capture the numbers carriers need to quote accurately — before the phone tag starts.
Permit and special notes
Surface oversize and route constraints on the tender so surprises show up before accept.
Load-secure photo proof
Pickup and delivery photos document condition and how the machine was secured.
Same-day site delivery
Live tracking keeps the job site informed while the machine is en route.
