Why Proper Dismantling and Transportation Matter
Large machinery and industrial components carry substantial value and risk. Incorrect dismantling can damage equipment, cause injury, or lead to regulatory violations during transport. Additionally, oversized loads require permitting, route planning, and careful load securement. Professional dismantling preserves equipment condition for reuse or resale and ensures safe transportation that complies with DOT and local rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the weight and dimension of oversized components determined?
We perform field measurements, consult manufacturer specs when available, and, if necessary, coordinate with certified scale services or use dimensional estimation tools to ensure accurate permitting requirements.
Do you handle oversize permits and escorts?
Yes. We manage permit applications and arrange pilot/escort vehicles as required by state or local jurisdictions.
Can you reassemble equipment at the destination?
Yes. Our teams can perform reassembly and reinstallation services, coordinate with equipment manufacturers, and provide testing support if requested.
What happens with fluids and hazardous substances inside equipment?
All liquids and hazardous substances are drained, captured, and disposed of through permitted channels prior to transport. We provide documentation verifying proper handling.
How long does dismantling typically take?
Times vary from a single day for small modules to several weeks for complex, multi-component systems. We provide schedule estimates during planning and coordinate to minimize operational downtime.
