Insurance For Hauling
Throughout the process, your machinery will be protected by insurance up to federal requirements. However, there are situations where the value of a particular piece of equipment may be higher than these federal minimums.
In these cases, additional insurance is a must-have. Though the risk of in-transit damage or loss is low, insurance provides peace of mind and confidence. We can discuss your insurance options after you get a quote from A1-AT.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship heavy equipment in Colorado Springs?
As of September 11, 2026, standard legal-size Colorado Springs heavy-equipment moves generally plan around $4-$5 per loaded mile under 250 miles, $3-$4 from 250-1,000 miles, and $2.50-$3.50 beyond 1,000 miles. A1's heavy equipment shipping calculator uses your route and machine details for a shipment-specific estimate. Oversize dimensions, RGN or lowboy service, permits, escorts, equipment weight, and difficult pickup access can raise the total above these bands.
How long does heavy equipment shipping take within or from Colorado Springs?
Loaded heavy equipment transit from Colorado Springs typically takes 1-3 days under 500 miles, 2-6 days for 500-1,500 miles, and about 5-10 days beyond 1,500 miles. Carrier assignment and any permit or route approval happen before loaded transit, so the full booking-to-delivery calendar can be longer. Large permitted loads may also face routing or travel-hour conditions that legal-size machinery does not. These are planning windows rather than guaranteed delivery dates.
What types of heavy machinery can be shipped from Colorado Springs?
Colorado Springs heavy equipment shipping can cover excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, graders, forklifts, skid steers, tractors, combines, generators, and other industrial machinery. A1's current Colorado Springs page identifies construction, agricultural, farm, and industrial equipment among the machinery it arranges for transport. The carrier needs the machine's make, model, operating weight, transport dimensions, operability, and attachment details before matching it with suitable equipment. Those measurements also determine whether the load stays legal-size or requires oversize permitting.
Do I need permits to transport heavy machinery in Colorado Springs?
Yes, when the loaded vehicle exceeds the applicable legal size or weight limits, Colorado Springs may require its own oversize or overweight permit in addition to any state authorization. The city lists 8 ft 6 in as its maximum legal width and 13 ft 6 in as its maximum legal height, with separate axle and gross-weight limits, and requires permit paperwork at least 5 business days before the scheduled move. Colorado rules also restrict extra-legal loads on specified Colorado Springs corridors from 7-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. Monday through Friday unless specially authorized.
How should I prepare my heavy equipment for transport?
Before pickup, clean and photograph the machine, secure loose items and movable attachments, and put booms, buckets, blades, or similar parts in their proper transport position. Check for active leaks and provide accurate loaded dimensions and operating weight before dispatch. Fuel, fluid, and battery requirements vary by machine and transport method, so follow the manufacturer's instructions and the carrier's loading requirements instead of draining fluids or disconnecting batteries automatically. A1's heavy equipment preparation guide covers the broader process.
What type of trailer is used to ship heavy equipment from Colorado Springs?
The trailer depends mainly on the machine's loaded height, weight, ground clearance, and loading method. Compact legal-size machinery may fit a flatbed or step deck, while taller or heavier equipment often needs a lowboy or RGN. An RGN's detachable front lets many self-propelled excavators, dozers, and loaders drive onto its lower deck, while other configurations may need ramps, a forklift, or a crane. A1's heavy haul service covers transport for loads that need specialized trailer and routing arrangements.
