Shipping A Header

Header Transport Services

Headers are grain harvesting equipment. From the early twentieth century until the advent of the grain combine in the United States and Canada, it was common wheat harvesting equipment.

Although a header might weigh up to 4 tons, it has been reported that larger and bulkier headers are available. Shipping firms are often hired for heavy duty header transports.

It can cost anywhere from $1.00 to $5.00 per mile to transport headers, depending on the route, the type of vehicle, and the time needed to transport them.

Cost Shipping Factors for Header

Costs associated with header hauling are influenced by a variety of factors. Final estimates are based on factors such as how quickly the item needs to be delivered, the distance between the origin and destination points, and the type of heavy equipment being transported.

Transportation Speed

Depending on when you need the equipment, shipping fees may vary. The faster the delivery, the higher the freight charges. In most cases, you will be charged the standard rate or even less if you wait. It will take additional money and effort on the part of the company to make sure your shipment remains on schedule.

Transportation Distance

It is much more expensive to send headers across the country than it is to send them locally or to another state. When delivering a small distance, shipping costs more per mile than popular belief would suggest. When hauling a header short distances, the overall cost is cheaper, but the cost per mile is higher.

Transportation Method

Depending on the kind of transport that you choose, the cost of heavy equipment transportation can differ substantially. We pass on the differences in price between various modes of transportation to you. A more expensive mode of transportation will cost you more. Land, sea, and air travel are all available to you among others.

What to Look for in a Heavy Equipment Shipping Company

There are several heavy equipment shipping companies that can ship your header. The best one for you depends on your requirements. There is one that will definitely suit you perfectly.

Always do your research before choosing a shipping company. Performing this search correctly will provide you with all of the information you need, including customer reviews. It is helpful to see what others think about a company.

If you are considering using a shipping company, make sure it is licensed. Transportation licensing and regulations are under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Transportation.

Preparing Your Header for Shipping

  • Make sure your header is clutter-free.
  • It is also critical to ensure that your equipment is appropriately insured.
  • Before being transported, a header must be clean and in excellent operating order. Before it can be transported, the header may need to be examined by a mechanic.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
