Heavy equipment is a crucial aid in completing many types of site work, from excavating to lot clearing. But getting equipment into place is a challenge without the equipment and expertise of an equipment moving contractor. 

Gillum Brothers Excavating, based in Chillicothe, OH, is known as one of southern Ohio’s finest site work contractors. They also offer their expertise in equipment moving, and they explain why it’s better to hire a professional for this job than trying it on your own.

Why to Hire a Contractor for Equipment Moving

Tools

Just as the equipment you intend to move is necessary for you to complete your work, the proper trucks and trailers are required to move it safely and efficiently. If you don’t have the right tools on hand, it is difficult and dangerous to attempt this task. Companies that regularly transport their own site work equipment from place to place have the machinery available to make equipment moving much simpler.

Personnel

It can also be useful to have a staff with expertise in equipment moving to handle the job. Experienced contractors keep licensed operators on hand to get your equipment to its destination safely.

Documentation & Permitting

Moving heavy equipment on the roadways is subject to regulations and may require particular permits in many jurisdictions. A professional mover with experience in your area may be able to streamline any clerical processes required to move your equipment in accordance with the law.

Rather than renting vehicles, hiring personnel, and wading through paperwork on your own, it is more cost-effective and less time-consuming to hire an outside contractor to handle equipment moving.
