Construction Equipment Hauling

Construction Equipment Hauling in Gilbert, AZ

Gilbert is one of the fastest-growing cities in Arizona, and that means construction everywhere — new housing developments south of Williams Field Road, commercial projects along Gilbert Road and Higley, road widening on Val Vista Drive, and infrastructure work around the Loop 202 Santan corridor. All that construction requires heavy equipment, and that equipment needs to get to the job site. Thompson’s Auto Repair & Towing provides construction equipment hauling throughout Gilbert and the East Valley. We have the heavy-duty flatbed trucks and the experience to transport skid steers, mini excavators, scissor lifts, compactors, and other construction machinery safely and on schedule. Over 30 years in business, and we’ve been hauling equipment for Gilbert contractors since before most of these subdivisions existed. Call 480-418-9206.

Why Choose Thompson’s for Construction Equipment Hauling

Moving construction equipment isn’t like towing a car. The loads are heavier, the shapes are awkward, the machinery often can’t be driven on public roads, and the stakes are higher — a piece of equipment that falls off a trailer can kill someone. You need a hauling company that takes it seriously.

Bryan Vivian has been running Thompson’s for over three decades, and construction equipment hauling has always been part of the operation. Gilbert’s growth has only increased the demand. We work with general contractors, excavation companies, landscaping outfits, and individual operators who need equipment moved between job sites, from rental yards, or to and from maintenance facilities.

Here’s what makes Thompson’s the right call for equipment hauling:

  • Heavy-duty trucks. Our flatbeds are rated for the weight of common construction equipment. We match the truck to the load — always.
  • Proper securement. Chains, binders, straps, and tie-down points rated for the equipment weight. We follow FMCSA securement requirements because that’s how it’s done right.
  • Experienced operators. Our drivers know how to load equipment with ramps, how to balance awkward loads, and how to secure machinery that doesn’t have standard tie-down points.
  • Mechanical support. If your equipment has a mechanical issue — engine trouble, hydraulic leak, electrical problem — our auto repair shop can often diagnose and repair it. That’s the Thompson’s advantage: we don’t just haul your equipment, we can fix it too.

How Construction Equipment Hauling Works

Step 1: Call 480-418-9206. Tell us what equipment you need moved, the approximate weight, pickup location, and delivery location. If you can tell us the make and model, even better.

Step 2: We quote the job. Pricing depends on the equipment size, weight, distance, and any special requirements (permits, escort vehicles, time-sensitive delivery). We give you a clear price upfront.

Step 3: Schedule the haul. We work around your project timeline. Need the equipment on site by 6 AM Monday? We’ll make it happen. We coordinate with your site foreman or project manager to ensure smooth delivery.

Step 4: Loading. Our driver loads the equipment using the flatbed ramp. For self-propelled equipment, we can drive it onto the bed. For non-running equipment, we winch it on. Everything gets chained and strapped per FMCSA requirements.

Step 5: Transport and delivery. We haul the equipment to the job site and unload it where you need it. Our driver confirms placement with your team on the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions — Construction Equipment Hauling

What’s the heaviest piece of equipment you can haul?

Our standard flatbed trucks handle most skid steers, mini excavators, and similar equipment. For equipment exceeding our standard capacity, we coordinate with heavy-haul carriers to get the job done. Call 480-418-9206 with the equipment details and we’ll confirm whether our trucks can handle it directly.

Can you haul equipment that doesn’t run?

Yes. We winch non-running equipment onto the flatbed. We’ve loaded plenty of broken-down skid steers, dead generators, and equipment with blown hydraulics. If it doesn’t roll, we drag it on — carefully.

Do you haul equipment on weekends?

Yes. Construction doesn’t always wait for Monday. We’re available 7 days a week. Many contractors schedule weekend hauls to have equipment on site for Monday morning start.

Can Thompson’s repair construction equipment?

We can handle many common mechanical issues — engines, electrical systems, hydraulic line repairs, batteries, and starter/alternator problems. For specialized equipment repairs (hydraulic pump rebuilds, track replacement), we’ll point you to the right specialist. But for getting a dead piece of equipment running again, we’re often the first call.

How far in advance should I schedule equipment hauling?

For planned moves, 48-72 hours notice is ideal. But we understand construction schedules change fast. We accommodate same-day and next-day requests whenever possible. Call us — if we can do it, we will.
