Backhoe Transport Services — Southeast Backhoe Hauling
Safe, reliable, and fully insured backhoe shipping across the United States. All makes, models, and configurations — standard backhoe loaders, extendahoes, and 4WD machines.
Professional Backhoe Transport You Can Count On
The backhoe loader is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment on any job site — capable of digging, loading, grading, and lifting all in one machine. But that versatility comes with a unique transport challenge: backhoes are longer than most compact equipment, have two working ends that need to be properly positioned, and their rubber tires require careful loading to avoid damage.
At ReBuy Equipment, we understand the nuances of backhoe transport. We make sure your machine is properly configured for travel — boom tucked, bucket secured, stabilizers up — and matched to the right trailer for a safe, damage-free delivery. Whether you're moving a backhoe between job sites, shipping one home from an auction, or relocating a fleet of machines, we handle every detail from pickup to drop-off.
We serve utility contractors, municipal departments, landscapers, excavation companies, equipment dealers, and rental operations throughout the continental United States.
Our Backhoe Transport & Hauling Services
We offer flexible backhoe shipping solutions for single machines, multiple units, and everything in between.
Flatbed & Step Deck Transport
Most backhoe loaders ship on a standard flatbed or step deck trailer. Their rubber tires and manageable weight make them well-suited for these trailer types, and their dimensions typically fall within standard legal limits — keeping costs competitive.
Multi-Unit & Fleet Transport
Moving multiple backhoes or a mixed load of compact equipment? We can consolidate machines onto a single trailer where dimensions allow, reducing your per-unit cost. Great for dealers, rental fleets, and contractors with multiple machines to move.
Job Site to Job Site Hauling
Need your backhoe at a different site fast? We offer flexible pickup scheduling and short-notice availability to minimize downtime and keep your projects moving forward without interruption.

Why Choose ReBuy Equipment for Backhoe Transport?

All backhoe transport is fully insured and DOT compliant. Your machine is protected from the moment it's loaded until it arrives safely at its destination — no exceptions.
Competitive Rates
Backhoes are one of the more cost-effective pieces of equipment to transport — their standard dimensions mean permits are rarely required, keeping costs down. We offer transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions About Backhoe Transport
How much does it cost to transport a backhoe?
Backhoe transport is generally very affordable compared to larger heavy equipment. Short-distance hauls (under 200 miles) typically start around $300–$600, while long-distance cross-country shipments usually range from $1,000 to $2,500 depending on the machine and route. Because most backhoes fall within standard legal dimensions, oversize permits are rarely required — keeping costs lower than many other equipment types. Contact us for an exact quote.
What type of trailer is used to transport a backhoe?
Most backhoe loaders ship on a standard flatbed or step deck trailer. Their rubber tires, manageable weight, and dimensions typically make them compatible with these common trailer types without requiring a lowboy. In some cases, two backhoes can be loaded onto a single trailer to reduce shipping costs.
How is the backhoe positioned for transport?
The backhoe is typically loaded with the rear digging arm curled and tucked, the front bucket lowered to the deck or resting position, and the stabilizer legs raised and locked. This minimizes overall height and length and keeps the machine stable during transport. Our drivers are experienced in proper backhoe configuration for safe transit.
Do I need oversize permits to transport a backhoe?
In most cases, no. Standard backhoe loaders fall within legal width and weight limits and don't require oversize permits. Extended boom (extendahoe) configurations or machines with large specialty attachments may occasionally push limits — we assess this during the quoting process and handle any required permitting.
How quickly can you pick up my backhoe?
Because most backhoes don't require special permits, we can often arrange pickup within 1–3 business days. For urgent or time-sensitive moves, call us directly and we'll do our best to expedite your shipment.
Is my backhoe insured during transport?
Yes. All equipment transported through ReBuy Equipment is covered by carrier liability insurance from pickup to delivery. If you'd like to discuss additional coverage for a higher-value machine, just let us know during the quoting process.
Can you transport a backhoe that isn't running?
Yes. Non-operational backhoes can still be transported using loading ramps and winches. Just let us know upfront that the machine is inoperable so our driver arrives prepared with the right equipment to load it safely.
