Compactor Transport Services — Southeast Compactor Hauling
Safe, reliable, and fully insured compactor shipping across the United States. All types, makes, and sizes — from plate compactors and trench rollers to large vibratory drum and landfill compactors.
Professional Compactor Transport You Can Count On
Compactors come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and configurations — from small walk-behind plate compactors to massive landfill and soil compactors weighing tens of thousands of pounds. That variety means transport requirements can differ significantly from one machine to the next, and getting it wrong can result in damage, permit violations, or costly delays.
At ReBuy Equipment, we understand the full spectrum of compactor transport. Whether you're shipping a single drum roller between road projects, moving a padfoot compactor from one earthwork site to another, or transporting a large landfill compactor across state lines, we match your machine to the right trailer, handle any required permitting, and deliver it safely to your destination.
We serve road construction companies, paving contractors, earthwork and grading companies, landfill operators, municipalities, and equipment dealers throughout the continental United States.
Our Compactor Transport & Hauling Services
We offer a full range of compactor shipping solutions for every machine type, size, and transport need.
Flatbed, Step Deck & Lowboy Transport
Smaller rollers and compactors often ship on a flatbed or step deck trailer. Large single drum, double drum, and landfill compactors typically require a lowboy. We always match the right trailer to your machine's weight, width, and height.
Oversize Load Permitting
Large vibratory rollers and landfill compactors frequently exceed standard legal width and weight limits. We handle all state oversize and overweight permits, route surveys, and pilot car coordination so your shipment stays fully compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions About Compactor Transport
How much does it cost to transport a compactor?
Compactor transport costs vary widely depending on the machine type, size, weight, distance, and permit requirements. Small double drum asphalt rollers on short hauls may start around $300–$600, while large single drum soil compactors or landfill compactors on long-distance routes can range from $2,000 to $6,000 or more. Contact us for a precise quote based on your specific machine and route.
What type of trailer is used to transport a compactor?
The trailer type depends on the compactor's size and weight. Smaller double drum rollers and asphalt compactors typically ship on a flatbed or step deck trailer. Large single drum vibratory rollers and landfill compactors usually require a lowboy trailer to accommodate their height and weight. We always match the right trailer to your machine's specific dimensions.
Do I need oversize permits to transport a compactor?
It depends on the machine. Smaller asphalt and double drum rollers often fall within standard legal limits and don't require permits. Large vibratory soil compactors and landfill machines frequently exceed legal width and weight thresholds, making oversize permits necessary. We assess permit requirements during the quoting process and handle all filing on your behalf.
Can you transport multiple compactors at once?
Yes. Smaller compactors such as double drum asphalt rollers can often be consolidated onto a single trailer load, significantly reducing the per-unit shipping cost. This is a popular option for paving contractors and rental companies moving multiple machines at once. Let us know how many units you need to move and we'll build the most cost-effective load plan.
How quickly can you pick up my compactor?
For smaller compactors that don't require special permits, we can often arrange pickup within 1–3 business days. Larger machines requiring oversize permits typically need 3–5 business days of lead time. For urgent moves, call us directly and we'll do our best to expedite.
Is my compactor insured during transport?
Yes. All equipment transported through ReBuy Equipment is covered by carrier liability insurance from pickup to delivery. For high-value machines, we recommend discussing additional coverage options during the quoting process to ensure you're fully protected.
Can you transport a compactor that isn't running?
Yes. Non-operational compactors can still be transported using winches and specialized loading equipment. Please let us know upfront that the machine is inoperable so our driver arrives prepared with the right equipment to load it safely.
