Motor Grader Transport Services — Southeast Grader Hauling
Safe, reliable, and fully insured motor grader shipping across the United States. All makes, models, and sizes — from small utility graders to large mining-class machines.
Professional Motor Grader Transport You Can Count On
Motor graders are long, low, and built for precision — and those same characteristics that make them exceptional at grading roads and finishing surfaces also make them one of the more challenging pieces of equipment to transport. Their extended length, wide moldboard, and low ground clearance require careful trailer selection, precise loading, and in many cases oversize load permits.
At ReBuy Equipment, we have the experience to handle motor grader transport the right way. We manage everything from trailer matching and blade positioning to oversize permitting and pilot car coordination. Whether you're moving a utility grader between county road projects, shipping a mining grader across state lines, or transporting a newly purchased machine from a dealer, our team gets it done safely and on time.
We serve road construction companies, municipalities, county and state highway departments, mining operations, land developers, and equipment dealers throughout the continental United States.
Our Motor Grader Transport & Hauling Services
We offer a full range of motor grader shipping solutions for every machine size and project need.
Lowboy & Step Deck Transport
Motor graders typically require a lowboy or step deck trailer to accommodate their length and low ground clearance. We select the right trailer configuration based on your grader's specific dimensions, weight, and any attachment requirements.
Oversize Load Permitting
Most full-size motor graders exceed standard legal length and width limits. We handle all state oversize and overweight permits, route surveys, and pilot car coordination — keeping your shipment fully compliant from pickup to delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motor Grader Transport
How much does it cost to transport a motor grader?
Motor grader transport costs depend on the machine's size and weight, distance, permit requirements, and current fuel rates. Small utility graders on short hauls may start around $500–$900, while mid-size and large graders on long-distance routes typically range from $2,000 to $6,000. Mining-class graders requiring specialized trailers and multi-state oversize permits can cost significantly more. Contact us for a precise quote based on your specific machine and route.
What type of trailer is used to transport a motor grader?
Most motor graders are transported on a lowboy or step deck trailer. Their extended length and low ground clearance make lowboys the preferred option for full-size machines, as they provide a lower deck height for easier loading and better height compliance. Smaller utility graders may be accommodated on a step deck in some cases.
How is the blade positioned for transport?
The moldboard (blade) is typically angled and lowered to its travel position to minimize overall width and keep the machine within permitted dimensions. The front pushblade, if equipped, is also lowered and locked in the travel position. Our drivers are experienced in proper grader configuration to ensure safe and compliant transport.
Do I need oversize permits to transport a motor grader?
In most cases, yes. Full-size motor graders frequently exceed standard legal length (53 ft) and width (8'6") limits, making oversize permits necessary. Smaller utility graders may fall within legal limits depending on their dimensions. We determine permit requirements during the quoting process and handle all filing and coordination on your behalf.
How far in advance should I book motor grader transport?
We recommend booking at least 4–7 business days in advance for most motor grader moves, as oversize permits often require processing time. For large or multi-state moves, booking 7–10 days out is ideal. That said, we always try to accommodate urgent requests — call us and we'll let you know what's possible.
Is my motor grader insured during transport?
Yes. All equipment transported through ReBuy Equipment is covered by carrier liability insurance from pickup to delivery. For high-value graders, we recommend discussing additional coverage options during the quoting process to ensure you're fully protected.
Can you transport a motor grader that isn't running?
Yes. Non-operational motor graders 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 and we can plan the loading approach accordingly.
