The Main Equipment Parts Hauled When Shipping An Aircraft
Airplanes are made up of five main parts. They include:
Also known as the body of an airplane, a fuselage is a hollow tube that holds passengers and/or cargo.
An obvious part of an aircraft, the wings are essential to the flight of an airplane. These are often detached for transport.
Or the tail of an airplane. The two main components are the elevator, which helps with up and down movement, along with the rudder, which steers from left to right. Both components help with the overall stability of an aircraft.
This is the combination of the engine and propeller. These two main components work together for power and thrust.
It includes the wheels and shock absorbers for takeoff and landing of an airplane.
Whether you need to ship an entire airplane or the individual parts, Heavy Haulers is equipped to handle the transport.

Learn How Heavy Haulers Transports Airplanes
Moving an airplane is a task that requires expertise and careful attention to detail. Airplanes are created to have an aerodynamic lift, which makes shipping them overland a challenge. Depending on the size of your aircraft, it may be partially disassembled and loaded on one or more flatbed trailers. The fuel will be drained for safety, and all parts will be carefully cabled down. The oversized loads may be flagged for safety, and an escort convoy may be necessary.
Another option is to disassemble your aircraft further and have it shipped in crates. The crates should travel and be attached to a standard semi-truck rig. This method requires professional aircraft engineers, which some clients may not have. Both of these types of aircraft shipments are available through Heavy Haulers moving across North America.
For overseas aircraft transport, Heavy Haulers provides port-to-port shipment. Your aircraft will arrive at one of our overseas ports, be loaded onto a cargo ship, and sail to the destination port. Once there, your designated representative can pick your shipment up form the cargo master.
An aircraft that travels in a cargo ship is typically a "breakbulk" cargo, which refers to oversized or unusually shaped loads that cannot be transported in regular shipping containers. These shipments cost more than shipping standard goods, as the item(s) occupy more room in the cargo ship's hold and may displace other goods.
