Light Equipment Hauling Across Columbus and Nearby Counties

We move items that fit on a light-duty flatbed and fall within its weight rating: riding mowers, compact tractors, golf carts, UTVs, utility trailers, generators, and small skid steers or mini excavators that are light enough. The dispatcher confirms the weight before a truck goes out, and heavier items go to a partner.

The price reflects the distance to the pickup, the length of the haul, the time of day and how easy the machine is to reach and secure. The dispatcher quotes the full job before it is scheduled. Our rates page covers how each part of the charge is figured.

We ask for the make, model and any attachments, then check the operating weight against the carrier's rating. Buckets, loaders, backhoe attachments and ballast all add weight. If you have the owner's manual or a spec sheet, it helps to have it nearby when you call.

Small skid steers and compact track loaders can ride on our flatbeds if their weight with the bucket falls within the rating. Many full-size models are too heavy for a light-duty carrier. Give the dispatcher the model number, and you'll get a clear yes or a referral on the first call.

Yes. Golf carts load easily, whether they run or not. We move them between homes, lake lots, dealers, battery shops and events. Tell the dispatcher if the cart is lifted, has oversized tires or carries a rear seat kit, and whether it is gas or electric.

Yes. The winch pulls it up the deck, so it doesn't need to run. We do need the brakes released and the steering free, or at least a way to roll it. If the machine is stuck in the mud or in a shed, let the dispatcher know.

Yes, if the truck can get close on firm ground. Carriers are heavy and can sink into wet soil, so the driver may set the deck down on a lane or gravel pad. If needed, drive or drag the machine to a solid spot before we arrive.

Yes. Small utility trailers, landscape trailers and lightweight enclosed trailers can ride on the deck, which is helpful when the axle, bearings or hitch is damaged. Tell the dispatcher the trailer's length and whether it is loaded, since cargo counts against the weight rating.

Timing depends on the distance to the pickup, traffic and what else is on the schedule. For planned moves, booking a day or two ahead makes it easier to set a window. If it is urgent, the dispatcher can give a live estimate of when a truck can get there.

Yes. The driver uses the machine's designated tie-down points where it has them, lowers buckets and mower decks to the bed, and secures anything that could shift. For machines without marked points, the driver chooses solid frame members and avoids hoses and wiring.

Yes. We can bring a machine to a construction site or a property where work is happening, as long as there is room for the carrier to set its deck down. Give the dispatcher a site contact and any access details like gate codes.

Yes. ATVs and UTVs are among the easiest loads, whether they are headed to a dealer for service, to a hunting property or home from a seller. They drive or winch up the deck and are strapped at the frame or wheels. Mention any winch, plow blade or roof that changes the size.

Yes. Winter is a common time to take mowers and carts in for service before spring. Snow and ice change how a driver approaches a yard or lane, so let the dispatcher know about unplowed drives. Snow blower tractors and machines with plow attachments are fine if they fit the rating.

It helps, especially for a machine with quirks in how it starts or steers. If you can't be there, leave the key where the driver can find it and tell the dispatcher about anything unusual. The machine is photographed when it is loaded.
