How much to transport an modular house?

If you dont want to pay for a crane on both ends, better hope and pray that you have easy land to get in and out of or simply dont need one.

Im guessing you were a dry van schmuck when a driver cause this would be common knowledge if you did 4 days as flatbed

 

Not a one day job. Could be as much as 3 days total.

 

Dude - I just gave you the blueprint for WAY less than $20k.

Be nice if you came in with some pictures, satellite images, and a positive attitude.

This forum has thousands of years of experience from many users.

We help if we can. Let us know how it all works out for you , I guess.

 

Ah yes the infamous ONE DAY JOB.
Good luck to you. I'll be watching from the sidelines. Let us know how it turns out for you.

 

Sounds as though you’re thinking more like $2.25 a mile plus permits / escorts….? Wish you the best of luck.

 

I was waiting for the sticker shock post lol. Even at 20k it's s substantial amount of money. OP is getting a dose of reality here. The crane really bumps it up.

Very little competition in the rigging world and their equipment needs are very pricey these factors contribute heavily to rates. I wonder if OP has ever looked into how much a crane costs?

 

What’s this thing weigh ?

was it manufactured and designed to be lifted and transported on a trailer ?
Does it have runners or joists built under it to support itself on a 8 foot wide trailer ?


I’d start by calling some companies that make and sell modular / manufactured/ mobile homes and ask who transports them and discuss

it’s gonna vary by region and location but the truck is gonna be a minimum of $10 a loaded mile , plus pilot cars and permits etc , maybe more , and the crane is a minimum of $5k on each end , maybe more .
But maybe you can just crib it up and back under it .

might can find someone with a stretchable RGN that can get it low enoigh so it’s not overheight

 

Hauled this mining shield for my cousin who owns a company that caters to the mining industry, it weighed 64,000. I sent him a message to see what the rate was to unload and reload the next week at his shop. Just getting a general idea, I delivered it in Pittsburgh to a mining expedition for him….

 

So $3500 at his shop setting outside, their shop was only 3 miles away and took 1.5 hours to transport and make a lift. Then $10,000 inside the building up in Pittsburgh….

 

At about 1:50 is the inside of the modular.

Weighs about 32,000 lbs.

Did about 12 of these.
