When Equipment Movement Becomes a Project Critical Path
That stressful realization when your project schedule is set, but your essential equipment is miles away - or worse, stuck between sites while crews wait. Every hour costs you labor productivity and delays milestones.
Standard transport services treat your equipment like cargo. We understand it's the heartbeat of your project - expensive, often delicate, and always mission-critical.
At Archer's Towing, we've built our construction plant transport service from the ground up for one purpose: moving your equipment efficiently, safely, and ready to work. We're not just drivers; we're your equipment logistics partners.

Self-Transport vs. Professional Plant Transport
| Consideration | Self-Managed Transport | Archer's Professional Service |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment Safety | Higher risk of damage | Equipment-specific securing protocols |
| Project Timing | Unpredictable delays | Scheduled and guaranteed timelines |
| Hidden Costs | Fuel, driver time, insurance | All-inclusive project pricing |
| Liability | Your responsibility entirely | Comprehensive transport insurance |
| Site Efficiency | Often suboptimal placement | Strategic positioning for immediate use |
| Multi-Site Coordination | Complex and time-consuming | Single-point management and tracking |
We recommend 48-72 hours for standard moves, but we maintain emergency capacity for same-day critical equipment needs. For large fleet moves or complex projects, 1-2 weeks allows for optimal planning.
Transport focuses on planned, strategic moves between sites for operational equipment. Towing typically involves the recovery of broken-down machinery. We provide both, but transport services include much more comprehensive planning and positioning.
