San Diego Heavy Haul & Crane Services Overview

SDHHC specializes in providing heavy lifting, transportation, and logistical solutions for a diverse range of industries. We understand our type of services are indispensable for projects requiring the movement of oversized, overweight, or specialized cargo, as well as for tasks that necessitate vertical lifting and precise placement of heavy objects. We combine the power of a modern fleet with the versatility of advanced crane technology to offer integrated, safe, and efficient services.

Core Services

The primary offerings of San Diego Heavy Haul & Crane encompass two main categories:

1. Trucking and Hauling Services

This segment focuses on the transportation of goods, equipment, and materials, often involving specialized requirements:

· Heavy Haul Transportation: Designed for moving exceptionally heavy or large loads that exceed standard road limits. This includes industrial machinery, construction equipment, modular buildings, and large components. It requires specialized trailers (e.g., multi-axle, lowboy, extendable) and often involves route surveys and escorts.

· Oversized Load Transportation: Similar to heavy haul but specifically for items that are wider, taller, or longer than conventional transport regulations allow. This often necessitates special permits and careful planning to navigate routes safely.

· Specialized Transport: Tailored solutions for unique cargo, such as sensitive equipment, hazardous materials (with proper certifications), or items requiring specific environmental controls during transit.

· Standard Freight Hauling: While specializing in heavy and oversized loads, many companies also offer general freight services for standard-sized cargo, providing a complete transportation solution.

· Permitting and Route Planning: Expert assistance in obtaining necessary state and federal permits for oversized and overweight loads, along with meticulous route planning to ensure safe and compliant transit.

2. Crane Services

Crane operations involve the lifting, rigging, and placement of heavy objects, crucial for construction, industrial, and infrastructure projects:

· Mobile Crane Rental & Operation: Providing a range of mobile cranes (e.g., all-terrain, rough-terrain, truck-mounted, hydraulic) with certified operators. These are highly versatile for various job sites.

· Rigging Services: The critical process of preparing loads for lifting, including selecting and attaching appropriate slings, shackles, and other rigging hardware, ensuring the load is balanced and secure. Experienced riggers are essential for safe and efficient lifts.

· Heavy Lifting & Hoisting: Executing complex lifts of machinery, structural components, HVAC units, transformers, and other heavy items onto or off foundations, rooftops, marine vessels, or elevated positions.

· Specialized Lifts: Handling unique or challenging lifting scenarios, such as lifts in confined spaces, tandem lifts (using multiple cranes), or precision placement requiring minimal tolerances.

· Crane Selection & Planning: Assisting clients in choosing the correct crane type and capacity for a specific job, conducting site assessments, and developing detailed lift plans to ensure safety and efficiency.
