Bulk & Heavy Equipment Transport

FPE provides support for moving bulk freight and oversized equipment between barge and truck networks. Our Mission site is designed to handle large, high-weight loads.

Why Use FPE for Bulk & Heavy Equipment?

Moving oversized or high-weight freight requires equipment that can handle the load. FPE provides the space, access and handling capability to move large equipment directly by barge and land based transfers.

When large machinery or high weight freight needs to move, FPE will manage every step safely, connecting barge and truck to keep projects and equipment moving and on schedule.

Barge ↔ Highway Transfers
