Machinery & Equipment
Heavy iron, handled by people who've been around heavy iron.
A piece of machinery in the wrong hands becomes a freight claim. We've moved presses, gensets, transformers, and yellow iron since long before the routing software existed — with the equipment, the securement, and the permitting know-how that protects the asset and the timeline.

What you call us for
The heavy-iron freight problems that don't end well in the wrong hands.
Equipment freight has consequences — for the asset, the timeline, and the customer waiting on the other end. These are the situations our heavy-haul dispatchers handle every week.
- Over-dimensional load Step-deck, double-drop, RGN · permits and pilots routed in-house.
- Load damaged in transit Same-day distressed-load recovery · restack, rewrap, document.
- Driver-load vs. roll-on RGN drive-on, crane-loaded flatbed, or forklift drop — your dock or ours.
- Port to inland delivery Transload at our Lilburn dock · container to flatbed in the same shift.
- Time-critical down-machine part Hotshot dispatch · driver moving within 2 hours of confirmation.
- Multi-piece project freight Sequenced delivery with staging at our warehouse between drops.
What we move
Presses, gensets, transformers, yellow iron.

Why Comet for machinery & equipment
The carrier other brokers call when the load gets serious.
Machinery freight has consequences. A misrouted permit costs days; a mis-set chain costs the asset. We've spent five decades earning the calls that other brokers pass on — because the carrier who's done it before is the one who actually finishes the job.
