Enter Logi Transports, a company that has carved a niche for itself in the specialized field of heavy equipment transport across this diverse state.
The Challenge of Utah’s Terrain
Utah’s geography presents unique challenges for logistics companies. From the snowy passes of the Wasatch Range to the flat, open expanses of the Bonneville Salt Flats, each region requires a tailored approach to transportation. Logi Transports has mastered these challenges, employing a fleet that includes RGNs, Step Decks, and Gooseneck trailers, each designed for specific types of heavy equipment and terrain conditions.
Services Offered by Logi Transports
- Heavy Equipment Transport: Whether it’s construction machinery, agricultural equipment, or industrial components, Logi Transports ensures safe and timely delivery.
