Long, Wide, and Heavy at the Same Time

A wind blade can run past 200 feet. A nacelle can weigh over 150,000 pounds. A tower section is wider than a lane. Renewable freight breaks every rule at once, and it usually has to reach a site at the end of a county road that was built for a tractor.

Book Freight arranges freight for wind, solar, and battery storage projects — component manufacturers, EPC contractors, developers, and the equipment suppliers feeding them. The work happens before the truck moves: route surveys, permits, escorts, and a delivery sequence that matches the crane schedule instead of fighting it.

What We Move

Wind Blades — Among the hardest freight moving on American roads. Length past 200’, specialized trailers, route surveys, escorts, and states that will tell you no. Planned months out, not days.
Nacelles & Hubs — Extreme weight in a compact package. Multi-axle transport, overweight permits, and bridge analysis on the route before anything moves.
Tower Sections — Wide, heavy, and repetitive — the same move, dozens of times, on a schedule that has to hold.
Solar Panels & Modules — High-volume van and flatbed freight to utility-scale sites. The freight itself is simple; the site access and the delivery sequence are not.
Racking & Mounting Systems — Steel racking, torque tubes, piles, and mounting hardware. Flatbed volume freight, staged to installation sequence.
Inverters & Power Electronics — Central and string inverters, skids, and power conversion equipment. High value, damage-sensitive, frequently oversize.
Battery Energy Storage (BESS) — Containerized battery systems and modules. Heavy, often oversize, and regulated as Class 9 lithium under DOT.
Site & Construction Equipment — Cranes, pile drivers, and construction equipment moving to and from renewable sites.

How We Handle Renewable Freight

Route engineering comes before a rate. On a blade or a nacelle, the route is the job. Bridge capacity, turning radius, overhead clearance, and state restrictions get worked before anyone quotes a number, because a number quoted without them is fiction.
Permits, escorts, and curfews planned months out. Superload permits take time. States say no. Travel windows close. Renewable freight is planned on a calendar, not on a phone call the day before.
Site access is surveyed, not assumed. Utility-scale sites are frequently at the end of a road that was never built for this. Whether the truck can physically turn into the site is a question that has to be answered before the truck leaves.
Delivery is sequenced to the crane. A crane on standby is the most expensive thing on a wind site. Components arrive in install order, staged against the erection schedule — not dumped on site to be sorted out later.
Battery systems go to carriers verified for Class 9. Containerized BESS and lithium modules are regulated. Hazmat on the authority, endorsement on the license, documentation confirmed before pickup.
High-value components go to vetted carriers only. A damaged inverter or a dropped nacelle is not a freight claim, it’s a project delay. Carriers are vetted for equipment, insurance, and experience with the component before we tender it.

Sectors We Serve

Wind component manufacturers — blades, nacelles, hubs, and tower sections
Solar developers and EPC contractors — panels, racking, and inverters to site
Battery storage developers — containerized BESS and module delivery
Renewable EPC and construction contractors — equipment and materials to site
Equipment suppliers and distributors — outbound freight to projects nationwide
Repowering and O&M contractors — replacement components to operating sites

Site access confirmed before the truck is dispatched
Delivery sequenced to the crane schedule, not to the carrier’s convenience
Carriers vetted for the specific component, not just for a truck
One point of contact from a van of panels to a permitted superload

Renewable Energy Freight FAQ

Can you move wind blades?

Yes, and it’s planned on a calendar rather than a phone call. Blades run past 200 feet and require specialized trailers, full route surveys, superload permits, escorts, and in some states a flat no. Bring us the project early — months out, not weeks — and we’ll tell you honestly what’s routable and what isn’t.

How far in advance do you need a superload booked?

As early as you can. Superload permits take real time to issue, states have travel curfews and seasonal restrictions, and bridge analysis on a heavy route isn’t a same-week exercise. The projects that go smoothly are the ones where the freight planning started when the crane schedule did.

Do you handle battery energy storage systems?

Yes. Containerized BESS and lithium modules fall under DOT Class 9, so the carrier needs hazmat on the authority and the driver needs the endorsement — both verified before we tender. Containers are also frequently oversize or overweight, which means permits on top of the hazmat piece.

Can you sequence deliveries to our erection schedule?

Yes. A crane on standby is the most expensive thing on a site, so components arrive in install order staged against the erection schedule rather than getting dumped on site to be sorted out later. Give us the schedule and we’ll build the delivery plan around it.

What if the site road can’t take the truck?

Then we need to know before the truck leaves, not when it’s stuck at the entrance. Utility-scale sites are often at the end of a road that was never built for this. Site access — turning radius, road surface, overhead clearance — is surveyed as part of the plan.

Do you also move transformers and substation equipment?

Yes, but that’s a different operation — transformers, switchgear, and transmission equipment run through our transformer and substation freight side. This page covers wind, solar, and storage components.
