A specialist, not a generalist
We broker two hard lanes — battery energy storage and heavy/oversize — instead of everything. Every carrier in our network is vetted for exactly that freight.
Domestic-land freight brokerage
The brokerage built for battery storage and heavy haul.
We move grid-scale battery energy storage (UN3536) and 43‑ton oversize equipment across the country — permitted, escorted, state-of-charge verified. Transport, crane, and storage as one move.

Why Harris Brokerage
The freight a generalist broker can't quote — handled by a specialist that can.
National brokers move everything. We move two hard things exceptionally well, with the compliance and the carrier network the loads actually require.
Compliance built in
UN3536 state-of-charge, chemistry pre-approval, Class 9 placarding, oversize permits, escorts, and route surveys are handled on every move — not bolted on after.
AI-native speed
Instant lane pricing on live capacity signals returns a same-day quote — the speed of a digital broker with the rigor of a heavy-haul specialist.
End to end
Transport, the 43-ton crane lift, and secured staging are one coordinated handoff — so equipment arrives on the construction schedule, not the freight schedule.
What we broker
Two hard lanes. One compliance-first brokerage.
UN3536 · Class 9 · grid-scale energy storage
BESS Battery Hauling
Brokered transport of battery energy storage systems — cells, modules, racks, and integrated cabinets — under full UN3536 Class 9 dangerous-goods compliance.

Over 80,000 lb · multi-axle · superload
Heavy & Oversize Hauling
Brokered movement of loads that exceed the 80,000 lb interstate limit — transformers, turbines, BESS cabinets, industrial equipment — on permitted, escorted, route-surveyed configurations.

Multi-state permits · bridge & weight analysis
Permitting & Route Survey
The intelligence layer behind every heavy move: jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction permitting, bridge-clearance and road-weight route surveys, and escort planning.

43+ ton lifts · certified rigging
Crane Lifting & Rigging
Step two of the process: certified crane lifting and rigging to place 43+ ton BESS cabinets and heavy modules exactly where the site needs them.

Secured yards · phased deployment
Storage & Staging
Step three: secured storage and staging so equipment arrives on the site schedule, not the freight schedule.
Learn moreThe process
Transport. Crane. Storage.
One coordinated handoff from the origin gateway to the project pad — so a 43-ton cabinet arrives on the construction schedule, not the freight schedule.
01
Transportation
Permitted, escorted, route-surveyed movement of BESS and heavy/oversize freight across domestic land lanes — matched to chemistry-qualified and superload-rated carriers.
02
Crane Lifting
Certified crane and rigging at origin and destination — capacity matched to 43+ ton integrated units, with engineered lift plans for safe placement.
03
Storage
Secured staging yards that sequence equipment into the site on the construction schedule — phased, inventoried, and ready for the final lift.
The platform
A digital broker's speed. A specialist's rigor.
The instant quoting and live capacity matching of a modern platform — wrapped around the compliance automation that BESS and heavy-haul freight actually require.
Instant lane pricing
ML pricing on live capacity returns a committed-range estimate the moment you submit a lane — most quotes same business day.
Real-time capacity matching
Each load is matched to a carrier qualified for that exact freight: chemistry-pre-approved for BESS, superload-rated for oversize.
Compliance automation
SoC verification, placarding, SP 389 securement, permit acquisition, and escort planning are generated and tracked per shipment.
Exception-driven visibility
Track-and-trace with human escalation only when a route, permit, or window needs a decision — no noise, no blind spots.
Compliance, built in
We know the rules before you ask.
Battery energy storage and oversize freight live or die on compliance. Every move is planned against the current UN3536 rules and FMCSA broker requirements — here's what we manage on each shipment.
- UN3536 lithium energy-storage classification + ≤30% state-of-charge verification
- Battery-chemistry carrier pre-approval (LFP · NMC · sodium-ion)
- Class 9 placarding + SP 389 securement + emergency response
- Oversize/overweight permits across every state on the route
- Pilot-car and police escort coordination
- Engineered route survey for height, weight, and bridge clearance
