That is a hard question to answer as it depends on the distance you need it moved and the roads you have to use. They move whole houses down the road with proper routing and escorts. All interstate roads have a weight limit of 80,000 lbs minimum but even this gets thrown out the window with over weight permits. Bridges are the main liminting factor in moving heavy equiptment. To move large equiptment it is taken apart. I worked for a crane company that had a 1000 ton crane that took about 30 trucks to get it down the road. To move large distances they usually haul on a train as they can handle much more weight. Then they need to use a truck just to haul to and from the train yard.
