An aircraft is never ordinary cargo

The road plan begins after the flight plan ends.

Moving an aircraft over the highway means thinking in transport dimensions rather than flying dimensions. The configuration presented at pickup, separated components, loading support, access, ground clearance and destination handling all shape the job.

Showroom Transport coordinates the road movement. Aircraft maintenance, disassembly, preservation, reassembly and return-to-service work remain with the owner and appropriately qualified aviation personnel.

The measurements that matter

Quote the aircraft as it will travel.

Published wingspan and aircraft specifications help identify the model, but the road move depends on the prepared dimensions. We need maximum transport length, width and height, estimated weight, the number of pieces and the handling requirements for each major component.

  • Exact road-ready envelope
  • Component and support inventory
  • Rolling or non-rolling condition
  • Loading space at both locations
  • Owner-arranged aviation preparation

Why aircraft travel by ground

Moves that cannot be solved with a flight.

Purchase & Sale

An aircraft, project or kit changes owners and needs transportation before it can fly.

Restoration

A stored, incomplete or non-airworthy airframe needs delivery to a specialist shop.

Relocation

A home, hangar, workshop, museum or airport move requires coordinated ground delivery.

Kit Delivery

Crates, sub-kits, wings and fuselage assemblies need organized transportation to a builder.

Four practical stages
