From satellites and engine components to terminal security systems and data centers, as well as precision assemblies, Legacy supports aerospace and aviation shipments with equipment built for sensitive, high-value products.
Aerospace and aviation shipments often include oversized, irregular, or precision-built components that require careful handling and specialized equipment. These supply chains face conditions general carriers are not equipped to manage:
Irregular dimensions and weight that require trailers suited for large or non-standard components.
Sensitive assemblies that need controlled handling to prevent damage during loading, transit, or delivery.
Airport and aviation facility requirements that restrict access to security cleared personnel and approved carriers.
High-value products where delays can interrupt manufacturing or maintenance schedules.
With Legacy, critical aerospace and aviation components arrive where and when they’re needed—safe, secure, and on time.
Flat-floor, high cube, side-door , liftgate and climate controlled trailers, to flatbeds and Conestogas allow Legacy to match each aerospace shipment with the right equipment for its size, shape, and sensitivity.
Trained teams use controlled handling methods and protective materials to safeguard avionics, engine components, terminal security systems and data centers, and other precision assemblies.
Legacy is certified to handle hazardous materials, supporting aerospace shipments that include lithium batteries, pressurized units, and other regulated components.

Aerospace Satellite Manufacturer
Satellite payloads, fuselage panels, and propulsion hardware rarely fit standard transport dimensions. Legacy provides custom-designed crating and packaging to stabilize and secure components sensitive shipments.
From one-off satellite prototypes to multi-phase production programs, Legacy scales to meet your needs. As an asset-based carrier, our specialized fleet provides flexibility to support changing timelines or varying shipment sizes as needs evolve.
Aerospace shipments often involve specialized handling needs, timing constraints, or multiple stakeholders. Legacy provides a single coordinator to manage routing, scheduling, and communication so the shipment stays organized from start to finish.
Because Legacy drivers are TSA-certified, we can deliver aerospace shipments directly into secure air cargo environments when needed, supporting time-sensitive handoffs.
Aerospace and aviation shipments often require several coordinated services, especially when components have nonstandard shapes or handling requirements. Legacy brings these steps together by integrating transportation, crating, warehousing, and rigging into one coordinated plan.
Instead of managing several providers, clients work with a single Legacy coordinator who handles timing, communication, and preparation so each stage aligns smoothly. This approach helps reduce the risks that come with separate vendors managing different parts of the same shipment.
Legacy’s coordinators manage the process for aerospace and aviation shipments, aligning pickup and delivery times with the requirements of each facility involved. Clients receive dependable timelines and a single point of contact, helping to reduce the confusion that can occur when multiple teams or locations are operating on tight schedules.
Legacy uses documented quality processes to support aerospace and aviation shipments that require dependable planning and careful delivery. Legacy is also authorized to handle select hazardous materials, including items such as lithium batteries or pressurized units, when they are part of an aerospace shipment.
