What is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)?

A battery energy storage system is an essential element in energy transition. It uses large-scale, rechargeable battery banks to store energy for dispatch later. It can store both grid energy, and renewable sources like solar and wind.

The battery energy storage system charges when energy is easily available, and then discharges during peak demand or outages. Essentially, it’s a power bank that then returns the stored energy on demand.

BESS units stabilize power grids, provide backup power when necessary, and can handle high energy demands.

BESS uses include:

  • Grid stability & support
  • Industrial power stabilization
  • Residential solar storage

BESS installation scales include:

  • Residential
  • Commercial and industrial
  • Community
  • Utility
  • Grid
  • Off-grid
  • Remote

No matter the type of battery energy storage system or where you need it delivered, we have the tools and expertise to transport it safely. Let’s get started with your free, no-obligation quote now!

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Transport FAQs

How are BESS units secured during transport?

BESS units are secured using engineered tie-down methods, heavy-duty chains or straps, corner protection, and load-specific securement plans. Proper securement is essential to prevent shifting, battery damage, or internal component stress.

Are BESS units considered hazardous materials during transport?

Yes, most BESS units are classified as hazardous materials due to the lithium-ion batteries they contain. This requires hazmat-certified drivers, proper placarding, compliant documentation, and adherence to federal and state hazmat transport regulations.

What type of trailer is used to haul BESS units?

BESS units are typically transported using step-deck trailers, RGN trailers, or specialized flatbeds, depending on the unit’s height, weight, and center of gravity. The trailer selection is critical to ensure clearance compliance and load stability.

Do BESS transports require oversize or overweight permits?

In many cases, yes. BESS units often exceed standard legal limits for weight, height, or width. Oversize and/or overweight permits are obtained based on the unit’s dimensions, axle weight distribution, and the states traveled through.

Can BESS units be transported to remote or undeveloped job sites?

Yes, but site access must be evaluated in advance. Narrow access roads, soft ground, tight turns, or limited staging areas can require additional planning, specialized equipment, or alternate delivery strategies to safely place the unit on site.
