Whether it’s a loaded 20-footer or a mobile shed, we’ve got the right equipment to move it without delays or damage. Our team handles all sorts of gear—excavators, ride-ons, even small tractors—up to 24 tonnes, and we’ve worked with enough rural access to know exactly what to ask before turning up.

Experienced in Machinery & Container Transport
Every job in Childers brings its own challenges—long driveways, unsealed roads, sloped yards or awkward fences. That’s why our machinery and container transport service focuses on preparation.
Before we hit the road, we check access, site conditions, gear specs and more. We’ll make sure the right tilt tray turns up with the right winch, straps and space to handle the job properly.
We move equipment that can’t be driven, containers that won’t roll and assets that aren’t built for rough handling. Our team’s experience means they know what questions to ask, how to line up a load and how to deliver it cleanly and efficiently—no matter the surface or shape.
From paddock pickups to residential drop-offs, we’ve got the practical know-how and the attitude that puts customers at ease. You’ll get accurate timing, proper handling and peace of mind that your gear is in safe hands from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What surface is best for delivering a shipping container?
A flat, firm surface is ideal—gravel, compacted dirt, or a concrete slab. Avoid soft grass, sand or uneven ground, as the weight of the container can cause it to sink or shift.
If the site slopes or is hard to reach, let your transporter know ahead of time. They may recommend repositioning the drop-off spot or bringing extra gear to make the delivery safe and smooth.
Can machinery be moved without being driven onto the truck?
Yes. Machinery that doesn’t start or steer can still be transported using a tilt tray truck. The operator uses a heavy-duty winch to pull the machine into position, even if it's stuck or off-balance. They may use guides, blocks or wheel dollies for additional control. It’s a safe option for damaged or decommissioned gear that can’t move on its own.
Is there a limit to container size or weight for tilt tray transport?
Yes—most tilt trays handle up to 24 tonnes and are built for 10-foot or 20-foot containers. Extra-long units (like 40-footers) or overweight containers may require alternative transport, like a flatbed or float.
When booking, provide full dimensions and an estimate of total weight, including any contents. This helps avoid loading issues or compliance problems on the day.
