Reliable Gear
Professional Machinery & Container Transport
In a place like Tiaro, no two jobs look the same. We know how to work with steep driveways, long paddocks and tough rural access points. Our machinery and container transport service is built around flexibility—we ask the right questions before we arrive, then show up with the right truck, tools and plan.
Whether your gear’s stuck behind a fence line or the container’s sitting on stumps, we’ve handled it before. It’s not just about shifting something heavy—it’s about protecting your equipment, managing space and doing the job with the least disruption. That’s why we prep before the wheels turn and stay in touch right through to delivery.
We use heavy-duty winches, ramps, soft straps and tie-down points to make sure your cargo gets there in one piece. You won’t get radio silence or vague timings. Just straight-up service and operators who know the area, the roads and the equipment like the back of their hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can containers be moved without forklifts or cranes?
Yes. Containers can be transported and positioned using tilt tray trucks alone—no cranes or forklifts required. The tilt tray lowers at an angle and the container is winched on or off with control. It’s an efficient and safe method, especially for standard 10-foot or 20-foot containers.
Just make sure access is clear and the surface is level or firm enough for unloading. If access is restricted or on an incline, extra planning might be needed to ensure safe placement.
Do I need to empty my container before transport?
It depends on the weight. Most tilt tray trucks can carry up to 24 tonnes, including the weight of the container and contents. If your container is lightly packed, it may be fine to transport as-is. However, it’s best to remove heavy or loose items and secure anything left inside to avoid damage during transit.
Always confirm weight with your transporter to stay within limits. Overloading can delay transport or require a different vehicle.
Can machinery be transported from uneven or remote locations?
Yes, many tilt tray operators are equipped to retrieve machinery from unsealed or uneven areas. The truck's tray can be angled to suit different ground levels, and the winch allows loading without driving the machine. Operators may use extra equipment like skates or ramps to assist.
The key is providing accurate information about the site, access and machine condition when booking. This helps ensure the job runs smoothly and no time is wasted on-site.
