Machinery Transport without the Second-Guessing
We don’t just load your gear—we look after it. Machinery transport in Maryborough often involves more than just shifting a unit from A to B. We’re talking awkward access, unsealed roads, oversized attachments and machines that can’t drive themselves. We’ve moved equipment from remote blocks, tight industrial yards and everything in between.
What makes it work is our prep. Before we turn a wheel, we ask the right questions—machine size, pickup access, clearance issues, and drop-off location. That way, we send the right truck and crew every time.
We use ramps, winches and heavy-duty strapping systems to get your equipment loaded smoothly and secured properly. It doesn’t matter if it’s brand new or has been in the weather for a decade—it gets treated with the same level of care.
You’ll get honest advice, upfront timing and zero guesswork. If you’ve got a piece of gear that needs shifting across Maryborough, we’re ready to get it sorted.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of machinery can be transported on a tilt tray?
Tilt tray trucks are commonly used to transport machinery such as bobcats, mini excavators, forklifts, scissor lifts, ride-on mowers, trenchers and similar compact to mid-sized equipment. They’re also suitable for agricultural machines, like small tractors or ploughs.
If the machine fits the tray and weighs under the truck’s legal capacity (usually up to 24 tonnes), it can be moved safely. Always provide the size and weight when booking.
Does the machine need to be working to be transported?
No. One of the benefits of using a tilt tray is the ability to move non-operational or broken-down equipment. The machine can be winched onto the truck, even if it won’t start or roll.
If it’s completely immobile or has missing parts, the operator may use skates, blocks or assistive gear to help load it safely. It’s important to share these details beforehand to ensure proper preparation.
What do I need to do before machinery transport?
Clear the area around the machine and check for any access restrictions. Remove loose parts or attachments if they aren’t secured properly. If the machine has fluids that might leak (like oil or fuel), it’s good practice to contain or drain them to avoid spills.
Also, check the overall dimensions, especially height and width, and share those with your transport provider so the right truck is allocated for your job.
