Frequently Asked Questions
How do I transport heavy machinery safely?
Heavy machinery transport should always be handled by professionals using the right equipment, like tilt trays or low loaders. These vehicles are designed to handle large, uneven loads and come with specialised tie-down systems. Before transport, the machine is often secured with chains or ratchet straps, and weight is evenly distributed to prevent shifting. Proper loading, balancing and route planning are key to a safe trip.
What types of machinery can be transported on a tilt tray?
Tilt trays are ideal for compact and mid-sized machinery like bobcats, skid steers, scissor lifts, small excavators, forklifts, trenchers and even agricultural equipment like ride-on mowers and tractors. Most tilt trays handle loads up to 24 tonnes, but always check the specs of the vehicle and equipment in question. Larger machines may require different gear, such as a float or drop deck.
Do I need to prepare my machinery before transport?
Yes. Start by disconnecting power sources and securing any loose parts like buckets, arms or accessories. Ensure fuel and oil caps are sealed to avoid leaks. Some machinery should be cleaned to meet biosecurity standards if moving between certain areas. Make sure the pickup and drop-off points are accessible and level—this speeds up loading and reduces the risk of accidents.
Job Ready
Machinery Transport with Less Hassle
Moving machinery shouldn’t mean downtime, stress or damage. We make it easy by working around your jobsite, not the other way around. Whether you’re moving one piece or doing a full site relocation, we’ll talk through the details, check the specs and bring the gear that fits.
Our experience working with builders, tradies and civil crews means we understand the risks—tight clearances, shifting loads and time-sensitive handovers. That’s why we double-check every detail and keep you in the loop from pickup to drop-off.
Need to move a forklift from the depot to the site? Hauling an excavator to a new development? We’ve got it covered. You’ll know exactly what to expect, with no surprise charges or last-minute delays.
When you’ve got tonnes of steel that needs shifting, trust someone who knows how to do it without making a mess of your schedule.
