Don’t Risk It—Move It Right
Transporting heavy machinery isn’t just about having a big enough truck—it’s about doing it legally and safely. There are strict rules around load weight, axle pressure, tie-down points and even route planning. Get it wrong, and you’re risking damaged gear, fines or worse. That’s why it pays to leave it to the pros.
We know what machinery needs in transit, how to secure it properly and how to move it without causing unnecessary wear or damage. Our drivers are licensed, our fleet is compliant, and our loading processes are designed to prevent costly setbacks. Whether you’re relocating gear for a job site, delivering to a client or picking up something second-hand, we’ll handle the logistics so you don’t have to.
We do this every day, and we have the trucks, training and experience to do it properly.
How do you safely secure machinery during transport?
Machinery is secured using heavy-duty chains, straps, load binders and anchor points designed for industrial loads. The machine’s weight, shape and centre of gravity are considered to prevent shifting or tipping during transport. Operators also check tyre pressure (if applicable), stabilise any movable arms or attachments, and use wheel chocks or skids if needed. Properly securing the load is critical for safety—not just for the driver, but for everyone on the road. It's all done in line with national load restraint guidelines.
Is a permit needed to transport heavy equipment?
A permit may be required depending on the equipment's dimensions, weight and the roads being used. Standard loads under legal limits (usually around 2.5m wide and 4.3m high) don’t require special permits. However, oversize or overmass equipment may need a permit issued by state or local road authorities. These permits often specify travel times, escort vehicles or restricted routes. Your transport provider should assess this in advance and organise the appropriate documentation to keep the job legal and smooth.
What are the safety requirements for moving machinery?
Key safety requirements include using properly rated tow vehicles, load restraints that meet Australian Standards, and trained operators who understand the machinery being moved. Machines must be inspected for leaks or hazards before transport, and attachments should be secured or removed. Clear communication between site staff and drivers is essential, especially when loading on uneven terrain. PPE should be worn during loading, and transport routes should avoid risks like low bridges, tight corners or unstable ground. It’s all about control, compliance and common sense.
