FAQs
What types of vehicles or machinery can be transported?
Heavy vehicle transport services can accommodate a wide range of machinery and equipment, including excavators, tractors, bulldozers, loaders, rollers, graders and skid steers. Other transportable items might include industrial generators, water tanks, site sheds and oversized building materials. The key is having the right trailers, tie-down equipment and permits (if required) to move these items safely and legally.
How do I prepare my machinery for transport?
Before transport, machinery should be cleaned of dirt and debris (especially if moving across regions), all loose or detachable parts should be secured or removed, and fluids like fuel or oil should be checked and topped off or drained depending on transport requirements. If possible, provide ramps or clear access for loading and inform the transport provider of any mechanical issues or special handling instructions in advance.
Do I need a permit to transport heavy equipment on public roads?
It depends on the weight, dimensions and route of the transport. Standard-sized machinery may not need a permit, but oversize or overmass loads typically require special permits issued by road authorities. These ensure that bridges, road conditions and safety regulations are properly assessed before transport. A professional transport provider will usually manage permits and route planning on your behalf.
