Machinery and plant transport in Melbourne
Forklifts, plant and equipment, moved between yards and sites on the right trailer.
Plant and machinery on the move
We move machinery and plant between hire yards, depots, workshops and construction sites across Melbourne: forklifts, small excavators and other tracked or wheeled plant, generators, compressors, attachments and workshop machinery. If it fits on the tray, we can move it. We run our own trucks with our own drivers.
Which truck
Wheeled and tracked plant usually goes on a drop deck low loader, which keeps the deck low for loading and keeps the overall height down on the road. Machinery that's lifted on and off goes on a flat top semi, with 12.5 m or 13.7 m trailers carrying approx 20 to 24 tonnes. Smaller items that need to be set down without a forklift or site crane can go on a crane truck, which lifts approx 3.5 tonnes within a 4 metre radius, and 500 to 750 kg at 10 metres, on a 7.5 m tray.
Height, width and permits
With plant, the height on the truck often decides whether it's an oversize load. Anything over 2.5 m wide or 4.3 m high once loaded needs a permit check. Permits are checked per load, and where one is needed we plan it before the booking is confirmed.
What to send us
The make and model, or the dimensions and weight, of each machine, whether it drives on or has to be lifted, and the pickup and drop-off addresses. Tell us about site access and delivery windows too. Every truck carries live GPS, and each move comes back with proof-of-delivery photos.
Common questions
Can you move a forklift?
Yes. Forklifts usually go on a drop deck. Send the make and model, or its weight, and we'll confirm the truck.
Do you move excavators?
Yes, within the trailer's limits. Send the make and model, with any attachments, and we'll confirm the trailer and whether a permit is needed.
Do you deliver plant across Melbourne?
Yes. We cover every Melbourne suburb from our Braeside depot, and run out to Geelong too.
How much does machinery transport cost?
Every job is quoted on the machine, distance and any permits. Send the details and we'll come back with a price.
