Machinery Towing and Machinery Transport FAQs

How do I move heavy equipment or machinery?

Moving heavy machinery equipment typically involves transporting or towing it via flatbed truck or lowboy trailer. Depending on the distance, route, and regulations, you’ll need to coordinate logistics with a transport company that specialises in heavy equipment. 

What equipment do you need?

To move heavy machinery via road, you may need: 

Transport Trailer: A lowboy or flatbed trailer designed to carry heavy machinery.

Loading Equipment: A forklift or other machinery may be needed to load and unload the excavator.

Safety Equipment: Straps, chains, or other securing mechanisms to safely hold the equipment during transport.

Permits: Depending on the size and weight of the machine you may need special permits for transport, which the transport company can help you secure.

Best Rated Transport can sort all of this out on your behalf. 

What is the cost to move heavy machinery? 

The cost of machinery transport can vary widely based on distance, transport company fees, permits and size of the machine. 

As a rough estimate, for 10-40 tonne you can expect the cost to be around $6-$9 per km + fuel levy of 10-30% (based on the BP Terminal Gate Price). 

Larger machines will also require a permit and pilot car, but we can include all fees as part of the quotes sent to you. 

You can take a look at our General Freight Calculator for details about freight costs. 

Are there any regulations I need to be aware of?

Yes, regulations can vary by state. Some common considerations include weight limits, permits and road restrictions. 

Can Best Rated Transport organise a collection from an auction or supplier? 

Yes we can. We can pick-up and deliver from auctions across Australia as well as from any depot , dealership or supplier of heavy machinery. 

We can also pick up directly from homes, businesses, mine sites, construction sites, road work sites, subdivisions, ports and rural properties.
