How to Transport Plant & Machinery Safely

Moving plant — diggers, excavators, forklifts and site machinery — is about the right trailer, correct loading and secure transport. Here’s what matters when you need machinery moved.

Choose the right trailer

Weight and dimensions decide the trailer: beavertails for smaller plant, low-loaders for heavier or taller machines. Getting this right avoids delays and keeps the load legal.

Loading and securing

Plant should be loaded by someone experienced — on firm, level ground, with the machine secured to the trailer at the correct points. Poor securing is dangerous and can damage expensive equipment.

Know the weights and route

Overweight or oversized loads need the right vehicle and, sometimes, route planning. A professional operator handles all of this for you.

Use a specialist
