What We Move

Machines bought at auction are a regular one. They are usually somewhere inconvenient, often need a jump before they will move under their own power, and always come with a deadline to be off the site.

It does not have to be a machine you hired from us. Bought a digger at auction, need one moved between sites, or have plant sitting somewhere it has to come out of, we will get it shifted.

Tell us what the machine is, where it is and where it is going. The make and model gives us the weight and dimensions in a couple of minutes, and that is most of the quote.

  • Excavators, loaders and dozers
  • Skid steer loaders, posi tracks and wheel loaders
  • Telehandlers, forklifts and access equipment
  • Generators, compactors, lighting towers and site equipment
  • Containers, sheds and site huts

Send The Make And Model

The fastest way to a real quote is the make and model of the machine. We can look up the weight and dimensions from that in a couple of minutes, which is quicker and far more accurate than anyone guessing on the phone.

How We Move A Machine

Four steps, and the first one is where most of the thinking happens. Get the details right at the quote and the day itself is uneventful, which is what you want from a machine move.

Details And Quote

What the machine is, where it is picked up, where it is going, what the access is like at both ends and when you need it there. That gives you a price rather than a range.

Planning And Scheduling

We work out the route, the timing and what has to happen at each site before the truck rolls. Most of the delays on a transport job are avoidable and this is where they get avoided.

Loading And Transit

The machine is loaded, restrained and moved. Tracked and wheeled machines load differently and get tied down differently, and that is handled on the day.

Delivery And Handover

Unloaded where you want it, positioned so it can start work rather than left at the front of the block, and signed off with someone on site if there is someone on site.

Access At Both Ends Decides The Job

A truck carrying a machine is long and heavy and does not reverse into places a ute would. Most transport problems are access problems, and both ends of the trip count.

Tell Us About Both Sites

  • Somewhere firm and level long enough to load and unload, ideally off the road
  • Whether the truck has to reverse in, and how far
  • Overhead power, low branches and anything over the route
  • Soft sand or unsealed track between the road and the machine
  • Gate widths, and whether anything has to be unlocked or opened by someone
  • Whether anyone will be on site, or the machine is simply sitting there

Photos Beat Descriptions

A photo of the machine and a photo of the access at each end answers more than a phone call does. Send them with your enquiry and we will tell you what the job needs before anything is booked.

Getting The Machine Ready

A machine that is ready to load keeps a booked slot from turning into a wasted trip for both of us. None of it takes long, it just has to happen before the truck arrives rather than while it waits.

  • Booms and arms down and pinned
  • Attachments off, or fitted and secured
  • Nothing leaking fuel, oil or hydraulic fluid
  • Anything loose taken out of the cab
  • Keys available, and someone able to open a locked gate
  • Tracks and tyres knocked clean, so the load does not drop sand across the road

The Machines We Move Most Often

These are ours, so if you are hiring the machine as well as moving it, that is one call rather than two. We also move machines we do not own.

Equipment Transport Questions

Yes. A good share of the machines we move belong to someone else: bought at auction, moving between sites, or sitting somewhere it needs to come out of. Tell us the make and model, where it is and where it is going.

From the machine's weight and dimensions, the distance, and the access at both ends. The make and model gives us the first two in a couple of minutes. Photos of the pickup and delivery access give us the third, which is the part that most often changes the price.

It depends on the machine, the distance and what else is booked that day, so call us with your timeframe rather than assuming either way. If it is urgent, say so up front and we will tell you honestly what we can do.

Yes, out into regional Western Australia and to remote and mining sites, not just the Perth metro. Distance and road conditions go into the quote, so give us both locations up front rather than just the pickup.

Booms and arms down and pinned, attachments removed or secured, nothing leaking, and anything loose taken out of the cab. Have the keys available and make sure someone can open any locked gate. A machine that is ready to load keeps the booked slot from becoming a wasted trip.
