Heavy haulage & plant movement
Owner driver, Heavy Combination licensed, running our own prime mover and float. Plant is collected, worked on and returned by the same business.

Most refurbishment jobs involve at least one carrier who has no stake in the finish. They pick up a freshly coated machine, strap it down over new topcoat, and the damage argument starts when it arrives.
When the business that applied the coating is also the business that carts it, that argument does not happen. We know what is cured, what is not, and where a strap can go.
“One business collects it, works on it and delivers it. Nobody left to point at.”
Why we run our own truck
Restraint performance to the National Transport Commission Load Restraint Guide 2018. Restraint chosen for the load, not for what happens to be on the truck.
Obligations under the Heavy Vehicle National Law understood and met as a party in the chain. Consignors and receivers carry duties too, and we will flag it if a request would put either of us in breach.
Work diary and fatigue requirements observed. Pre-start inspection on truck and float before every movement, and we will not run a load to hit a deadline that requires breaking either.
One prime mover, one float, one driver. That is a genuine constraint and it is better stated than discovered.
| Fleet | One prime mover and float, owned outright. Owner driven, Heavy Combination licensed. |
|---|---|
| Concurrent loads | One at a time. Multiple simultaneous movements are subcontracted to vetted carriers and disclosed to you upfront. |
| Oversize | Loads requiring permits, pilots or escorts are assessed case by case. Lead time increases. |
| Craneage | We do not operate lifting equipment. Where a load needs craning on or off, that is arranged separately and priced in. |
| Coverage | Victoria as standard. Interstate considered on the merits of the job and the return leg. |
| Goods in transit | Client plant under our control is covered. Certificates of currency are provided on request — ask before you book. |
Quote both together. It is usually cheaper than two suppliers and there is nobody to argue with about transit damage.
