    Specialised Transport

    Not all freight fits neatly on a pallet. Our Specialised Transport division handles the loads that require custom planning, specialist equipment, and experienced operators — from oversized furniture pieces and marble tabletops to heavy machinery, fragile medical equipment, artwork, and high-value electronics. Every specialised job starts with a detailed scope and load plan, and we work with you, your engineers, and site managers to ensure safe, compliant transport from origin to destination. Where required, we coordinate pilot vehicles, police escorts, and route permits so you can focus on your project, not the logistics.

    Custom load plans and method statements for every job
    Pilot and escort vehicle coordination included
    Hiab and crane-assisted loading and unloading
    Chain-of-custody documentation for high-value freight

    Capabilities

    Custom load planning with detailed method statements and risk assessments
    Oversized and over-dimensional freight up to full low-loader capacity
    Fragile and sensitive freight with custom crating, foam, and vibration dampening
    High-value goods transport with dedicated vehicles and chain-of-custody documentation
    Pilot and escort vehicle coordination for wide, long, or heavy loads
    Crane and hiab-assisted loading and unloading at origin and destination
    Engineering equipment, generators, transformers, and plant relocation
    Route surveys and permit applications for restricted access or oversized loads

    How it works

    1

    Initial scope meeting to understand freight characteristics, origin, destination, and any site constraints

    2

    Develop detailed transport plan including vehicle selection, load restraint method, and route assessment

    3

    Obtain required permits, book escort vehicles, and coordinate with relevant road authorities

    4

    5

    Execute transport with dedicated driver, GPS tracking, and direct communication with project manager

    6

    Complete delivery with supervised unloading, condition report, and post-delivery debrief

    Ideal for

    Oversized machinery, industrial plant, and large furniture relocation
    Fragile medical, scientific, and laboratory equipment
    High-value electronics, servers, and telecommunications infrastructure
    Artwork, sculptures, and museum collection transport
    Engineering components, steel fabrications, and precast concrete
    Generator, transformer, and switchboard deliveries to construction sites

    Frequently asked questions

    Can you handle permits for oversized loads?

    Yes. Our operations team manages the full permit application process with the NHVR and relevant state road authorities. This includes route assessments, bridge and overhead clearance checks, and coordination of pilot vehicles and police escorts where required by the permit conditions.

    How do you protect fragile equipment during transport?

    Protection methods are tailored to each item. We use a combination of custom timber crating, closed-cell foam, vibration dampening mounts, and air-ride suspension vehicles. For particularly sensitive equipment, we can arrange vibration and tilt monitoring during transit.

    Do you offer site-to-site machinery relocation?

    Yes. We regularly manage factory and plant relocations involving disconnection, rigging, transport, and re-installation coordination. We work alongside your engineers, riggers, and electricians to ensure a seamless transition with minimal downtime.

    What's the heaviest item you can transport?

    Our own fleet handles loads up to approximately 28 tonnes on low-loader configurations. For heavier lifts, we partner with specialist heavy haulage operators and can coordinate the full project including multi-axle platform trailers for loads exceeding 100 tonnes.
