START WITH THE LOAD
Every heavy transport job starts with the load. Whether you need to move an excavator between Perth sites, oversized mining equipment into the Pilbara or dedicated freight into the Kimberley, we use the dimensions, weight, route, loading method, access and timing to identify the right service. View all freight and heavy haulage services or choose a starting point below.
Move excavators, loaders, graders, dozers, agricultural machinery and other heavy equipment between yards, projects and remote sites. We check the dimensions, weight, operating condition, loading method and access before matching the transport equipment.
Explore Heavy Machinery Transport
Oversize and over-dimensional transport for machinery, structures and components that may exceed standard road dimensions or mass. We review the full vehicle and load combination, route conditions and any permit, pilot or escort planning that may apply.
Explore Over-Dimensional Transport
Move equipment, project freight and supplies for mine-site mobilisation and remote delivery across WA. We consider site induction, delivery windows, unloading arrangements, access, site contacts and regional conditions before confirming the movement.
Explore Mine and Remote Transport
Book dedicated trailer capacity for freight travelling from one origin to one destination without sharing the load. Full truck loads can suit high-volume, bulky, time-sensitive or project freight when the load and route fit the service.
Explore Full Truck Load FreightCHOOSE THE RIGHT STARTING POINT
Use this guide as a starting point. AWH will confirm the service and equipment after reviewing the complete job.
Make, model, operating condition, dimensions, weight, loading method and access.
Overall dimensions, mass, drawings or photos, route, access and required dates.
Site name, induction needs, delivery window, contacts, freight and access.
Freight type, quantity, dimensions, weight, origin, destination and dates.
If a project includes several load types, send the full freight list. AWH can advise whether one service or a staged transport plan fits the work.

PLAN THE JOB · CONFIRM THE MOVEMENT
Heavy haulage planning starts before a truck reaches the collection point. The team needs accurate load and site information to choose suitable equipment and check the route.
Tell us what is moving, its condition, quantity, overall dimensions, weight, loading method and any handling requirements.
We assess the prime mover, trailer and load configuration against the freight, loading method and access at both sites.
We review road-network access, bridge and overpass clearances, turning constraints, curfews and any permit, pilot or escort planning that may apply to the complete combination.
We confirm firm access, overhead clearance, turning space, site contacts, traffic controls, inductions, delivery windows and who will load or unload the freight.
We carry out the agreed transport plan and provide the delivery or proof-of-delivery information included in the booking process.
Bridge clearances, road access, metropolitan curfews, permits and escort requirements can differ by route and vehicle combination. We review the proposed movement and confirm what must be in place before transport. General website information does not replace approval from the relevant road authority.
Check current Main Roads WA permit, order and scheme information for the official requirements.
EQUIPMENT MATCHED TO THE MOVEMENT
AWH operates a modern line-haul fleet with 90 to 167 tonne rated prime movers. Available configurations include road trains, B-doubles, low loaders, drop decks with ramps, extendable trailers and heavy deck-and-dolly combinations. We confirm availability and suitability for each job.
Lowers deck height for suitable tall or heavy mobile plant.
Supports suitable drive-on and drive-off machinery where capacity, ramp angle and access allow.
Carries suitable long indivisible loads and project components.
Distributes mass across more axle groups for suitable heavier combinations.
Supports suitable long-distance and dedicated freight on approved routes.
Weight alone does not decide the setup. We also consider overall dimensions, centre of gravity, loading method, road access, site conditions and the equipment available for the required dates.
QUOTE AND LEAD-TIME PLANNING
Heavy haulage does not have one reliable per-kilometre price. The quote and lead time depend on the complete vehicle-and-load combination, route, operating conditions and support required.
Overall length, width, height, mass, weight distribution, centre of gravity and operating condition.
Origin, destination, distance, road access, clearances, bridges, curfews and regional conditions.
Prime mover, trailer configuration, axle groups and availability for the requested dates.
Permit or order requirements and any pilot, escort or traffic-management needs.
Loading, unloading, crane or rigging interface, access, inductions, waiting time and delivery window.
A written quote should state its inclusions, exclusions and assumptions, including whether third-party, permit, escort, lifting or waiting costs are included or variable.
EIGHT DEPOTS ACROSS WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Australia Wide Haulage operates eight depots across Western Australia: two in Perth, two in the Pilbara and four in the Kimberley. This network supports freight movements between metropolitan, regional and remote locations, not only loads leaving Perth.

A PRACTICAL WESTERN AUSTRALIAN TEAM
The family freight business began in 1985 with three prime movers and seven trailers, and became Australia Wide Haulage in January 2010. When comparing heavy haulage companies in Perth, check whether the provider’s network and available equipment fit the route, who handles permits and escorts, what the quote includes and how delivery updates will be managed.
See Why Businesses Choose AWHEight depots across Perth, the Pilbara and the Kimberley give our team operating points across a large part of Western Australia. We confirm the right depot and route for each movement.
We assess the freight, trailer, prime mover, route, access and timing before confirming the movement. Our line-haul prime movers are rated from 90 to 167 tonnes.
We consider road access, permits, pilots or escorts, fatigue requirements, maintained equipment and site conditions as part of the transport plan.
We confirm the booking contact and explain how status updates, delivery handover and proof of delivery will be handled for the job.
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Public reviews can help freight buyers compare project haulage, varied load profiles, equipment, workplace safety, tracking and proof of delivery.
HEAVY HAULAGE QUESTIONS
These answers explain the first planning decisions. Final equipment, route, scope and timing are confirmed after AWH assesses the specific movement.
Call (08) 9454 3277AWH provides heavy machinery transport, over-dimensional transport, mine and remote transport, and full truck load freight across Western Australia. We select the service after reviewing the load, dimensions, weight, route, site access and required dates.
There is no reliable universal per-kilometre rate for heavy haulage. Price depends on the load dimensions and mass, distance, trailer and prime mover, road access, permits, pilots or escorts, loading and unloading, site conditions, timing and waiting requirements. The written quote should identify its inclusions, exclusions and assumptions.
Send the origin, destination, freight type, quantity, overall length, width, height and weight, plus the required dates. Include loading and unloading arrangements, access conditions, site contacts and induction requirements. Drawings, data sheets, site plans or clear photos help us assess unusual machinery and oversized loads.
Some oversized or overmass vehicle combinations need a Main Roads WA permit or order and may require pilot or escort vehicles. The requirements depend on the complete vehicle and load combination, route and operating conditions. We assess the proposed movement before confirming what must be arranged. See our over-dimensional transport service for the planning process.
A low loader can reduce deck height for suitable tall or heavy plant, while a drop deck with ramps can suit some drive-on and drive-off machinery. A multi-axle or deck-and-dolly setup can distribute mass for suitable heavier combinations. We choose the configuration after confirming dimensions, mass, centre of gravity, loading method, route and site access.
Confirm firm access, turning space, overhead and side clearances, site contacts, traffic controls, inductions, delivery windows and who will load or unload the freight. Tell us about soft ground, narrow gates, overhead services or restricted work areas, and send site photos or a plan when access is constrained.
Yes, AWH transports suitable heavy machinery and project freight to WA mine sites and remote destinations. We need the machine details, site name, induction and access requirements, delivery window, contacts and unloading plan before confirming the movement. Start with our mine and remote transport service.
AWH can coordinate the transport interface and identify the supporting requirements for collection and delivery. Crane, rigging, lifting or storage scope must be agreed for the specific job and should not be assumed to be included in a transport quote. Send the handling plan and site contacts so responsibilities can be confirmed.
AWH’s primary Perth depot is at 61 Austin Avenue, Kenwick WA 6109. Its second Perth depot is at 10 Peebles Street, Maddington WA 6109. Contact AWH before visiting or arranging collection or delivery so the team can confirm the correct depot, access and timing for the job.
AWH has Perth depots in Kenwick and Maddington, Pilbara depots in Port Hedland and Karratha, and Kimberley depots in Broome, Derby, Halls Creek and Kununurra. Contact the team before visiting or arranging collection or delivery so we can confirm the correct depot, access and timing.
Compare each provider against the exact load and route. Check the available fleet, depot coverage, current safety and compliance evidence, permit and escort planning, quote inclusions, communication process, proof of delivery and reviews from similar work. Ask who owns each step before accepting the quote.
