Trailer matched to the machinery
We assess the machine’s size, weight, ground clearance, operating condition and loading method before confirming a suitable trailer configuration.
HEAVY EQUIPMENT & PLANT HAULAGE · WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Heavy Machinery Transport Across Western Australia
Heavy equipment and plant haulage from Perth to regional and remote WA, planned around the machine, route, site access and delivery schedule.
Every machine requires a separate assessment. Send the make, model, confirmed dimensions, weight and proposed route so our team can check service suitability.

PLANNED FOR THE MACHINE AND THE ROUTE
Heavy equipment transport planned for the machine and route
Heavy machinery transport moves construction, mining, agricultural and industrial equipment on trailers selected for the machine’s dimensions, weight and loading requirements. Australia Wide Haulage coordinates machinery transport from Perth to metropolitan, regional and remote locations across Western Australia.
Before confirming the job, we review the machine type, make and model, dimensions, weight, operating condition, collection point, destination, access conditions and required timing. This helps our team plan the trailer, loading method, route and delivery arrangements around the actual job.
Depending on the machinery and journey, transport options may include low loaders, flat decks, drop decks and extendable trailers. Machinery that exceeds standard road limits may also need over-dimensional transport planning, permits and pilot or escort support.

Benefits of a planned machinery transport service
The trailer is only one part of the movement. Machine condition, loading, route, permits and delivery access all need to work together.
Route and compliance planning
Our team reviews road access, clearances, route restrictions and applicable permit, pilot or escort requirements before the movement is confirmed.
Coordinated pickup and delivery
We confirm collection and delivery contacts, site access, timing and the agreed loading or unloading responsibilities before the movement.
HOW THE SERVICE WORKS
Machine details, transport planning, collection and delivery
Confirmed machine information determines the trailer configuration, loading method, route assessment and site arrangements.
- 01
Send the machinery details
Provide the make and model, exact dimensions and weight, operating condition, attachments, centre-of-gravity details where available, photographs or drawings, collection point, destination and preferred timing.
- 02
Assess the transport plan
We assess the trailer, loading method, load restraint, route, site access and any permit, pilot or escort requirements that may apply.
- 03
Prepare for collection
We confirm the agreed preparation and access requirements. This may include securing loose attachments, checking transport dimensions, confirming whether the machine can be driven and clearing the loading area.
- 04
Transport and hand over
Our driver completes the movement according to the confirmed plan and coordinates arrival with the nominated delivery contact and agreed unloading arrangements.
Each item requires a separate assessment. The machine’s dimensions, weight, condition, attachments, route and site access determine whether our equipment and service are suitable.

QUICK ANSWERS BEFORE YOU REQUEST A QUOTE
Heavy machinery transport questions
These answers explain the first planning considerations. The final requirements can only be confirmed once the machine, vehicle combination and route are assessed.
Call (08) 9454 3277How do you transport heavy machinery safely?
Safe heavy machinery transport starts with accurate machine dimensions, weight and condition. We then assess the trailer, loading and unloading method, load restraint, route, access and relevant permits. The final plan depends on the specific machine and journey rather than one standard method for every load.
How much does heavy machinery transport cost?
The quote depends on the machine’s dimensions and weight, collection and delivery locations, distance, trailer configuration, loading equipment, permits, pilots or escorts, site access and required timing. Send the make and model, exact specifications, photographs and route details so we can assess the full job rather than provide an unreliable flat rate.
What insurance is needed when transporting heavy machinery?
AWH’s Conditions of Carriage state that the consignor warrants the goods are insured for their full insurable value. Before booking, review the AWH Conditions of Carriage and confirm that your machinery or transit insurance covers the proposed movement, including loading and unloading where applicable. Ask your insurer or broker about exclusions and claims requirements.
Are permits or pilot vehicles needed to transport heavy machinery in WA?
They may be required when the loaded vehicle becomes a Restricted Access Vehicle because of its dimensions, mass or configuration. Main Roads WA states that a permit or order is required for a Restricted Access Vehicle operating on a public road in Western Australia. Pilot and escort requirements depend on the load, route and permit conditions. We assess these requirements during planning. Check the current Main Roads WA permit and order guidance for official information.
