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 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.

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.

What does our heavy machinery transport service include?
The transport plan depends on the machine, route, loading requirements and delivery site. Our service can include:
- Reviewing the machinery type, make and model, dimensions, weight, operating condition and centre of gravity where available
- Selecting a suitable low loader, flat deck, drop deck or extendable trailer configuration
- Confirming the agreed loading and unloading method, including ramps, assisted loading or craneage where required
- Planning the route around road access, overhead clearances, bridge restrictions, turning room and changing conditions
- Identifying relevant permit, pilot, escort and traffic-management requirements
- Planning load restraint around the machinery, trailer and rated tie-down points where available
- Coordinating pickup and delivery timing with site contacts, operating hours and access requirements
- Supporting machinery transport to metropolitan, regional, remote and mine-site locations across WA
Which trailer is used for heavy machinery? Low loaders can help manage tall or heavy machinery, while flat decks and drop decks may suit other equipment and loading methods. Extendable trailers can support longer loads. We confirm the suitable combination after reviewing the machine’s dimensions, mass, loading method and route.
Benefits of a planned machinery transport service
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
How does heavy machinery transport work?
How the service works
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.
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.
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.
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.
What machinery and equipment can AWH transport?
We assess heavy equipment and plant transport for contractors, project teams, mine operators, farms and industrial businesses across Western Australia. Common machinery and equipment can include:
- Excavators, dozers, loaders, graders, rollers and skid steers
- Earthmoving and civil construction equipment

- Tractors, harvesters and other agricultural machinery
- Forklifts, elevated work platforms, generators and compressors
- Drilling equipment and machinery attachments

Frequently Asked Questions
How 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.
