Route and permit planning
We assess the proposed route, load dimensions and operating conditions, then coordinate relevant permits, authorities, traffic control and escorts where required.
Over-Dimensional Transport Across Western Australia
Oversized and overmass haulage planned around your load dimensions, route, permit conditions and delivery site.

Australia Wide Haulage transports over-length, oversized and overmass loads across Western Australia. We plan each movement around the load dimensions and weight, collection and delivery sites, route conditions, equipment requirements and relevant approvals.
Our over-dimensional transport capability supports agricultural machinery, construction vehicles, building infrastructure, bridge components, plant and large fabrications. We use flat deck, drop deck, extendable and quad spread deck low-loader trailers according to the confirmed load requirements.
If you are unsure whether your freight falls outside standard transport limits, read our guide to what makes a load over-dimensional in Australia.
If your job involves excavators, loaders, graders or other mobile plant, learn more about our heavy machinery transport capability.
What does our over-dimensional transport service include?
The transport plan depends on the load, route and delivery requirements. Our service can include:
- Reviewing the load type, dimensions, weight and centre of gravity
- Selecting a suitable flat deck, drop deck, extendable or quad spread deck low-loader trailer
- Planning the route around road access, clearances, restrictions and changing conditions
- Coordinating traffic control and heavy-load escorts where required
- Liaising with relevant authorities about permits and transport conditions
- Planning load restraint and securing requirements
- Coordinating craneage for heavy loads where it forms part of the agreed scope
- Delivering equipment and freight to metro, regional and remote WA locations
Permit, escort and route requirements vary according to the load, vehicle combination and proposed journey. We confirm the applicable requirements when assessing the job. For more detail, read our guide to oversized load regulations and permits.
Why use a planned oversized transport service?
Equipment matched to the load
Our flat deck, drop deck, extendable and quad spread deck low-loader options help us plan around different lengths, heights, weights and loading requirements.
WA-wide coordination
How does over-dimensional transport work?
How the service works
Share the load details
Send us the load description, dimensions, weight, photographs or drawings, collection point, destination, site access details and preferred timing.
Plan the equipment and route
We review the trailer configuration, loading method, route conditions, clearances and access at both ends of the journey.
Confirm permits and coordination
Our team identifies the relevant permit, authority, traffic control and escort requirements before confirming the transport arrangements.
Transport and deliver the load
Our trained driver completes the movement according to the agreed route, timing, transport conditions and delivery-site arrangements.
What oversized loads can AWH transport?
We assess oversized and overmass freight for businesses, contractors and project teams across Western Australia. Common loads and applications include:
- Agricultural machinery, including harvesters and grain augers
- Construction and civil equipment that cannot be divided for standard transport
- Building infrastructure and structural components
- Bridge components and large fabrications
- Mining plant, machinery and project equipment
- Heavy freight requiring craneage or specialised loading arrangements
- Equipment for regional and remote WA sites
Every load requires a separate assessment. Send us the confirmed dimensions, weight and route so we can determine whether our equipment and service are suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a load over-dimensional in Australia?
A load is over-dimensional when the loaded vehicle exceeds a dimension limit that applies to standard road transport. The limits and operating requirements depend on the vehicle combination, load, road network and jurisdiction. We assess the confirmed dimensions, weight and proposed route before planning the movement.
How do I measure cargo for over-dimensional transport?
Measure the cargo at its longest, widest and highest points, including fixed attachments and protrusions. Provide the total weight, photographs or drawings, lifting points and centre-of-gravity details where available. We also need the collection point, destination and site access information to assess the job.
How are permit and escort requirements determined for an oversized load?
Permit, pilot, escort and traffic control requirements depend on the loaded vehicle dimensions and mass, vehicle combination, route and applicable operating conditions. We review these factors and liaise with the relevant authorities before confirming the transport plan.
Why does over-dimensional transport cost more than standard freight?
Over-dimensional transport may cost more because the job can require specialised trailers, permits, route surveys, pilot or escort vehicles, traffic control, craneage and restricted travel times. The collection and delivery sites, distance, load dimensions and loading method also affect the quote.
