How to select the right solution

A project manager should confirm the following technical inputs before comparing availability or rates:

  • Complete machine register
  • Priority and arrival sequence
  • Route and permit needs
  • Loading resources at both ends

Site readiness and operating controls

  • Laydown and offloading plan
  • Site access windows
  • Traffic management
  • Induction and communication
The site remains responsible for its project-specific risk assessments, legal appointments, access controls and operating procedures. Offered equipment and services must be checked against the approved work plan.

Related and matching equipment

  • 20–100 ton lowbeds
  • Abnormal-load vehicles
  • Escorts and cranes
  • Service and recovery support

Mobilisation and transport planning

A load schedule records each machine, assigned trailer, collection time, permit status and delivery sequence.

Commercial information to define

  • Per-load or project basis
  • Standby and cancellation rules
  • Permit lead time
  • Coordination responsibility

Quotations should state the hire basis, minimum hours, exclusions, operator requirements, fuel and maintenance responsibilities, transport, establishment, standing time and the process for recording downtime.

Production and operating factors

Deck, axle distribution, loading method, route restrictions and permits determine the suitable lowbed arrangement. Capacity labels alone do not confirm that a particular machine can be transported.
