TransportMatchLoading and lifting
Self-propelled machines drive onto a low loader. Everything else is lifted by crane or forklift, or pulled on with a winch. State which lifting points exist, whether a forklift is available on site and what capacity it has.
Machinery and equipment transport
Machine transport is decided by three numbers and one question: weight, dimensions, centre of gravity — and how the machine gets on and off the vehicle. Get those right in the job description and the quotes you receive will be realistic.
Dimensions and route planning
Once a machine on the deck exceeds normal width or height, the trip becomes exceptional transport with permits and a planned route. Measure the machine as it will stand on the trailer, including any parts that cannot be removed.
Securing and preparation
Drain fluids where required, lock or remove moving parts, fold masts and booms and protect control panels. A machine that is properly prepared loads faster, which keeps the carrier's time — and your price — down.

Frequently asked questions
Who arranges the crane or forklift?
Usually the site. Carriers can often arrange lifting, but it must be agreed and priced before the trip.
When is a permit required?
As soon as the loaded vehicle exceeds normal width, height or weight. Permits are issued per country, so plan extra lead time for international moves.
Can a machine be moved from a factory floor?
Road transport starts at the loading point. Moving a machine out of the building is a separate rigging job; state whether it is already outside and ready.
