Machinery Transport Hobart & Heavy Equipment Towing
If you need reliable machinery transport in Hobart, Big Boy Towing is your trusted logistics partner. Moving forklifts, excavators, and scissor lifts requires more than just a standard tow truck. Therefore, we use specialized heavy-duty tilt trays to ensure your equipment arrives on site safely and on schedule.
Whether you are moving a bobcat between construction sites in Glenorchy or delivering a tractor to a farm in Sorell, our experienced team handles the heavy lifting. Consequently, we are the preferred choice for heavy equipment towing across Tasmania.
Specialized Equipment We Transport
We handle a wide range of industrial assets. Our fleet is equipped to move machinery up to 4 tonnes (check your specific capacity here) including:
- Access Equipment: Scissor lifts, boom lifts, and cherry pickers for hire companies.
- Earthmoving Gear: Mini excavators, bobcats, dingos, and trenchers.
- Industrial Machinery: Forklifts (gas and electric), generators, and compressors.
- Agricultural Equipment: Tractors, slashers, and farm implements.
- Containers: 20ft shipping containers and site offices (transportable buildings).
Safety First: How We Secure Your Load
Transporting heavy machinery involves strict safety protocols. We strictly follow load restraint guidelines to protect your valuable asset and the public.
- Correct Weight Distribution: We position your machine over the axles to ensure stability during transport.
- Certified Chains & Binders: We do not rely on simple straps. We use rated chains and dogs to lock heavy machinery down.
- Low Loading Angle: Our tilt trays allow for shallow approach angles, making it safe to load equipment with low ground clearance like forklifts.
For detailed regulations on heavy vehicle transport, you can refer to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) guidelines (Outbound Link).
