Your machinery is a significant capital investment that requires protection. When your project is running on a strict schedule, unreliable logistics and transport are the last thing you need. Not only does unprofessional machinery transport increase the potential for downtime on your project, but it can also cause wear and tear on your equipment.
Professional machinery transport is the smartest choice for your project. When you choose specialised equipment and expert handling, you are ensuring your machinery arrives in peak operational condition and investing in its longevity.
Eliminating Damage
Traditional towing ramps often rely on steep, fixed ramps that can increase the risk of undercarriage damage, especially for low-clearance machines like forklifts or scissor lifts. Northern Suburb Towing uses tilt-tray towing for all our towing and transport services. Our specialised fleet eliminates the risk of damage by extending the tray backward before tilting, creating a gentle incline that allows the equipment to glide on without the risk of scraping or tipping.
Apart from it simply being heavy, industrial machinery tends to have an uneven weight distribution and requires specific tie-down points to ensure the machine doesn’t move or tip during transport. From the first lift to the final offload, our secured towing straps ensure that your investment is protected.
Precision and Efficiency
In the construction and agricultural sectors, time is your most valuable resource, and any downtime means a compromise in a project’s timeline or a loss of revenue. By choosing professional machinery transport, you are investing in precision and efficiency that minimises downtime. If a machine arrives late or is damaged, it could create a domino effect and result in unwanted costs.
Machinery transport requires highly precise logistics and calculations. Leaving it to the professionals means eliminating any complications of DIY hauling or stressing about your machinery tipping or swaying on the freeway.
Local Expertise
Local expertise is a big factor when it comes to choosing a machinery transport company. While a national carrier may have the equipment, they often lack the local knowledge required to navigate the unique challenges of WA. Not every road in Perth is built for heavy machinery. Engaging a local company that uses the Main Roads RAV mapping to plan routes helps avoid restricted bridges in areas such as the Mitchell Freeway or Reid Highway.
Extensive knowledge of WA’s machinery towing licensing and permits is also essential to ensuring your machinery transport adheres to WA’s road safety regulations. At Northern Suburbs, we ensure every transport service complies with road traffic regulations, protecting you from heavy fines and liabilities.
Keeping Your Machinery Safe
Protecting your assets is one of the best investments you can make for your business and projects. Professional machinery transport is more than just bringing your machine from one point to another; it is a strategic and precise logistics that maximises your efficiency and saves you costs.
