Machinery Transport Melbourne — Excavators, Bobcats & Plant Equipment

WE TOW ANYTHING is Melbourne’s specialist machinery towing company. We transport construction equipment, forklifts, and industrial plant across Melbourne, Dandenong, Oakleigh, Pakenham, and all of Victoria — 24 hours a day, every day.

 

Melbourne Machinery Transport Specialists — Not a General Towing Operator

Most towing companies can move a car. Machinery transport requires a different level of preparation. The wrong truck, wrong rigging, or wrong loading technique can damage a $200,000 excavator or leave your operator liable for a workplace incident.

WE TOW ANYTHING runs hydraulic tilt-tray trucks with full ramp extension capability, certified tie-down chains, and operators who understand how to load tracked machinery, wheeled plant, and equipment with hydraulic attachments.

We’ve moved excavators off tight Dandenong industrial sites, transported bobcats between Pakenham construction projects, and hauled forklifts from Oakleigh warehouses to Melbourne CBD facilities — all without incident. We don’t subcontract machinery jobs. The driver who quotes your job is the driver who loads your machine.

  • Licensed tow truck operators — Victorian Tow Truck Industry Licence
  • Hydraulic tilt-tray fleet — full ramp extension for tracked & wheeled plant
  • Certified tie-down chains & straps rated for construction machinery
  • Permit coordination — oversized/overweight load advice & applications
  • Photo documentation available — useful for insurance and site records
  • No subcontracting — your driver is always our operator
  • 24/7 availability — including early-morning construction site departures
  • Upfront, itemised pricing before dispatch — no surprises

What our customers says about us

Frequently Asked Questions — Machinery Transport Melbourne

What types of machinery do you transport in Melbourne?

Excavators (1.5t–8t), bobcats, skid steers, forklifts (up to 4t), compactors, road rollers, elevated work platforms (scissor lifts, boom lifts), concrete saws, trenchers, generators, and general construction plant. Call for anything not listed.

 

Yes. Dandenong and the South East Industrial Corridor are among our most common machinery transport routes. We regularly move equipment between Dandenong, Oakleigh, Moorabbin, Pakenham, and Melbourne CBD construction sites.

 

Most machinery transport on standard roads within Melbourne does not require a permit provided the load width doesn’t exceed 2.5m and height doesn’t exceed 4.3m. Oversized or overweight loads require VicRoads permits and possibly pilot vehicles. We advise on this when you book.

 

Yes. Our hydraulic tilt-tray trucks can load machinery from sites with tight access where ground clearance is limited. We carry ramps, mats, and rigging gear for difficult terrain. For very confined sites, we assess on a case-by-case basis — call to discuss.

 

Machinery transport pricing depends on equipment type, dimensions, weight, pickup and dropoff locations, access conditions, and whether permits are required. We provide upfront, itemised quotes before dispatch. Call 0447 119 564 for a firm price.

 

Yes. WE TOW ANYTHING operates 24/7 including weekends and public holidays. Construction and industrial operations don’t keep business hours, and neither do we.
