FAQs

  • What trailers are used for transporting heavy machinery?

    Several types of specialised trailers are used in Australia to transport heavy machinery, depending on the dimensions and weight of the load. Common options include drop deck trailers (used for tall equipment), low loaders (ideal for extremely heavy loads due to their low centre of gravity), and extendable trailers (for long items such as beams or prefabricated structures). Some jobs may also require float trailers or platform trailers for added versatility. These trailers are often designed to load from the rear or side and include ramps or hydraulic systems to make loading and unloading safer and more efficient.



  • What qualifications do drivers need for heavy haulage transport?

    Heavy haulage drivers in Australia must hold a valid heavy vehicle licence, usually an HC (Heavy Combination) or MC (Multi-Combination) licence, depending on the type of truck being operated. Additional certifications are required for transporting dangerous goods, including a Dangerous Goods Driver Licence issued by the relevant state or territory authority. Drivers also need to be trained in load restraint, fatigue management, and compliance with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) standards. Many transport companies prefer drivers with specific experience in handling oversized or overmass freight due to the complexity and risk involved.


  • What’s the difference between full container load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL)?

    A full container load (FCL) means a single shipper has exclusive use of an entire shipping container, typically used when the volume of goods is enough to fill or nearly fill the container. This option offers faster transit times and reduced handling risk. Less than container load (LCL), on the other hand, involves sharing container space with other shippers. While LCL can be more cost-effective for smaller shipments, it may involve longer transit times due to consolidation and deconsolidation processes.
