Machinery Float Transport for Construction Equipment in Brisbane
Machinery float and tilt-tray transport for self-loading of excavators, dozers, skid steers and tracked construction plant across Brisbane and South East Queensland. Hydraulic deck control and minimal site setup where access allows — quoted to your machine and route. The float combination is built for civil and construction plant moving between sites without separate loading equipment.

How we plan and carry the move
Access & route checks
We check site access for tilt-tray operation — gradient, ground condition and overhead clearance — and confirm the route for the float combination across SEQ.
Loading preparation
The tilt-tray is extended and the machine winched or driven on under hydraulic deck control where the machine and site allow — no separate crane required.
Tie-down verification
Chain and webbing restraints are applied to the machine's lift points and tensioned; the deck is returned to travel position and re-checked before departure.
Delivery handover
At delivery the tray is tilted and the machine off-loaded under direction, then positioned per site requirements before the float departs.
Loading & site access
Self-loading tilt-tray
Floats and tilt-trays load under hydraulic deck control — the machine drives or winches on without a separate crane. We confirm the machine can track or be winched and that the tray angle suits its ground clearance.
Gradient & ground condition
Tilt-tray loading needs firm, reasonably level ground. We check the pickup and delivery pads for slope, soft ground or obstruction before committing to self-loading.
Tracked vs wheeled plant
Tracked machines load over the tray edge with care to tracks and rollers; wheeled machines drive on under their own power. We match the method to the machine.
Tight civil sites
Floats suit compact civil and building sites where a low-loader cannot manoeuvre. We confirm swing room, set-down area and exit path before the float is dispatched.
Pre-move safety checklist
Machine can self-load or be winched onto the tilt-tray
Pickup and delivery ground firm and level enough for tilt-tray operation
Machine ground clearance suits the tray loading angle
Route cleared for the float combination — height, width, mass
Lift points identified for chain and webbing restraint
Deck returned to travel position and re-checked before departure
Delivery set-down area and exit path confirmed
Site contact and timing confirmed before dispatch
What to send with your request
To prepare your quote, send the machine type, dimensions (length × width × height) and operating mass, a few site photos, any spec sheets or attachment details, the pickup and delivery locations, and your preferred window. Every quote is engineered to the load and route.
Capability
Tilt-tray and float combinations for tracked and wheeled construction machinery across SEQ.
Self-loading where site access and ground conditions allow — no separate crane required.
Hydraulic deck control for precise load and unload positioning on tight civil sites.
SEQ-wide movement of construction and civil plant between Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
Ideal for excavators, dozers, skid steers and telehandlers moving between project sites.
Quote-only — every float movement is engineered to the machine, route and timing.
When a machinery float fits
Tight civil and building sites
Floats and tilt-trays manoeuvre where low-loaders cannot — narrow estate roads, compact building sites and tight civil pads. The float is the right tool when the site cannot fit a full low-loader combination.
No separate crane needed
Self-loading under hydraulic deck control means no crane hire at pickup or delivery — the float loads and unloads the machine itself, which saves cost and coordination on straightforward plant moves.
Short-haul plant moves
Ideal for plant moving between nearby civil sites — Brisbane to Ipswich, Gold Coast to Yatala — where a low-loader is more trailer than the job needs and the machine can self-load.
Tracked and wheeled plant
Excavators, dozers, skid steers and telehandlers that can self-track or be winched onto the tray are the core cargo. We match the float to the machine weight and ground clearance.
