Equipment decides the price and the risk
A load booked on the wrong trailer either costs more than it needed to or fails at the delivery end. Most of the time a customer asks for a semi because that is the word they know, when a tilt tray or a crane truck would have been cheaper and would have solved the unloading problem at the same time.
Describe the load and let us pick the gear.
Single tautliner
Side-loading curtain trailer. The default for palletised metro and regional freight — a forklift can work it from either side, which matters at sites with no dock.
B-double tautliner
Two decks behind one prime mover. Where volume justifies it this is the cheapest way to move palletised freight per unit, and it is the backbone of our linehaul.
Container trucks and skels
Wharf and depot container work — import unpack, export pack, empty dehire and repositioning around the Port of Brisbane.
Floats for heavy equipment
Tracked and wheeled plant — excavators, dozers and heavy machinery. Low deck height for clearance, ramps for drive-on loading.
Low loaders
For the tallest and heaviest plant, where even a drop deck will not clear. Permitted work, usually with route survey and pilots.
Extendable chassis
Long structural freight — steel, beams, trusses and blades that exceed a standard deck.
Truck-mounted cranes
Where the load has to be lifted on or off at a site with no plant of its own. Self-sufficient delivery.
Tipper trucks and tipper utes
Bulk and loose material — aggregate, soil, spoil and site waste.
Tilt trays
Single-item moves, vehicles and containers. The right answer far more often than people expect.
One and two tonne utes
Light freight and urgent single-drop work where a semi is the wrong tool and an expensive one.
Not sure which vehicle you need?
Describe the job rather than the vehicle. Tell us the load or the headcount, the addresses and the timing, and we will specify the right equipment — it is usually cheaper than the one people ask for by name.
