Grafton Machinery Transport
At TNT Towing, we provide licensed machinery transport across the Coffs Coast, Northern Rivers and surrounding areas, handling everything from light commercial equipment to heavy-duty machines. Based in South Grafton and backed by more than 13 years in the towing industry, we understand the planning, compliance and load requirements needed for safe, legal transport.
Our fleet includes tilt trays and heavy-load carriers suitable for a range of machinery types—whether you're relocating construction equipment, shifting farm assets or managing site deliveries. We work with businesses, contractors and property owners to coordinate safe pickups, secure restraint, and compliant road handling.
Each job is assessed for load weight, access limitations and road conditions, so we arrive with the right truck and gear. We follow correct documentation processes and communicate clearly throughout every stage. For local machinery transport handled by experienced professionals, call us on 0417 318 181.
Planning, Loading & Logistics
We approach machinery transport with a focus on preparation and practical execution. Every job starts with a review of the load size, weight and specific access requirements at both the pickup and delivery sites. We use certified load restraint systems and adjust loading angles and tray height to accommodate non-standard machinery shapes.
Our operators are trained to identify pressure points, balance weight, and avoid mechanical strain during movement. In many cases, we’ll request photos or site details ahead of time to confirm the safest and most efficient approach. We understand that equipment is valuable—often central to your work—so we don’t make assumptions or take shortcuts. If lifting equipment or special attachments are needed, we’ll coordinate that before arrival.
Once loaded, we follow mapped routes that consider bridge limits, road surface and turning space. From dispatch to delivery, machinery transport is carried out with precision, safety and strict compliance in mind.
What types of machinery can be transported by tilt tray?
Tilt trays can transport a wide range of machinery, including mini excavators, skid steers, scissor lifts, compact tractors and light construction equipment. The key factors are the machine’s size, weight and whether it can be safely secured to the tray. Larger machines may require low loaders or float transport instead. Tilt trays are ideal for urban jobs or site-to-site moves that don’t involve oversize or overmass permits. Always confirm the exact specs of your machinery before booking.
Do I need to be present when machinery is picked up or delivered?
In most cases, it's helpful but not essential to be on-site during pickup or delivery, as long as access is arranged in advance. If you're not available, someone else must provide keys, site instructions, and any necessary safety clearances. Secure access points and flat, stable loading areas are essential. Some providers may require a signed transport authorisation or release form if you’re not present. It’s best to confirm these details at the time of booking to avoid delays.
How much notice is needed to book machinery transport?
Notice periods can vary depending on the type of machinery, location and transport provider availability. For standard loads, same-day or next-day bookings may be possible. For larger or remote jobs, it’s best to allow two-to -three days for planning and coordination—especially if permits or specialised gear are required. Last-minute bookings may incur additional fees if equipment or scheduling needs to be adjusted. Booking early gives more flexibility and helps ensure the correct truck and restraints are available.
