About Machinery Transport Quotes

What is on this site

One question, "machinery moving quotes", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• Machinery transport cost: what actually sets the price: Why plant and machinery moves are priced per machine and per site, the drivers behind the quote, and the questions that make two hauliers directly comparable.
• Low loader or step frame? Choosing the trailer for a machine: Low loader, step frame, extendable, beavertail or flatbed: what each is for, how deck height decides your route, and why the trailer choice is the haulier's call.
• Driven or craned? Loading and lifting a machine onto a trailer: Whether a machine drives on or has to be lifted changes the crew, the cost and the day. How to work out which applies and what to have ready at both ends.
• Securing machinery on a trailer: what DVSA guidance requires: DVSA requires a securing system that withstands the load's full weight forward and half its weight sideways and rearward. What that means for a machine on a trailer.
