Why Choose Equip Hire for Machinery Transport

We Already Move Equipment Daily

Equip Hire's primary business is hiring out excavators and tippers across Northern Adelaide. We're already transporting machinery as part of hire deliveries every day. That experience translates directly to third-party machinery transport.

Northern Adelaide Local

Our Modbury Heights base means we're often the closest tilt tray operator for jobs in Salisbury, Elizabeth, Munno Para, Gawler, Tea Tree Gully, and Golden Grove.

Owner-Operated

You speak with Jack directly. Same person who runs the equipment hire side. No call centres. Honest quote, confirmed time, equipment moved.

Project-Schedule Aware

Machinery transport is rarely standalone. It's part of a project with site access requirements, council approvals, and weather windows. We work with project schedules rather than rigid time slots.

Transparent Pricing

Machinery transport from $175. Exact pricing depends on distance, machine weight, complexity, and whether the machine runs. Combo discounts available for hire customers.

Safe Load Restraint

Best-practice load restraint with rated tie-downs and chains. Hendrickson airbag rear suspension provides smoother transport on uneven roads.

Machinery Transport for Common Project Types

Building Sites & Construction

Excavators, bobcats, and earthmoving equipment between active construction sites. Same-day service available for urgent moves.

Equipment Hire Companies

Sub-contracted transport for other equipment hire businesses. Collect from one customer site, deliver to another with proper paperwork.

Auction Houses & Sales

Pickup and delivery of machinery sold at Pickles, Grays Online, and other Adelaide auction houses.

Civil & Council Projects

Equipment shifts on long-running civil projects, council infrastructure work, or community facility builds.

Insurance & Damaged Equipment

Farm & Agricultural

Smaller agricultural equipment, mini excavators, post-hole borers, and similar gear within our tilt tray capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Email jack@equiphireau.com if your question isn't answered below.

Our Isuzu FYJ 300-350 is rated at 30 tonnes GVM with payload up to 14 tonnes. We comfortably handle: mini excavators (1.8T-6T), mid-size excavators 6T-14T (call to confirm specific machines), bobcats and skid steers (most models), scissor lifts and similar plant equipment within our capacity. If your machine is bigger, we'll refer you straight to operators with semi-trailers or low loaders.
Yes. Our tilt tray includes an integrated winch specifically for loading non-running equipment. Common non-running transport: broken-down excavators going to workshops, machinery being recovered after damage, equipment being picked up from auction yards.
Same-day machinery transport is often available for Northern Adelaide jobs booked before 10am, subject to existing schedule. For Adelaide metro and Adelaide Hills areas: typically 1-2 day notice. Regional SA: 2-3 days depending on location.
Machinery transport from $175. Exact pricing depends on distance, machine weight, and complexity. Combo discounts available for machinery you've also hired from us. We always provide a transparent upfront quote before confirming the booking. Call Jack on 0466 286 704 for a quote.
Yes, we regularly collect machinery from Pickles, Grays Online, and other Adelaide auction yards. We just need: the auction lot details, pickup authorisation paperwork from you, and confirmation the machine fits our capacity.
Most of our machinery transport work is within South Australia. For interstate machinery transport, call us to discuss; we may be able to arrange the job or refer you to a national specialist.
Smaller attachments (buckets, augers, grapples, brooms) typically transport on the same load with the machine. Larger or oversized attachments may need separate transport. Tell us what's coming with the machine when you book.
Yes. We work with other equipment hire businesses that need sub-contracted transport. We coordinate pickup/delivery with proper paperwork and can integrate with your customer-facing scheduling.
Most residential and commercial sites are accessible. Tight driveways, soft ground, low-clearance gates, or steep approaches may need to be discussed in advance. Tell us about access constraints when booking so we can plan accordingly. We've worked many tight Northern Adelaide sites through our excavator hire business.
Yes, goods-in-transit insurance applies to machinery we transport. For high-value or specialist equipment, mention this when booking so we can confirm coverage is appropriate.
