Preparing machinery for transport involves several steps to ensure safety and prevent damage. First, the equipment must be cleaned to remove any dirt or debris. Next, any loose parts should be secured, and moving components like arms or booms should be locked in place. Machinery may also need to be partially dismantled, depending on its size. Finally, the equipment is loaded onto the transport vehicle and secured with heavy-duty straps or chains to prevent movement during transit.

Permits are often required for heavy machinery transport, especially for oversized or overweight loads. These permits are issued by local or state authorities and ensure that the transport complies with road safety regulations. Permits may specify the approved routes, times for transport and any restrictions related to the load. Failure to obtain the proper permits can result in fines or delays. Transport companies typically handle the permit application process to ensure compliance with all legal requirements.

Heavy machinery is typically loaded onto transport vehicles using ramps, cranes or specialised loading equipment. For smaller or medium-sized machinery, ramps allow the equipment to be driven or rolled onto flatbed trucks or low loaders. For larger or immobile machinery, cranes or other lifting devices are used to carefully place the equipment onto the transport vehicle. Once loaded, the machinery is secured with heavy-duty straps, chains or other restraints to prevent it from shifting during transport.
