Safety is a top priority during heavy machinery transport, with several precautions taken to ensure safe handling. Machinery is thoroughly inspected before loading, and loose parts or components are secured. The transport vehicle is chosen based on the machinery's size and weight to ensure it can handle the load. During transport, machinery is secured with strong straps or chains. Additionally, transport companies follow strict safety guidelines for loading, unloading and driving, ensuring that the machinery reaches its destination without incident.

Route planning for heavy machinery transport is crucial, particularly for oversized loads. Transport companies plan routes that avoid low bridges, weight-restricted roads and areas with tight turns. They may also need to consider traffic conditions, road closures or weather that could impact the journey. In some cases, the transport may require a police escort or pilot vehicles to guide the machinery safely through narrow or congested areas. Proper route planning helps ensure the machinery reaches its destination safely and efficiently.

Pilot vehicles, also known as escort vehicles, are used to guide heavy machinery transport through difficult or high-traffic areas. They are typically required when transporting oversized or overweight loads that may require additional space on the road. Pilot vehicles help warn other drivers of the approaching load and ensure the transport can navigate safely through tight turns, narrow roads or low-clearance areas. They may also coordinate with local authorities to manage traffic or provide additional safety measures during transport.
