Small equipment
Small machines, moved on a proper deck
A mini excavator to the next job site, a ride-on mower to the service shop, a boat on its trailer to the launch or to storage. If it fits on our deck and weighs under the limit, we can move it.

How it's secured
Machines are chained, cars are strapped
Tracked machines and tractors are held with rated chains and binders on their own tie-down points, the way the road rules require for equipment.
Driven or winched on
You or your operator drive it up, or we winch it on. Tracks go dead centre on the deck.
Bucket down
Buckets, blades and booms are lowered and pinned flat on the deck, never left raised.
Four chains
A chain and binder at each corner tie-down point, plus one for any attachment.
Checked en route
We stop after the first 10 km to retighten, and again on any long run.
