Frequently Asked Questions
What licences are needed for heavy vehicle transport?
In Australia, transporting heavy vehicles requires a heavy rigid (HR), heavy combination (HC) or multi-combination (MC) licence, depending on the type and size of the vehicle. Operators must also meet OH&S requirements and hold industry accreditations for load restraint and fatigue management. For certain routes and load sizes, additional permits from transport authorities may be required.
Can livestock be transported over long distances?
Yes, livestock can be safely transported long distances with proper preparation and equipment. Purpose-built trailers ensure adequate ventilation, space, and secure footing. Regular stops for water, feed, and rest are essential. Livestock transport must comply with animal welfare standards and biosecurity regulations, especially when crossing state or territory lines in Australia.
How is machinery transported safely on public roads?
Machinery is transported using floats, low loaders or tilt trays, depending on the size and weight. Loads are secured with chains and restraints, and may be disassembled for compliance with height or width regulations. Escort vehicles and signage are used for oversized loads. Operators must follow route restrictions and obtain permits if necessary.
