That’s right! We are proud to provide reliable, trustworthy transport services for the vehicles other providers might not be willing to move. We pay close attention to details and ensure that your vehicle is well looked after and protected against damage at every stage of its journey.
At All Vehicle Freight, we take care of local and interstate transport for all kinds of vehicles, including tractors and farming equipment.
How We Look After Your Gear
We can transport a host of farm gear and provide four to six chained tie-downs. Our vehicle transporters have metal plate mounts and heavy load tyres, so you can be sure your equipment, parts, and supplies will arrive in good nick.
Our vehicles are open-air, which is much cheaper than the alternative, with excellent protection from road debris. We take time to check on your tractor along the way, and we specialist in “not the norm.” Our skilled and attentive drivers are carefully trained and highly experienced in transporting specialist equipment.
What Do We Need to Transport Your Tractor?
Wondering what information we’ll need before we transport your tractor? Here’s what we’ll ask for – and why.
Vehicle Dimensions and Weight
One of the first things we’ll request is a breakdown on your vehicle. That includes exact dimensions and weight.
This information is important for a number of reasons. When we know exactly how large your vehicle is and how much it weighs, we can make decisions to ensure we’re complying with legal and safety regulations, while optimizing efficiency and getting your vehicle to you as quickly and effectively as possible.
Weight and dimensions help us carefully balance loads to reduce the risk of damage or rollovers on the road. It also helps us make sure we have space for your vehicle and that we can keep it safe from bridge strikes and other transport hazards.
Tractor Horsepower
Next, we’ll ask for your tractor’s horsepower. This might seem like an unusual request, but rest assured we have good reasons for needing this information.
Your tractor’s horsepower can serve as an indicator of size, shape and weight, allowing us to make careful calculations and catch problems before they arise.
For example, high horsepower vehicles often include low-profile tyres and low suspensions, along with other relevant features. When we know these things ahead of time, we can use specialised equipment to load your vehicle, avoiding scrapes and other damages before we hit the road.
Biosecurity Compliance
When transporting farming equipment, we are required to comply with all relevant biosecurity regulations. These are especially important when transporting vehicles across state lines.
All farm equipment, including tractors, must be thoroughly washed down prior to transport, to ensure that no soil, plant matter or insects travel interstate.
By checking for biosecurity compliance ahead of time, we can help you avoid costly delays and penalties associated with breaches.
Beyond simply following the law, we’re also doing our part to help prevent the spread of pests and diseases that could devastate regional areas and local industry.
Timelines and Delivery Requirements
Last but certainly not least, we need to know your delivery timeline expectations and requirements.
In some cases, you might be working to a tight deadline, which may require us to transport your tractor on its own. However, if you have a little more time up your sleeve, there are a range of other services we can offer.
Backloading, or delivery as part of a region-specific job, can save you significantly on costs. Where three or more vehicles or deliveries are required in the same area, bulk discounts may apply.
With your timeline in mind, we can recommend the best deal to get your tractor from A to B.
