Townsville's industrial estates from Bohle to Mount St John move plant and machinery every working day, and the right operator can handle anything from a skid-steer to a small excavator, telehandler or tractor. The recommended operators here run heavy floats and flat decks suited to plant work, with rated chains, edge protectors and the loading skill to keep tracks, tyres and hydraulic lines undamaged. They can also coordinate multi-piece moves between sites, store machinery overnight at a secure yard, and combine equipment transport with the heavy-recovery work that often goes hand in hand with it. For larger or oversize loads, ask early so escorts and route planning can be arranged.
