Machinery Towing
Moving heavy equipment requires the right truck, secure loading methods and an experienced operator. East Coast Bays Towing & Salvage provides professional machinery towing for construction equipment, agricultural machinery and commercial vehicles.
From compact site equipment to larger machines, we can arrange safe transport across Auckland and to destinations throughout the North Island.
Reliable Machinery Transport
Heavy machinery cannot always be moved safely using a standard trailer or towing setup. Its weight, dimensions, condition and loading requirements must all be considered before transport begins.
Our team has experience transporting machinery for contractors, tradespeople, farmers, equipment suppliers and private owners. We assess each job carefully and select suitable equipment based on the type of machine, collection point and delivery location.
Whether you need digger transport between construction sites or assistance moving a machine that no longer operates, our team can provide a practical transport solution.
Equipment We Can Transport
Contact our team with the machine type, approximate size and collection details so we can determine the most suitable transport option.
Diggers and Excavators
We provide digger transport for construction, drainage, landscaping and earthmoving equipment. Our team can collect machines from worksites, storage yards, private properties and equipment dealerships.
Our excavator transport service can be used for moving machines between projects, delivering newly purchased equipment or relocating machinery for repairs and maintenance.
For customers operating throughout Auckland, diggers can be transported between sites with loading requirements planned in advance.
Forklifts
Forklifts are heavy, compact machines that require careful positioning and secure restraint during transport. We offer forklift transport for warehouses, workshops, factories, construction sites and commercial properties.
Our team can help relocate operational forklifts as well as machines that have broken down or cannot be driven onto standard transport equipment.
Businesses across Auckland can arrange forklift collection and delivery between worksites, storage facilities, service centres and commercial premises.
Tractors and Agricultural Equipment
Our tractor transport service is suitable for farms, lifestyle blocks, equipment dealers and contractors. We can assist with transporting tractors for purchases, repairs, seasonal work or relocation between properties.
We can also discuss transport for compatible agricultural attachments and other heavy equipment.
Bobcats and Compact Machinery
We provide bobcat transportation for compact loaders and similar site machinery. These machines are commonly moved between construction, excavation, demolition and landscaping projects.
Although compact, Bobcats still require suitable loading equipment and secure restraint to prevent movement during transport.
Construction and Commercial Equipment
We can also assist with transporting:
- Rollers and compactors
- Small loaders
- Access equipment
- Generators and compressors
- Site machinery
- Workshop equipment
- Non-operational machinery
- Other heavy commercial equipment
Machinery Transport for Different Situations
Our machinery transport service can help with:
- Moving equipment between worksites
- Delivering machinery purchased from a dealer or private seller
- Transporting equipment to a workshop for repairs
- Collecting machinery that has broken down
- Relocating equipment between commercial premises
- Moving machines into or out of storage
- Transporting agricultural equipment between properties
- Delivering machinery sold to a new owner
We can also assess difficult access, uneven ground and machinery that cannot move under its own power.
How Machinery Towing Works
Tell Us About the Machine
Provide the make, model, approximate weight and dimensions where possible. Let us know whether the machine starts, steers and moves under its own power.
Confirm the Collection and Delivery Details
We assess access at both locations, including driveways, gates, ground conditions and any space restrictions that may affect loading.
We Arrange Suitable Transport Equipment
The truck and loading method are selected according to the machinery being moved and the conditions at the site.
The Machinery Is Loaded and Secured
Our operator positions the equipment carefully and secures it for transport using appropriate restraints.
We Deliver It to the Agreed Location
The machine is transported to the worksite, workshop, property, storage yard or other agreed destination.
Transporting Machinery That Does Not Operate
Not every machine can be driven onto a truck. Equipment may have mechanical damage, electrical faults, flat tyres, seized components or accident damage that prevents normal loading.
East Coast Bays Towing & Salvage has specialist winching and towing capabilities that may allow us to recover and load machinery that cannot operate under its own power.
Providing accurate information about the machine’s condition helps us prepare the correct equipment before arriving.
