As a specialist in heavy haulage across Victoria, EWP Transport’s fleet of Semi-trailers and Float (Low Loader) trailers offers essential logistical solutions, particularly for the construction, infrastructure, and equipment hire sectors based in Melbourne.
Our Semi-trailer fleet provides the high-capacity backbone for long-distance transport across Victoria, suitable for moving substantial loads like multiple service trucks or large, road-registered plant equipment.
The Float or Low Loader Trailer is the cornerstone for transporting oversized and heavy access equipment. These trailers feature a low deck height, which is crucial for keeping the overall load height within legal road limits, especially when transporting tall items like Elevating Work Platforms (EWPs).
The types of items ideally suited for transport via a Float trailer include:
Large Machinery Items: This encompasses heavy construction equipment such as excavators, skid steer loaders, bulldozers, graders, rollers, and large generators. The low deck facilitates easy loading via ramps for self-propelled machinery.
Large Access Equipment: This is a primary focus, including Boom Lifts (articulated and telescopic), Scissor Lifts (rough terrain and electric), and Vehicle-Mounted Cranes/Bucket Trucks. The low profile is vital for these tall units.
Specialised Plant & Equipment: This can extend to drill rigs, crushing and screening plants, and pre-fabricated site huts or containers. Any item deemed too tall, too wide, or too heavy for a standard flatbed truck requires the specialized stability and load capacity of a float.
The key advantage of the Float deck is its ability to accommodate oversized heights safely by lowering the centre of gravity close to the road, while the Semi-trailer component (the prime mover and its associated axles) provides the necessary mass capacity for the heaviest loads found in Victorian infrastructure projects.
Operating throughout Melbourne and servicing all of Victoria, this specialized combination ensures that high-value, often non-roadworthy, assets are relocated safely, securely, and in compliance with stringent transport regulations.
