Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is machinery float hire and how does it work?

    Machinery float hire involves renting a heavy-duty trailer (called a “float”) to transport large or oversized equipment such as excavators, tractors or loaders. These floats are towed by suitable trucks and managed by experienced operators who ensure the machinery is secured, transported legally and delivered safely to the destination.

  • What types of equipment can be moved using a float?

    Floats are commonly used to transport construction machinery like skid steers, excavators, graders and bulldozers. They're also used for agricultural vehicles such as tractors and harvesters, as well as industrial equipment. If the machine is large, heavy or can’t be driven on roads, float hire is the ideal transport solution.

  • Do I need permits for float transport?

    Permit requirements depend on the size and weight of the machinery being moved. In many cases, especially with oversized loads, permits are necessary to comply with road safety and transport regulations. Reputable float hire services will typically manage these permits and ensure everything is in line with transport rules before the job begins.
