Whether it’s an excavator between job sites, a bobcat to a new project, or a forklift to the workshop, NewLake Tow Trucks has the tilt trays and experience to transport your equipment safely across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast, and the wider Hunter Region.

Available 7 days a week, we keep your equipment, and your project timeline, moving.

Equipment We Transport

Our machinery transport service covers a wide range of plant and equipment, including:

Excavators

From mini-excavators to larger diggers, transported securely on our tilt trays.

Bobcats & skid-steer loaders

Compact and versatile, and a regular on our trucks for site-to-site moves.

Forklifts

Warehouse and yard forklifts moved safely between locations or to the workshop.

Mini-loaders & compact plant

Posi-tracks, dingo-style loaders, and other compact machinery.

Other wheeled & tracked machinery

Got something else? If it fits on a tilt tray and can be loaded or winched, we can likely move it. Give us a call and we'll confirm.

When you request a quote, let us know whether the machine drives on, needs winching, or isn’t operational, it helps us send the right truck and give you an accurate price.

How Machinery Transport Works

Moving plant and equipment takes more than just a truck, it takes the right loading approach and secure tie-down. Here’s how we handle it:

  1. Get a quote. Tell us the type of machinery, rough weight and dimensions, whether it can load itself or needs winching, and whether it’s operational. Add your pickup and drop-off addresses and we’ll work out an estimate.
  2. We match the right truck. Machinery varies enormously in weight and size, so we make sure the right tilt tray turns up for your load.
  3. We load and secure. Machines that drive can be loaded under their own power; those that can’t are winched on. Everything is strapped and chained down properly for safe transport.
  4. We deliver to site. Your equipment arrives where it needs to be, unloaded safely and ready to go.

Site Access & What to Have Ready

Machinery moves go smoothly when we know what we’re walking into. Before we arrive, it helps to know:

Not sure on the details? Call us and we’ll talk it through, we’d rather get it right before we leave the yard.
