Project Logistics & Capabilities

Having the right trailers is only half the job. We specialize in end-to-end heavy haulage project management. From comprehensive route surveys and multi-agency permit approvals to crane lifting and port coordination, we handle the complex logistics so your project stays on schedule.

A Proven Process for Complex Loads

We provide comprehensive services from pre-planning to execution. When you engage National Heavy Haulage, we manage every link in the logistics chain to ensure safe, viable, and efficient delivery anywhere in Australia.

Route Surveys & Engineering

We conduct detailed route surveys utilizing GPS and our most experienced supervisors. We identify infrastructure restrictions, provide detailed cost estimates, and supply full AutoCAD lift drawings.

Authority Liaison & Permits

Oversize loads require multi-agency coordination. We handle all direct liaison with the Police, Department of Transport, local councils, and electrical authorities to secure necessary permits.

Escort & Execution

Using specialized trailers up to 200-tonne capacity, our expert operators execute the move. All NHH trucks feature live satellite tracking, providing clients with daily verbal and digital progress reports.

Site & Port Discharge

We survey final project sites to ensure safe unloading environments. For international freight, we coordinate directly with shippers and wharf staff to discharge massive assets directly from the vessel.

Specialised Heavy Haulage Fleet

Our state-of-the-art vehicles are built specifically for complex hauls, heavy projects, and extreme tasks. We operate specialised trailers with up to a 200-tonne capacity, deployed anywhere across Australia.

Our transport capabilities include:

  • Low Loaders: Built for extreme payloads up to 200-tonne capacity.
  • Drop Decks: Standard and extendable variations with ramps.

Backed by the National Group

National Heavy Haulage is a proud member of the National Group. Through our unified supply chain, clients can seamlessly rent or purchase top-tier mining and earthmoving equipment from our sister entities, rely on us to transport it to site, and have it safely lifted into position. Our combined group capabilities mean you only deal with one trusted supplier for your equipment hire, transport, and heavy lifting needs.

Integrated Heavy Lifting & Crane

By managing the cranes alongside the transport, we save our clients time and money while guaranteeing safe, synchronized operations at both the loading and discharge sites.

We coordinate and supply:

  • Franna Cranes: 15t to 25t for quick, mobile site operations.
  • All-Terrain Cranes: Up to 300t capacity for positioning heavy plant.
  • Crawler Cranes: 80t to 1000t available for complex lifts.
  • Engineering Support: In-depth AutoCAD lift plans provided.

Wharf & Port Coordination

Importing or exporting oversized assets requires precise timing. Delays at the port can result in massive holding fees and logistical bottlenecks. We specialize in smoothing this transition.

Our logistics team works directly on the tarmac and inside port boundaries. We liaise with stevedores, shipping agents, and port authorities to safely discharge massive freight directly from vessels onto our awaiting 200t-capacity trailers, or temporarily stage it at secure NHH yards.
