Plant transport
Plant transport & plant haulage
R & O Punchard moves construction plant and heavy equipment nationwide — from hire depots to live sites and back again. We match the trailer and crew to the machine so excavators, telehandlers, dumpers, rollers and tracked plant arrive ready to work.
What plant transport involves
Plant transport is the secure road movement of construction machinery and site equipment. That usually means loading at a yard or depot, restraining the machine for the journey, and delivering it to another site or facility on a planned schedule.
We handle plant machinery transport for hire companies, contractors and project teams who need reliable collection and delivery — not improvised last-minute arrangements. Every move is sized against weight, dimensions, tracks or wheels, and site access before we quote.
Typical plant & equipment we move
- Excavators and mini excavators
- Telehandlers and handlers
- Dumpers and rollers
- Tracked plant and site machinery
- Construction equipment between depots and sites
- Heavy equipment for hire turnarounds
