Plant & Machinery Transport in Kings Heath — FAQ
How much does plant transport cost?
A mini-digger locally typically costs £80–£200. Larger excavators, forklifts or long-distance moves range £200–£600+. Weight, width and whether the machine is a runner all affect the price.
What size machines can be transported?
From 0.8t micro-diggers up to machines requiring low-loaders. State the make, model, weight and dimensions when posting so drivers can bring a suitably plated trailer.
Does the machine need to be running?
It helps — runners can be driven on and off the trailer. Non-runners can still be moved but may need winching, so flag this when posting so the driver brings a winch.
Are abnormal loads handled?
Machines over standard width or weight may count as abnormal loads needing notification and escorts. Experienced plant drivers will advise and factor this into the quote — give accurate dimensions.
How is the machinery secured?
With load-rated chains and ratchet straps over the chassis and tracks or wheels, following road transport regulations. Reputable drivers carry the correct rated equipment.
What details should I include when posting?
Machine type, make/model, weight, width and height, whether it is a runner, and the access at both the collection and delivery sites (ground type, gradient, gateway width).
