What We Move

Machinery Transport Backed by Published Trailer Specs

EQP AXIS moves heavy equipment and industrial machinery across Dubai and all seven Emirates for contractors, equipment rental fleets, dealers, and industrial plants. Whether it is one excavator between sites or a full fleet mobilisation, the job is the same: get the machine there without a permit problem or a damaged load.

Capacity runs to 150 tons net cargo weight on the 6-axle lowbed with its extension fitted. Every figure we publish is the trailer's authorised net cargo weight — the machine, excluding truck and trailer — because that is the number you actually need to check your machine against.

The service is full-service by default. Trailer, prime mover, and driver are always included; permits, escorts, convoy arrangement, and height and bridge-clearance route checks are arranged in-house rather than handed to a third party.

Equipment We Transport

Excavators & Bulldozers

Tracked machines drive onto the deck under their own power up the rear ramps, then get chained down at the machine’s own lashing points. Track width and overall height decide the trailer — a machine that clears the yard gate can still breach legal travel height once the deck is under it, which is the check worth making before booking rather than after.

Wheel Loaders, Rollers & Pavers

Wheeled plant is quicker to load than tracked machines but needs more attention to rolling restraint — wheels have to be chocked and the machine braked and secured against movement in both directions. Rollers and pavers are usually straightforward moves once the operating weight is confirmed.

Mobile Cranes & Piling Rigs

Crane bodies, boom sections, and counterweights normally travel as a coordinated multi-vehicle move. We sequence the loads so the crane can be rebuilt on site in the right order rather than arriving as a pile of parts. This is crane relocation — moving your crane — rather than crane hire.

Transformers & Generators

Dense, high-value units where most of the weight sits in a small footprint. These need calculated placement over the axle groups rather than centre-of-deck positioning, and slower transit through built-up areas. Access at both ends usually matters more than the road distance — a transformer is only as movable as the tightest turn on the route.

Rigid Dump Trucks & Plant Equipment

Articulated and rigid dump trucks, crushers, screeners, and yard plant moving between sites or back to the yard between contracts. For fleet mobilisations we run trailers in sequence so a site is stood up in one window instead of across several days.

Boats & Yachts by Road

Marina-to-yard and yard-to-marina moves by road, where hull dimensions rather than weight usually drive the trailer choice and the permit position. Send the length, beam, and cradle arrangement and we will confirm what the move needs.

How a Machine Move Works

  1. 1

    Send the load details

    Machine make and model, operating weight, overall dimensions, and both locations. Photos help more than descriptions when access is tight.

  2. 2

    Trailer selection & route check

    We match the axle configuration to the weight and run a height and bridge-clearance check on the route before anything is committed.

  3. 3

    Permits & escorts arranged

    If the load is over-dimension, RTA and police permits and escort vehicles are arranged in-house rather than passed to a third party.

  4. 4

    Loading, transport & delivery

    Loading and lashing at collection, transport on the agreed route, and offload support at delivery — including ramp offloading for self-propelled machines.

Heavy Equipment Transport FAQs

What is the heaviest machine you can move?

Up to 150 tons net cargo weight on the 6-axle lowbed with its 2-axle extension fitted, and 130 tons net on the fixed axles alone. The 4-axle trailer covers machines up to 100 tons net. Those figures are cargo weight only — they exclude the truck and trailer.

Does the machine need to be prepared before collection?

Have it accessible, able to be driven or lifted onto the deck, and with attachments either secured or removed. Booms should be lowered and any loose buckets or counterweights separated so they can be secured individually. If the machine cannot move under its own power, tell us before the trailer is dispatched — that changes both the trailer and the loading method.

Do wide excavators need a permit?

Once the machine plus trailer exceeds the legal width, height, length or weight envelope, it needs RTA authorisation before it can travel. We arrange those permits and any police escort in-house, and we run a height and bridge-clearance check on the route first. Send the track width and overall height and we will tell you whether a permit applies.

Can you collect machinery from Jebel Ali Port?

Yes. Port collection is regular work — we take the machine off the terminal and deliver it to your site or yard. Your clearing agent handles customs; we are the road leg from the gate onward.

Can you move a machine between emirates on the same day?

We respond to every enquiry the same day and WhatsApp reaches a dispatcher fastest. Whether the move itself happens same-day depends on trailer availability and whether the load needs a permit or escort, which we confirm once we have the weight and dimensions.

How much does heavy equipment transport cost in Dubai?

It depends on distance, machine weight, overall dimensions, permit requirements, and whether an escort is needed. Those variables move the number too much for a published rate to be honest. Send the machine details on WhatsApp and you will have a quote the same day.
