Trucks and Transport hire Australia
Transport and truck hire links everything else: plant floats, material haulage and water supply often decide how productive a site is.
What trucks and transport can you hire?
Trucks and Transport Hire in Australia covers a range of machine types and sizes. These are the most commonly hired, and what each is typically used for:
| Machine | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Tipper trucks & truck-and-dog | Spoil removal, quarry product and bulk material haulage |
| Water carts | Dust suppression, compaction moisture and haul road maintenance |
| Plant floats & low-loaders | Moving excavators, dozers, rollers and cranes between sites |
| Tilt trays & beavertails | Smaller plant, site sheds and containers |
| Articulated dump trucks | Off-road haulage on earthworks and mine sites |
| Site dumpers | Short-distance material movement on tight sites |
Before you request a quote
A useful enquiry tells the supplier what has to be achieved, where the equipment will work and what could change the selection. Include dimensions, quantities, material conditions, dates, the delivery route, unloading area and any site compliance requirements.
Compare offers on the complete configuration: machine, attachments, operator (for wet or dry hire), transport both ways, minimum hours, fuel and return conditions. See how to read a plant hire quote.
Selection factors
Three things that change the answer.
Road versus off-road
On-road trucks need registration and licensing. ADTs and dumpers suit unsealed haul roads.
Permits and route
Over-dimension floats may need permits, pilots and route planning, especially outside metro areas.

FAQ
Trucks and Transport hire questions.
Can I hire a tipper with a driver?
Yes. Most tipper and truck-and-dog hire is wet hire with a driver, charged hourly with a minimum.
What is a water cart used for?
Water carts control dust, condition fill to the right moisture for compaction and maintain haul roads, which is often a condition of site environmental approvals.
How is float hire charged?
Usually by the hour or per movement, with extra charges for permits, pilots, tolls and waiting time.
What licence does a tipper need?
It depends on the vehicle's mass. Many tippers need an MR or HR licence, and truck-and-dog combinations need HC.
