The service

What we handle

Every oversize movement is a moving part of a much bigger plan. We run the escort, talk to the authorities and clear the path so your load arrives without surprises.

Accredited pilot vehicles

Front and rear pilots with rotating beacons, signage and trained operators who hold current state accreditation for oversize escort work.

Police escort liaison

For the largest loads we book and brief police escorts, coordinate timing and keep the run moving through intersections and restricted sections.

Oversize & over-mass permits

We lodge and manage NHVR and state road-authority permit applications, including conditions, gazetted route notices and bridge approvals.

Route survey & planning

Pre-run surveys check clearances, swept paths, low bridges and tight corners so the route is proven before the trailer ever leaves the yard.

Night-run coordination

When permit conditions call for overnight travel, we schedule curfews, lighting and rest points so the load runs safely in low-traffic windows.

Traffic & access control

Pilots manage oncoming traffic, signal lane changes and warn motorists ahead of width and length, keeping everyone on the road safe.

Capabilities

Safe, compliant, moving

Pilot and escort isn't about a payload — it's about keeping an oversize load legal and the road safe at every metre. Three things drive everything we do.

01

Safety first

Trained pilots, fitted-out vehicles and clear communication with the prime mover. The load is watched the whole way, not just waved off at the gate.

02

NHVR compliance

Permits, accreditation and Chain of Responsibility obligations handled to the letter. The paperwork is right before the wheels turn.

03

Keep it moving

Surveyed routes and booked escorts mean fewer hold-ups, no last-minute permit knock-backs and a load that lands on schedule.
