Widening
drop-decks.

Over-width plant and modular buildings on adjustable decks — hydraulically widened to fit the load, kept low to the deck, and run under permit with pilots managed end to end.

What it carries

Built for the loads that won't fit a standard float

When a machine or structure runs wider than a fixed deck can legally carry, the widening drop-deck flares out to support it across its full footprint — no overhang riding on packing, no compromise on tie-down. It is the rig we reach for when the load itself is the problem.

Wide dozer being loaded

Wide dozers & graders

Tracked dozers and motor graders that exceed 2.5m across the blade, fully supported on the widened deck.

Modular transportable building

Modular buildings

Transportable site offices, ablution blocks and accommodation modules moved as a single over-width unit.

Industrial tank

Tanks & vessels

Large-diameter water, fuel and process tanks cradled low and wide for stable, low-height transport.

Oversize steel fabrication

Oversize fabrications

Steel frames, plant skids and fabricated assemblies too wide for a standard drop-deck or low-loader.

Capabilities

How we move it safely

Hydraulic deck widening

The deck flares hydraulically to match the load, so wide plant sits squarely on the bearers rather than overhanging the edge. Stable, properly supported, and fast to set up on site.

Low load height

A dropped deck keeps tall, wide loads under height limits — clearing bridges and overhead structures that would stop a standard flat-top trailer.

Permit & pilot management

We arrange over-width permits and accredited pilot vehicles end to end — including police escort coordination where the dimensions call for it — so the load is legal before it leaves the yard.

Route checks

Every over-width run is route-surveyed for width pinch-points, roundabouts and clearances before dispatch, with timing planned around traffic and curfew conditions.
