Need to transport equipment in Canberra? We’re equipped to handle towing for equipment up to 4.5 tonnes. From small construction machinery to industrial tools, we’ll ensure safe and timely machinery and equipment transport across Canberra and Queanbeyan.

What We Tow

Our fleet and operators are set up to manage a variety of light machinery and site equipment commonly used across construction, maintenance and industrial projects, including:

Scissor Lift Towing

We provide dedicated scissor lift towing in Canberra for access equipment that needs to be moved safely between worksites. Each lift is secured correctly to prevent movement during transport and minimise downtime on site.

Excavator and Bobcat Transport

Compact earthmoving equipment is no problem for our team. We handle bobcat towing in Canberra as well as excavator transport in Canberra, ensuring machines are loaded, secured and delivered without unnecessary handling or delays.

Forklift Towing

Forklifts often need to be relocated between warehouses, yards or job sites. Our towing setup allows for controlled loading and unloading, protecting both the machine and surrounding property.

Generators and Other Site Equipment

From portable generators to specialised tools and plant equipment, we transport a wide range of machinery used on active job sites. Where access is tight, we can coordinate with related services such as underground carpark towing to safely remove or deliver equipment from low-clearance locations.

On-Time, Safe and Fully Insured Machinery Transport

We understand that delays can affect schedules and costs. That’s why every machinery tow is planned carefully, with clear communication from pickup to drop-off. Our operators follow strict loading and securing procedures, and we’re fully insured, including On-Hook insurance, to protect your equipment while it’s in our care. You can trust that your machinery will arrive safely, securely and on time.

Absolutely would recommend! I was provided with absolute care and friendly service from the owner and the driver of the tow truck. To top this off, they were affordable and went the extra mile to help me.
What a pleasure doing business with you and your team. Thank you!

On one of the hottest afternoons of January 2026 (40+°C) Josh rescued me and my vehicle from Kurringa Drive in Spence. It was a Saturday 5pm. Josh was quick to arrive, professional and communicated perfectly with me. My vehicle was transferred to my requested drop off point without fuss. Unfortunately I cannot comment on cost as the tow was booked through Budget Roadside Assist. I will certainly use this provider again if I am in need of this type of service. Thanks Josh!

Absolutely brilliant service. They were so careful with my car and I've never had such an amazing towing experience ever; especially since my car is so low.

Friendly obliging owner and professional service. Having hit a kangaroo at night we decided to leave our car and get a lift; there was no issue with having our car retrieved the next day and we did not need to go along. Price quite reasonable.

Highly recommend. My car was stuck on the third level of the car park in my apartment building. The car park is narrow, low clearance, with steep ramps. I thought it might be impossible to get a tow out of there. But they were there within 30mins of making a phone call. I’m still not sure how they managed to navigate the tricky car park. A really professional service. Incredible value, especially as it was an emergency after hours job.
