Resources & Compliance Information

---

At Walker Haulage, safety and compliance are at the heart of everything we do.
We stay up to date with Australian heavy vehicle standards, state transport permits, and load restraint laws to ensure every job is done right — and your machinery arrives safely.

This page provides helpful information and links for clients and contractors who need guidance on heavy transport requirements in Victoria and Australia.

All loads are transported under Australian Load Restraint Guidelines (NHVR), ensuring compliance with Chain of Responsibility (CoR) standards.
Our beavertail truck is equipped with heavy-duty tie-down systems, hydraulic ramps, and full restraint certification for safe machinery transport.

For larger loads, we can arrange oversize and wide load transport, including required permits and pilot vehicles.

Oversize Requirements in Victoria:

• Vehicles or loads wider than 2.5 m or longer than 12.5 m require permits
   
• All oversize transport must comply with visibility and signage rules (flags, oversize boards, amber lights)
   
• Pilot or escort vehicles may be required depending on route and dimensions

We recommend clients prepare their equipment before pickup to save time and ensure safe transport:

1. Remove loose attachments or secure them firmly.
    
2. Check for fluid leaks and clean down machinery.
    
3. Ensure access is clear for loading/unloading.
    
4. Provide accurate dimensions and weights when requesting a quote.
    
5. Communicate any special site conditions in advance (tight access, uneven ground, etc.).
