Darwin Transport Services
Moving freight across the Northern Territory isn’t your average delivery job. Long distances, remote sites, oversized loads, and tight schedules are all part of the challenge—and that’s exactly where we shine. At Cohen’s Towing & Transport, we provide transport services built specifically for NT conditions. Based in Darwin and covering everywhere from Alice Springs to Katherine and beyond, we’ve got the trucks, trailers, and know-how to move vehicles, equipment, and freight safely and efficiently.
Whether you need a tilt tray for a single vehicle or a step deck semi for heavy machinery, we’ve got the setup that fits. No job is too big or remote—just give us a call on (08) 8984 3803 and we’ll get your transport sorted without the stress.
Freight Done Right, Wherever You Are
Transport isn’t just about loading and driving—it’s about planning, precision, and making sure your goods arrive in perfect condition. We take care of every part of the job, from securing freight correctly to mapping out the most efficient route. Our fleet includes tilt trays, flat tops, and road train setups, and we regularly move everything from commercial equipment and farm gear to construction supplies and cars.
Need help with paperwork or permits for oversized loads? We’ve got that covered too. Our goal is simple: deliver what you need, where you need it, without drama or delays. If you’re looking for reliable transport services across the NT, reach out to our experienced and helpful team today—we’ll make the move easy.
What types of transport services are available for heavy equipment?
Transport services for heavy equipment typically include tilt tray trucks, step deck semis, flat top trailers, and low loaders. The right option depends on the size, weight, and dimensions of the machinery. Tilt trays are ideal for smaller plant and equipment like skid steers or ride-on mowers, while step deck semis are better suited for tall or bulky items such as excavators or generators. Low loaders are often used for ultra-heavy freight and earthmoving gear due to their low centre of gravity and easy loading access. It’s important to choose a transport provider with experience in securing and moving heavy equipment safely, especially over long distances or into remote areas.
How do I transport a non-running vehicle or machinery?
Non-running vehicles or machinery can be safely transported using a tilt tray truck or trailer with a winch system. These setups allow for easy loading of inoperable units by tilting the tray to ground level and using winches or hydraulic lifts to pull the vehicle or equipment on board. Once secured with chains and straps, the load is transported to its destination without needing it to be driven. This method is especially useful for vehicles involved in accidents, broken-down farm machinery, or equipment being relocated for repairs. Be sure to provide accurate weight and dimension details before booking, so the right gear can be arranged.
What is the difference between general freight and specialised transport?
General freight refers to standard goods that don’t require special handling, permits, or transport setups—such as boxed goods, pallets, or light equipment. These are typically moved using standard flatbeds, enclosed trucks, or trailers and follow regular freight routes. Specialised transport, on the other hand, involves items that are oversized, fragile, valuable, or require specific vehicles and knowledge. Examples include transporting heavy machinery, hazardous goods, or urgent deliveries that need hotshot service. Specialised transport often involves custom logistics planning, experienced operators, and compliance with strict safety and legal standards.
