Transporting a Tiny Home, portable building, modular home, caravan, motorhome, bus or coach is very different from towing an ordinary trailer. The size, weight, height, construction, running gear and condition of the vehicle or structure all need to be considered before it is moved on public roads.
In our latest video, Red Tow looks at a Tiny Home transport job where several structural and running-gear concerns required careful consideration and a backup transport plan. The video highlights why the tow coupling, drawbar, chassis, axles, suspension, brakes, wheels and overall construction need to be suitable for the weight and stresses involved in road transport.
Tiny Homes and portable buildings can vary enormously. Some are purpose-built for road transport, while others are effectively buildings that have been placed on a trailer or chassis. Before moving one, Red Tow considers important factors including overall dimensions, weight, height, wheel and axle condition, access to the property, whether the structure can legally be towed and whether it needs to be transported on a specialist trailer or heavy recovery tow truck.
Red Tow also provides specialist transport for caravans, large motorhomes, campervans, buses, coaches and converted buses. Depending on the condition and configuration, these vehicles may be suitable for underlift towing, SuperTilt transport, winching onto a tilt-deck trailer or other specialist recovery and transport methods.
Portable buildings, site offices, cabins, modular buildings and shipping containers can also require specialist equipment. Red Tow operates SuperTilt trailers, heavy recovery tow trucks, crane trucks and other specialist equipment for difficult loading, transport, relocation and positioning work.
For Tiny Homes and portable buildings, height is particularly important. Access, overhead clearances, road conditions and the final delivery location all need to be considered before transport begins. Some projects may also require crane lifting or specialised positioning once the structure reaches its destination.
Whether you are moving a Tiny Home to a new property, relocating a portable building, transporting a caravan or motorhome, recovering a bus or coach, or moving a converted bus for use as alternative accommodation, proper planning can prevent expensive problems and transport delays.
Red Tow provides specialist Tiny Home, portable building, caravan, motorhome, bus and coach transport throughout Melbourne, regional Victoria and interstate.
