Transport

When it comes to the seamless transportation of machinery, asphalt and profiling products, Elite Roads leads the way with our top-tier fleet of prime mover trucks and live body trailers. We understand the critical role that efficient and reliable transport plays in constructing and maintaining road infrastructure. That’s why we’re committed to providing exceptional transport services that ensure your materials and fleet arrive on time and in perfect condition.

Our state-of-the-art construction trucks

At Elite Roads, we take pride in our fleet of modern prime mover trucks, live body trailers and float trucks that are used for machinery transportation. Our live body trailers are designed to handle the unique demands of transporting asphalt and profiling products to and from job sites. Our prime movers are equipped with the latest technology, ensuring optimal performance and reliability on every job.

They hold mass management accreditation, which is obtained through The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR). The NHVR is responsible for regulating and enforcing heavy vehicles' mass, dimension and loading requirements on Australian roads.

In Australia, heavy vehicles cannot carry more than a certain amount of weight. If you want to exceed this, you need to ensure you are accredited to do so. Therefore, a mass management system must be in place — this is proof of commitment to safe practices.

These requirements ensure the safety of all road users and protect infrastructure, such as bridges and roads. To achieve this, the NHVR has established national standards for these requirements, including maximum vehicle dimensions, maximum gross vehicle mass (GVM), maximum axle load limits and weight distribution requirements.

Why our fleet of prime mover trucks and live body trailers stand out

  • Advanced technology for better results
    Our prime mover trucks offer the latest safety features and compelling projected fuel efficiency numbers while maintaining the horsepower Elite Roads requires — generally 530hp. The vehicles prioritise the well-being of our drivers, with front and rear disc brakes with EBS, ABS and AEBS, Protective Cab Mounting System, Side Camera System and Reverse Warning.

    Active warning systems and incident mitigation are also impressively integrated with adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning systems and vehicle stability control. In addition, LED headlights and tail lamps provide further protection for drivers, on-site workers and other road users.

  • Superior capacity

    The Elite Roads fleet has mass management accreditation, which allows for improved productivity and efficiency. We can safely and legally cart larger loads of product to and from job sites, saving on cartage time and the number of trips, which cuts down transport costs. This reduces customer rejection of vehicles due to overloading.

    Our brand new live body trailers — fitted with the newest and best industry technology — ensure the mix maintains its required hot temperature. This means our crew can work all year round without worrying about the asphalt mix cooling down below the required temperature for laying.

  • Robust performance
    Built to endure the rigours of heavy-duty transport, our prime mover trucks are reliable and durable. They are maintained to the highest standards to ensure consistent performance, reducing the risk of delays due to mechanical issues. Our machinery transportation trucks work around the clock to ensure our equipment is ready to go before starting a job, preventing unwanted delays.

Expert drivers for a smooth journey

Our team of experienced drivers is the backbone of our transport services. Trained to handle the complexities of asphalt transport and machinery logistics, they navigate routes with precision and care. Our fleets are tracked via our GPS tracking system, which offers real-time updates to our clients on ETA's and fleet movements when required. This, coupled with the expertise of our drivers, ensures that your materials are delivered safely and on schedule, no matter the distance or conditions.

Commitment to safety

Safety is a core value at Elite Roads. We adhere to strict safety protocols and regularly train our drivers to handle any situation that may arise during transport. We also use strict fatigue management processes to keep our drivers well-rested and on the ball. Our prime mover trucks are routinely inspected and maintained to meet all safety regulations and the rigorous mass management standards needed to secure our mass management accreditation — providing you with peace of mind that your materials and machinery are in good hands.

FAQs

  • At Elite Roads, our live bottom trailers are specifically designed to offer hauling versatility, carrying hot mix asphalt, sand, gravel, recycled materials, low slump concrete and aggregates small and large; the one trailer does it all. With their wide belt and no slats to break, bend or wear, along with the twin product doors that eliminate segregation, our trailers allow loads to discharge in mass — while the operator has a full view of the position of the load.

    The trailers are also designed with insulated walls, which aim to maintain the optimal temperature of the asphalt, slowing down cooling and hardening during transit. This meticulous approach guarantees the highest quality asphalt is delivered and ready for efficient application.

  • Our machinery transportation drivers are highly experienced with transporting large road construction machinery. They understand the demands of project deadlines and know how to safely deliver and collect your machinery from the job site without the hassle.

    Float on and off with ease and peace of mind. Working in conjunction with our programming team, our crew can rely on having the right tools and machinery in place, minimising delays and facilitating a smooth start to each job. This 24/7 operational approach guarantees that our paving projects commence on time and proceed efficiently.
