Side-Loader Container Transport across Australia
A side-loader carries its own crane, lifting a container off the truck and placing it at the kerb — ideal where there’s no forklift, crane or wharf access at either end.
HaulMatch connects you with carriers with visible verification status who move 20ft and 40ft containers needing kerbside self-loading. Post your load with the details that matter and compare competitive quotes — it's free to post and free to compare.

Heavy haulage & permits
Oversize / overmass permits
Heavy haulage like this can exceed general limits (about 2.5 m wide, 4.3 m high or 42.5 t). If it does, it needs an NHVR Class 1 (OSOM) permit, applied for through NHVR Go. Give carriers accurate dimensions and weight so they can quote any permit and escort costs.
