September 2021, our team made the 5 day, 1,200km Journey from Collinsville Qld to Kumbarilla Park Qld, transporting a Large Power Transformer (LPT).
When transporting an LPT, there are requirements that need to be met, obtaining permits & submitting routes for approval from the governing body of the roads in that state. Obtaining these permits requires infrastructure inspections of bridges & other obstacles along the way.In this case RJA had to obey bridge compliances of only 2 trucks to be hooked to the load whilst crossing, to ensure the load fell within the weight compliance of these specified structures.
