The Ultimate Guide to Heavy Haulage Transport Logistics

By Beau Knowles • January 27, 2026

Routine construction materials are easily handled by standard trucking fleets. But when you are dealing with cargo that is massive and cannot be taken apart, a standard truck isn't enough. This specific type of transport is the job of heavy haulage. It is the specialized solution for moving items that simply cannot be disassembled into smaller pieces, such as heavy mining machinery, expansive wind turbine blades, structural steel for civil infrastructure, and even entire prefabricated buildings. But moving these giants requires more than just a powerful engine. This article breaks down exactly where heavy haulage is applied, the operational methodology behind the transport, and the critical pre-planning decisions required before the wheels ever start turning. Below, we examine the specific logistics of how these massive loads are successfully navigated from point A to point B. Types of Heavy Haulage Trailers

Different Types of Cranes and Their Key Uses in Modern Construction

By Beau Knowles • January 27, 2026

In modern construction, a wide range of cranes are used, each designed for a specific lifting task. Some handle heavy steel beams, others position bridge components, and many move materials across complex sites. The design of every crane reflects its purpose; some remain fixed in place, such as tower cranes used on high-rise projects, while others provide full mobility and rapid setup, like mobile and crawler cranes used for infrastructure and civil works. Cranes today also integrate advanced safety systems, load-monitoring technology, and precise hydraulic control to improve efficiency and meet strict Australian lifting standards. With such a diverse fleet operating across commercial, industrial, mining, and infrastructure projects, selecting the right crane is critical to productivity and site safety. Knowles Cranes recognises the importance of understanding when and why each type of crane should be utilised. This guide offers a comprehensive overview of the primary construction cranes, their key functions, and the specific conditions under which they perform optimally. Classification of Cranes
