How do I prepare my machinery for towing?

Preparing your machinery for towing is an important step to ensure its safety and smooth transport. Start by inspecting the machinery for any loose or detachable components and secure them properly. It's also important to check all fluid levels, such as hydraulic fluids, oil and coolant, to ensure there are no leaks. Before towing, always ensure the machinery is in neutral gear and the parking brake is engaged to prevent unintended movements.

For machines equipped with batteries, consider disconnecting them to avoid accidental startups or potential electrical issues. If your machinery has specific operational requirements, make sure to provide our team with these details. This ensures we handle your equipment with the necessary care.
