Our Fleet

Purpose-Built for Precision, Safety & Power

Tight access? No dramas.
The Right Gear For The Job

At McDonald Contracting, we don’t just move houses, we engineer every move with precision. Our specialised fleet features cutting-edge hydraulic trailers and equipment, custom-built by TRT, trusted leaders in trailer manufacturing

Our custom-built fleet is designed for tight access, heavy haulage, and high-clearance transport. Whether your site has steep slopes, narrow laneways, or restricted access, our machines are up to the task.

If we can’t go wider, we go higher—our specialised trailers offer up to 3.0 metres of lift to safely clear obstacles like fences, trees, and driveways. With 5-axle electronic steering systems that pivot within their own radius, we manoeuvre where others can’t.
