Portable Building Transport Brisbane
Portable and modular buildings — site offices, dongas, classrooms, transportable homes and modular commercial units — are wide, tall and awkward. A standard transportable is around 3.0–3.5 metres wide and over 3.5 metres high, which puts most moves into oversize territory from the start. We plan portable building transport around the unit's width and height, the site access and the route clearances, so the building arrives in one piece and on time.
What we move
Site offices and amenity blocks, transportable classrooms, modular homes, granny flats, ablution blocks, switch-room buildings and large modular commercial units. We move from manufacturers (often around Yatala, Caboolture and the Brisbane southern belt) to sites across SEQ.
Trailer matching
Most transportables suit a low loader or an extendable drop deck depending on length and height. The low deck helps with the 3.5m+ overall height, and the extendable deck handles long modular units. Wide buildings over 3.5m need a permit and usually a pilot.
Permit and escort
Width over 2.5m and height over 4.3m both trigger a permit — and most transportables hit both. Width 3.0–3.5m typically needs a permit and one pilot; over 3.5m the escort and route requirements step up. We check overhead clearances on the route, especially under bridges and at the site entry.
Site access
Portable building delivery is as much about the site as the road. We check the access — overhead power lines, narrow lanes, tight turns and the final placement position — before we quote. Many deliveries need the building tilted or skated into position, which we plan with the site.

Send the building dimensions and weight, the manufacturer-to-site route and any site access constraints. We'll match the trailer, plan the permit and give you a free quote for your move.
Frequently asked questions
What transportable buildings do you move?
Site offices and amenity blocks, transportable classrooms, modular homes, granny flats, ablution blocks, switch-room buildings and large modular commercial units.
Are transportables always oversize?
Most are — a standard transportable is around 3.0–3.5m wide and over 3.5m high, which puts most moves into oversize territory from the start. We check overhead clearances on the route and at the site entry.
Can you place the building on site?
We plan the final placement — checking overhead power lines, narrow lanes, tight turns and the placement position. Many deliveries need the building tilted or skated into position, which we plan with the site.
Do portable buildings need a pilot?
Width 3.0–3.5m typically needs a permit and one pilot; over 3.5m the escort and route requirements step up. We handle the permit and pilot plan.
How do I get a quote?
Send the building dimensions and weight, the manufacturer-to-site route and any site access constraints. We'll match the trailer, plan the permit and give you a free quote. Call 0489 953 607 or use the quote form.
