Volvo FM13 Prime Mover

The Volvo FM13 prime mover is Rigsafe's versatile workhorse for construction freight, project equipment transport, and heavy haulage operations across Perth and Western Australia.
Powered by Volvo's D13K engine delivering up to 500 horsepower and 2,500 Newton-metres of torque, the FM13 provides the performance and reliability required for the transport of crane components, construction plant, heavy machinery, and project materials across Perth's metropolitan area and into WA's regional and remote project locations.
The FM13's efficient powertrain and flexible cab configurations deliver strong payload capacity with reduced operational costs — making it the preferred choice for high-frequency construction transport, multi-project freight operations, and the regular movement of access equipment and plant across Rigsafe's project portfolio. Its manoeuvrability and compact carrier dimensions provide site access in the constrained environments of urban construction projects and industrial facilities without sacrificing haulage performance on regional WA highway runs.
Paired with Rigsafe's flat deck and drop deck trailer fleet, the Volvo FM13 delivers a complete, fully integrated transport solution for the movement of construction equipment, crane components, and project freight. Available for hire with an experienced operator across Perth and Western Australia.
Answers to help you scope, plan, and book the right support.
Transporting oversized loads on a semi truck requires careful planning of load distribution, axle weights and compliance with relevant transport regulations. Permit requirements and route restrictions must also be considered to ensure safe and legal movement. Rigsafe assesses all load and route details to confirm the correct configuration and ensure compliant transport execution.
Choosing the right truck or trailer depends on factors such as load weight, dimensions, access conditions, site constraints, ground conditions and delivery requirements. Rigsafe can review your transport needs and recommend the most suitable combination from our fleet, ensuring safe, efficient and compliant movement of materials and equipment.
Site conditions must be assessed prior to transport, including access width, turning space, surface stability, slope, overhead obstructions, underground services and ground bearing capacity. These factors help determine whether the selected truck or trailer can safely access the site and complete loading or unloading operations efficiently.
To prepare an accurate quote and mobilisation plan, Rigsafe may require details such as site location, project dates, load dimensions, weight, access conditions and any special transport requirements. This ensures the correct vehicle is selected and that permits, routing and logistics are properly coordinated.
