What is DIGADOC®
DIGADOC® is a modular loading and securing system for compact tracked machinery on selected Ifor Williams GH plant trailers. Rather than relying on judgement alone to position a machine correctly, the system guides the tracks into place and helps the operator stop in the correct fore and aft position for balanced towing.
In simple terms, it is designed to reduce guesswork. That is a real benefit for businesses and operators who want loading to be quicker, more repeatable and easier to carry out with confidence.

How DIGADOC® works
As the machine is driven onto the trailer, adjustable DIGADOC® cowlings guide the tracks into alignment. Optional side guides can provide extra lateral control during loading, helping the machine stay centred as it climbs the bed. The machine then continues forward until it reaches the intended position for balanced towing.
Additional components can then help secure the machine during transport. A blade stop can be fitted to help prevent rearward movement, while the excavator arm retention kit helps hold the arm in place and reduce unwanted movement on the road.
- Controlled positioning. Helps place the machine in a repeatable loading position.
- Adjustable setup. Cowlings and components can be configured to suit different machinery dimensions.
- Heavy duty construction. Built from galvanised steel for durability in demanding working environments.
- Faster loading. Designed to reduce uncertainty and speed up the loading process.

Is DIGADOC® fully strapless
This is one of the biggest questions buyers will search for, so it needs a clear answer. DIGADOC® is only fully strapless when the excavator arm retention kit is specified.
That distinction matters. DIGADOC® is designed to reduce reliance on traditional tie down methods and make loading more intuitive, but it would be inaccurate to describe every DIGADOC® setup as fully strapless as standard.
- Standard DIGADOC® setup. Controlled positioning and guided loading.
- With arm retention kit. Enables a fully strapless setup for excavators.
- Best approach. Always check the exact trailer specification and intended machine before ordering.

Who DIGADOC® is for
DIGADOC® is designed for a wide range of users who transport compact tracked machinery regularly and want a safer, more repeatable loading process. It is particularly useful where consistency, efficiency and confidence matter more than simply getting the machine on the trailer.
It is likely to appeal most to:
- Plant hire companies that want quick, repeatable loading across multiple operators.
- Contractors who move compact tracked machinery regularly between sites.
- Utility and infrastructure fleets focused on safer loading procedures and standardisation.
- Owner-operators who want a more controlled and confidence-inspiring setup.
The system can also be a strong fit for businesses that want a more professional fleet presentation, as DIGADOC® cowlings can be customised with branding.
GH94 vs GH1054
If you are choosing between the GH94 and GH1054 DIGADOC® trailers, the main difference is size and carrying capacity.
The GH94 is the more compact option, making it a sensible choice for smaller compact machines and users who do not need the extra bed size or payload of the larger model.
The GH1054 is the larger option, which will usually suit buyers carrying larger compact machines or those wanting more room and carrying capacity on the bed.
- Choose GH94 if: you want a more compact trailer for smaller machinery.
- Choose GH1054 if: you need more space and payload for larger compact plant.
- Check before buying: machine dimensions, operating weight, towing vehicle limits, and how much flexibility you need day to day.

Questions to ask before ordering
Before choosing a DIGADOC® setup, the most sensible questions are not just about price. The right setup depends on the machine you are carrying, how often you transport it, and whether you want a ready base trailer or a fully fitted trailer.
- What machine am I transporting most often?
- Do I need a GH94 or a GH1054?
- Do I want a DIGADOC® ready base trailer or a fully fitted trailer?
- Will the excavator arm retention kit matter for the way I work?
- What are my towing vehicle limits and payload requirements?
DIGADOC® does not remove the need to get the full towing setup right. As with any trailer purchase, buyers should also check towing limits, legal requirements, maintenance needs and the correct specification for the machinery being transported.
