A vehicle transportation apparatus 2 (e.g. trailer) comprises wheels 12 on axle(s), a platform 11 for receiving a vehicle (e.g. a mini excavator machine), and one or more retaining means 1 (e.g. cowls) for securing a vehicle. The height and/or longitudinal position of the retaining means is adjustable relative to the platform, and/or longitudinal position of wheel axle(s) is adjustable relative to the platform. A calibrated scale (5, figures 2, 3) may allow cowls 1 to be adjusted based on known size of excavator tracks. The retaining means 1 may be provided with an end plate 13 to arrest longitudinal movement of a vehicle, a top plate 14 to restrict or prevent upward motion of excavator tracks, and a side plate 15 to prevent lateral movement. The retaining means and platform brackets (16, figure 4), 17 may comprise spaced holes (8, figure 1) and/or extending slots 3 for attachment by fasteners 4 (e.g. nuts and bolts). The wheel axles may comprise brackets 20 for wheel 12 position adjustment relative to the platform in accordance with centre of gravity of the excavator machine. The brackets 20 may be fixed at longitudinally spaced holes 19, 21 or slots on the chassis 10.
