A vehicle transportation apparatus 1 (e.g. trailer) for transporting a vehicle 2 (e.g. construction vehicle, such as a mini excavator digging machine). The apparatus 1 comprises a platform 3 for receiving the vehicle 2 and one or more equipment storage units for storing equipment, e.g. safety and traffic management equipment such as barriers, traffic cones 18, signs and posts. At least one of the storage units is an enclosure 6, 7 for stowing one or more barriers 10 and is arranged longitudinally with respect to the axis of the apparatus 1. The storage units and/or enclosures 6, 7 may be mounted on the platform 3 at a side of the vehicle 2. An access panel 11 for permitting and preventing unloading of the enclosure may be provided. At least one enclosure may comprise a first gate 15 for user access to a driver cab of the transported vehicle 2. Preferably, a lockable chain or a bar is provided for retaining the barriers 10 in the enclosure 6, 7. Since the equipment 10, 18 can arrive at the work site at the same time as a mini-excavator 2, work can begin immediately, reducing delays and costs.
