Deliveries

We sort the truck. You sort the ground.

Freight is quoted with the container, organised by us, and run by operators we use every week — tilt-tray for most 10s and 20s, sidelifter for 40s, crane truck when access says so. On the Downs the deciding factor usually isn't the truck. It's whether the ground will hold it.

  • Tilt-tray wants about 3.5m of width and 20m of straight run-up
  • Sidelifters place 40-footers beside the truck — allow around 30m of working room
  • Crane (HIAB) lifts go over fences and down slopes; dearer, but very little is impossible
  • Wet black soil is the one that stops a delivery — talk to us about timing after rain, and count irrigation as rain
  • Blocks, sleepers or pavers under the four corner castings is the right set-down, every time
  • Old farm grids and paddock gateways are the two things people forget to measure or check the rating of
  • Steep ridge driveways in Toowoomba need a crane truck more often than people expect — a tilt-tray has to raise its bed to unload

30-second access check

How wide is the clearest path to the drop spot?

Straight run-up to where it's going?

Anything overhead — wires, branches, awnings?

Where we deliver

Toowoomba to Goondiwindi, Warwick to Miles

Pick your area for local delivery detail:

Not on the list? We run further west and south than most people assume, and because those are long runs we combine deliveries where we can, so the freight is often better than expected. Worth a call either way — and if you're unsure about access, there's a full rundown in what we need to get a container onto your block.
