The yard

Not on the list? Ring anyway.

We deliver a long way past the towns above. The list is limited to places we can say something true and specific about rather than places we will go — those are two different lists, and padding the first one with the second is how container websites end up full of pages that say nothing.

If your town is not here, ring 0477 410 500 and we will tell you honestly what the haul looks like, which depot the unit would come from and how long it would take.

Common questions

About delivery areas

Do you deliver outside the towns listed?

Yes. The list is the places we know well enough to write something genuinely useful about — the roads, the ground and what usually goes wrong. We deliver well beyond it. If your town is not here, ring and ask; the answer is almost always that it works, and the only question is which depot the unit comes out of.

Do you deliver interstate?

Yes, Australia-wide. For anywhere a long way from the Lockyer Valley the unit generally comes out of a depot closer to you rather than being trucked from Queensland, which is both quicker and cheaper. Stock and grade choice vary by depot, so it is worth telling us the date you need it as early as you can.

How is delivery priced?

With the container, per address. It moves with the distance, with which depot the unit comes out of, and — more than people expect — with what the truck has to do at your end. A wide flat industrial entry and a tight residential driveway the same distance away are not the same job. We do not publish a rate because any published rate would be wrong for a good share of addresses.

Can I collect a container myself?

Yes, from our yard at 24 Forest Hill Fernvale Rd, Forest Hill, QLD, 4342 by arrangement, if you have the gear to load and restrain it legally. That means a suitable trailer, correct rating and proper restraint — a container is not something to improvise with. Ring first so we can have the unit accessible and the paperwork ready.
