Container delivery around Bundaberg and the Wide Bay
We book the truck and quote the cartage together with the container. The truck depends on the size and the way in. In this district the ground usually matters more than the truck — sand by the beaches, red soil and cane headlands inland, and low spots near the rivers.
Which truck, and what it needs
| Truck | Carries | Needs at your end |
|---|---|---|
| Tilt-tray | 10ft and 20ft | About 3.5m of clear width and around 20m of straight run behind the drop spot, on firm ground |
| Sidelifter | 40ft (and 20ft where it suits) | Roughly 30m of working length and level, firm standing for the legs beside the truck |
| Crane truck (HIAB) | Any size within its reach | Somewhere close to park; lifts over fences, down slopes and into tight lots. Costs more |
Before you book
- The ground. If it is wet, sandy, freshly filled or recently graded, tell us. A bogged truck means a recovery bill and another trip.
- Above the spot. Power lines, branches, patio roofs and shade sails all need clearance over the place the container lands, not just over the driveway.
- The way in. Gate width, sharp turns, grids and how the last stretch is surfaced.
- Level. A container out of level twists, and the doors stop closing properly. Have blocks or sleepers in place for the four corners.
- Height. Near the Burnett or the Mary, pick the highest firm ground you have. Watertight means rain from above, not rising water.
Unsure about access? Take a couple of phone photos — the driveway entrance and the spot you have in mind — and send them with your enquiry. More in getting the truck in on a Wide Bay block.
