FAQs
Common questions
Straight answers on containers, pallets, timing and pricing.
The container size, delivery suburb and postcode, whether you need a sideloader, and any special requirements such as dangerous goods. A container number and release help us book faster.
On a skel (skeletal trailer) the container stays on the truck and you unload it from a dock or with a forklift while the truck waits. A sideloader places the container on the ground so you can unpack in your own time.
Return the empty container to the nominated empty park before the shipping line’s free days run out. We record the empty-return date on every job and can collect the empty as soon as you are finished.
Yes. Tail-lift trucks are available for pickup or delivery addresses without a forklift or dock.
The Vehicle Booking System (VBS) is how trucks book time slots to collect or deliver containers at the terminals. We manage VBS bookings for every job.
