Formwork, scaffold and site equipment transport in Melbourne
To site as the job needs it, and back to the hire yard when it's done.
The gear that comes and goes
Formwork and scaffold don't arrive once. They come in as the structure goes up, move around the site, and go back to the hire yard when the job is done. Temporary fencing and hoarding follow the same pattern. We carry all of it, between hire yards, depots and sites across Melbourne.
Formwork
Formwork panels, props, beams and columns are bulky rather than heavy, and a lot of it marks easily. It's loaded so the site can take it off in the order it's needed. Full loads go on a flat top semi, with 12.5 m or 13.7 m trailers carrying approx 20 to 24 tonnes. Smaller call-ups go on a 14 to 16 pallet tray truck, which gets into streets a semi can't.
Scaffold
Scaffold tube, boards and fittings move in bundles and stillages. They're usually forklifted on at the yard and either forklifted or craned off at site. If there's nothing on site to unload with, a crane truck brings its own crane, lifting approx 3.5 tonnes within 4 metres.
Fencing, hoarding and hire-yard returns
Temporary fencing panels, bases and hoarding go in at the start of a job and come out at the end. We run them in both directions. Hire-yard returns are often the last job on a site, and the yard has its own receiving hours, so tell us the window at both ends and we'll plan the run around them.
CBD delivery windows
Inner-city sites run on tight delivery windows, with traffic management and loading zones booked ahead. Loads can be pre-loaded the night before, so the truck is ready for an early window, and every truck carries live GPS so the site can see it coming. Tell us the window, the loading zone and the site's rules when you book, and we'll plan to them.
Our drivers work on construction sites every day, so inductions, exclusion zones and crane time are routine. Each delivery comes back with proof-of-delivery photos.
Common questions
Can you pick up from the hire yard?
Yes. We run hire-yard pickups and returns for formwork, scaffold, fencing and hoarding, as well as site-to-site moves.
Can you make an early CBD delivery window?
Loads can be pre-loaded the night before for early starts. Tell us the window and the site's access rules when you book.
Which truck do I need for formwork?
Full loads go on a flat top semi, with 12.5 m or 13.7 m trailers and approx 20 to 24 tonnes. Smaller loads, or tight access, suit a 14 to 16 pallet tray truck.
Do you move site sheds too?
Yes. Site sheds and portable buildings are covered on our site shed transport page. If it fits on a flat tray, we can carry it.
