Construction transport in Melbourne's east
Doncaster, Box Hill, Ringwood, Bayswater and the suburbs in between.
Into the east
Our trucks run jobs out to Doncaster, and right across the east: Box Hill, Ringwood, Bayswater and the suburbs between them. The east is a mix of tower sites, townhouse developments and industrial estates, and each of them asks for a different truck.
Tower sites
Box Hill and Doncaster have tall residential and commercial buildings going up, and those sites run much like the CBD: booked delivery windows, traffic management and loading zones. Loads can be pre-loaded the night before, so the truck is ready when the window opens, and formwork and scaffold can be called up in stages as the structure climbs.
Townhouses and tight streets
Much of the east is established suburbs, where older houses make way for townhouses. Those streets are narrow, parked out and lined with trees. A 14 to 16 pallet tray truck, with an 8.4 m deck and up to 14 tonnes, gets in where a semi can't.
Where frames and trusses or steel have to go onto a tight block with no crane, a crane truck does the lifting: approx 3.5 tonnes within a 4 metre radius, and 500 to 750 kg at 10 metres. Whether a lift works from the street depends on the weight and the reach, so send the details and we'll confirm.
Bayswater and the industrial east
Bayswater has a large industrial area, with fabricators and suppliers sending steel, pipe and building materials out to sites all over the city. Full loads go on a flat top semi: 12.5 m or 13.7 m trailers, carrying approx 20 to 24 tonnes. Long sections go on an extendable trailer, and permits are checked per load.
Suburbs in the east
Local pages: Bayswater and Knox and Box Hill and Burwood.
Booking a run in the east
Tell us the pickup, the site, the load and anything about the access: a narrow street, overhead wires, trees, a steep driveway or a booked loading zone. It's much easier to send the right truck than to find a problem at the kerb. Every truck carries live GPS, and each delivery comes back with proof-of-delivery photos.
Every run to the east starts at our Braeside depot. Suburbs beyond the east are covered on our Melbourne page.
Common questions
Do you deliver to Doncaster and Box Hill?
Yes. We run jobs out to Doncaster, plus Box Hill, Ringwood, Bayswater and the rest of the east.
Can you get a truck into a narrow street?
Usually, with the right truck. Our 14 to 16 pallet tray trucks have an 8.4 m deck and fit where a semi won't. Tell us about the access when you book.
Can you deliver to a tower site with a booked window?
Yes. Tell us the window and the site's rules. Loads can be pre-loaded the night before for early starts.
