Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 02, 2010 8:37 pm Hi, I'm trying to figure out a way to move 11 tonne worth of retaining wall blocks from one house to my current build. Does anyone know what business to search for that does this type of thing? Ideally i could load them onto pallets and then just have someone with a forklift and truck to transport. I am adelaide based but any suggestions on how i find this service would be appreciated. Thanks! Re: Who 'couriers' heavy building material 2Jun 03, 2010 6:50 pm Hi there. I have moved bricks before from one house to another- I just rang some transport companies close by and they will know who is set up for this. You would ideally get them hand-loaded onto pallets first- something you can do or get someone willing to do labouring work. Then it depends on accessability. If the truch can get alongside the pallets they just need a hiab (like a truck-mounted crane) and they can lift them onto the truck- as long as the drop-off point is also truck-friendly. Otherwise you might need to use a carrier with a all terrain brick forklift (which you may have seen on brick trucks- they are chained onto the rear of the truck and are lowered down to alow them to dliver the bricks around building sites). Just look in the yellow pages/google for adelaide transport companies. I just had a look and found this one for you: Colangelo Transport Pty Ltd Leaders in brick transport commercial & domestic market. Brick & paving freight. Safe, efficient & reliable service.

It looks like Colangelo is exactly what I need so i'll try and give them a call tommorrow along with a couple of other places. I wasn't finding a lot and these guys hadn't come up in my searches. Cheers! Firstly, if your house is still under builder's warranty (10 years in Victoria) you should have no need to crawl into roof space but let the builder handle it, unless you… 3 4479 What size are the windows, double or single glazed, can I have a pic of the full windows inside & out?
