Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Sep 22, 2009 9:44 am Hi, I wish to have three pallets of concrete blocks (about 1500kg per pallet) transported from a house to my block of land about an hour away. Can someone please advise me what is the best way to do this. I was thinking about using the services of a crane truck operator, but I am unsure. I have spoken to a few operators briefly and am concerned about the time (and therefore cost) that they are saying it will take. I would appreciate any genuine advice.

You could try contacting brick companies in your area (Austral, PGH,... etc) and ask if one of their contractors will do a cash job.

I sometimes find it difficult to get the right information out of some of these companies Regards RF Re: Advice Please - Transporting Pallets of Bricks or Blocks 6Sep 22, 2009 10:38 pm Different companies have different setups, but if you ring and ask to talk to the transport supervisor or the dispatch coordinator they should get you through to the right person. Many of these companies use private contractors, so they may be able to pass on a number you can ring. Someone whth the right truck and equipment will do the job quicker than a general transport contractor. Those span tables can be pushed a little for a low deck if you dont mind a little flex.
