Each place is priced to one postcode (for example 2000 for Sydney and 4000 for Brisbane). Your price is worked out for your own postcode: enter it on the machine's page on our website.

Why does the price depend on the machine?

Within 300 km of Dandenong South, the price depends only on the distance. Further away it also depends on the machine's length on the truck: machines longer than 4.1 m cost more to deliver over long distances. That is why the HM16 and HM22 wheel loaders, which are longer than a forklift, cost more to Sydney or Brisbane but the same to Geelong or Bendigo. Our tractors are longer on the truck than these loaders, so check the price on the tractor's page.

How long does delivery take?

For a machine in stock, the delivery estimate shown at checkout is:

  • 1 to 5 business days within 300 km of Dandenong South, for example Geelong and Bendigo
  • 2 to 10 business days up to 1,200 km, for example Canberra, Adelaide and Sydney
  • 3 to 12 business days further away, for example Brisbane, Perth and Darwin

If the machine you want is not in stock, we confirm the timing with you when you order.

How are parts and service kits delivered?

Parts are sent by courier or Australia Post. The delivery price is worked out at checkout from the weight, size and destination of your order. Filter service kits bought on our website are delivered free Australia-wide. Our Spare Parts and Warranty page explains how we stock and send parts.
