Option 1: Customer off load - this delivery option is for customers who have access to both facilities and machinery available on-site in order to assist in offloading the truck. (no HIAB required)
Option 2: Hiab Delivery option - Alternatively, if you do not have access to any kind of machinery on site, we can provide a truck that will come with a HIAB to assist with offloading the goods from the truck. This option is perfect for customers who don’t have access to facilities to help with offloading goods from the truck, our truck does all the hard work for you!
Please note that Hiab truck deliveries can only unload materials within the front or back yard boundary. We cannot guarantee placement in an exact location or the ability to lift materials above the ground floor (first floor or higher) due to various constraints.
Due to safety, please ensure the correct of the above 2 options is selected based on your requirements. If delivery can't be completed—due to lack of machinery or delays exceeding 15 minutes—a re-delivery fee will apply.
Measure the internal rebate opening of your concrete pit. These grates are sized to drop into the rebate, not the overall pit opening. Match the grate size to your rebate dimension, and it will sit flush without a frame.
These grates are tested to Australian Standards (AS 3996:2019). Load class depends on the size selected. See the Drains Load Rating document in Resources for the specific class of each size, or contact our team to confirm the right grate for your application.
Yes, a hinged heelguard drop-in option is available. See our heelguard grates range for the hinged heelguard product.
Weight varies by size, and most can be handled by one or two people. For the larger 1200x1200mm two-piece grates, two people are recommended for safe handling and installation.
