Inspections, collection & delivery


From listing to handover

Practical support for Machinery, Boats and Vehicles across Australia.

Inspection enquiries

Ask about condition, service records, operating hours or kilometres and what is included. We will confirm inspection arrangements and access for the machinery, boat or vehicle you are considering.

Freight planning

Provide the delivery suburb, state and postcode, along with site access details. Delivery is $0.40/km for boats, $0.80/km for machinery and $0.40/km for vehicles. The charge is based on the delivery distance in kilometres.

Collection & handover

Where collection is available, confirm the appointment, collection authority and suitable transport first. Check loading assistance, tie-down requirements and which keys, manuals and documents are included.

Plan for Australian distances

Whether you are near Gaven, QLD or buying interstate, give us your destination and the stock reference so we can help plan suitable transport. Delivery is charged per kilometre for capital cities, regional towns and rural properties.

Carrier availability, access and the load’s size determine the route and timing. Remote properties, Tasmania and oversize loads can need additional arrangements, which are included in the freight discussion before the sale is finalised.

Tell us about the delivery site

  • Suburb, state or territory and four-digit postcode
  • Gate width, overhead clearance and heavy vehicle access
  • Firm, level unloading space and any unloading equipment
  • Contact person and preferred delivery dates

Before transport

Confirm transport dimensions in metres and weight in kilograms or tonnes, including any trailer or attachments. Explain how the unit will be loaded and unloaded. Discuss cleaning and destination biosecurity requirements with the carrier.

At handover

Compare the delivered unit with the sale documents, note its condition and record any transport damage. Contact the seller promptly about a problem. Consumer rights that apply under Australian law are preserved.


Buying and moving a boat

Plan the inspection, paperwork and handover around the vessel you choose.

Marine inspections & sea trials

Ask about hull condition, engine service records, recorded engine hours and the equipment included. A marine survey or mechanical inspection can be arranged independently. Sea trials depend on the boat, location, access and suitable conditions; confirm availability before travelling.

Boat transport

Boat delivery is $0.40/km. Tell us whether the boat is on a trailer, at a marina or ashore, along with its overall length, beam, loaded height and transport weight. Confirm the included trailer, towing suitability, lifting or cradle requirements and access at both ends.

Equipment & handover

Check the agreed inventory of electronics, covers, batteries, anchors and safety gear. The safety equipment needed depends on the boat and intended waters. Review service and expiry dates on applicable items before use.

Registration & documents

Ask which ownership, registration and inspection documents are included. Boat registration and trailer registration are separate. Confirm the transfer requirements for the relevant state or territory before handover.

Finance enquiries

We can provide listing details and price information for your chosen lender. Finance terms and approval are arranged directly with the provider.

After-sale questions

Use the listing or order reference to ask about paperwork, a delivery update or a condition issue. Any additional warranty must be confirmed in writing for that item.
