Hi all,

Possibly need to freight a gearbox from bendigo in VIC to Sydney and just need to know what's the best way to get it from there to here?

Cheers

I used Transdirect http://www.transdirect.com.au/ to send mine to Dangerous, & he sent it back the same way. That is who he usually uses apparently.

Can someone give me a heads up on weight and size of an IRS gearbox so I can get a quote

Will it need to go on a pallet?

Thanks

Mine didn't need to go on a pallet, but I whipped up a box for it, mainly to protect it.

The weight was 38kg - remember, it will have to be shipped dry (no fluids).

If you want any other info, PM me or email me at beetleboyjeff@hotmail.com & I will send you the shipping info, photos of how I sent mine, or any other info that may help.

I use TNT daily they will take your box with no problems we receive gearboxes daily and sometimes with no pallets that's for 4wd gearboxes. Your bug box should be roughly 40 kilos. Alot lighter than all the ones we get.

E go for sure. Cheapest I found for bulky stuff. They will often want anything over 25kg deadweight to be on a pallet and have assistance or a forklift to load and unload. Otherwise it's an extra $80 or so for a tail lift truck.
