      Envirocon has organised my delivery, what should I expect?

      Detailed guidance on what to expect from our delivery service and unloading processes.

       Transport
      Unless otherwise organised during the quoting stages, your blocks will be delivered on a flat deck or curtain sider truck.
       
      Unloading The Blocks
      • Interbloc blocks weigh between 250kg and 1500kg.
      • Having the correct equipment on site is essential to an efficient unload. Envirocon recommends using a forklift.
      • You will have 30 minutes to unload the truck. Time spent in excess of 30 minutes may incur wait charges at the current hourly rate published by Envirocon - currently $125 per hour.
      • Unload a max two blocks at a time.
      • Ensure the block/s sits entirely on the forks.
      • Lift the block/s clear of the truck deck before reversing the equipment. 
      • Move away from the truck deck, and once clear of the truck reduce the height of the forks maintain a low centre of gravity and ensure you have a clear line of sight. 
      • Move the block/s to the designated laydown area and place.
      • Lower the forks to ensure they are clear of the block/s and reverse. 
      • Chipping can occur during the unloading process, Envirocon will not be responsible for this.
      Unloading without a Forklift
      • If you have pre organised to unload the truck one block at a time (i.e. with an excavator/hiab), ensure you have the correct lifting klaw and chain to do this. Refer below to the section on installing the blocks and equipment requirements. 
      • Blocks must be removed one by one. Never try to lift the whole blocks by placing a strop around the base of it.
      • You must have the correct lifting klaw to lift the block. Using the incorrect klaw, or a lifting device from another company, will void the warranty of the lifting anchor. 
      • The lifting klaw should be new, or recently tested and certified.
      • You must use a chain to connect the lifting klaw to the lifting equipment.
      • Unless organised in advance, the blocks should be lifted and placed in the immediate vicinity of the truck to minimise truck unloading times. 
      • If using seconds blocks where no lifting anchor is available, you must organise a gravity scissor lifting in advance. Talk to your Envirocon Sales Representative about this option.
