Im collecting my own blocks, what do I need to know?

If you've opted to collect your own block, familiarise yourself with our site rules and dispatch processes.

You have opted to collect the blocks yourself or have organised your own freight. Theres a couple of key points you need to keep in mind:
  • Contact Envirocon Dispatch before sending any trucks. Pick ups need to be scheduled in our dispatch system.
  • Drivers must contact the Dispatch Coordinator before arriving on site to confirm pick up times.
    • If this is not done the truck may not be loaded and turned away 
  • Drivers must have the job reference number on them
  • Payment terms must have been met before loading can commence
  • Drivers must have correctly rated chains for securing blocks
  • Drivers must arrive on time 
  • Drivers must not arrive before you scheduled time
    • Drivers will not be loaded early
  • Drivers must use corner protectors 
  • Truck types that are acceptable 
    • Flat deck 
      • No high metal lips on edge (5cm is too high)
    • Curtain siders
      • No tow trucks
      • No fixed side trucks
  • Drivers are required to sign for the load before leaving
  • Trucks must have a clean truck deck area 
  • Drivers are not allowed to smoke on site
  • Drivers must follow Envirocon's site safety rules:
    • 10Km/h speed limit on site
    • Everyone must have appropriate high-viz
    • Everyone must wear steel toed shoes
    • You must know your maximum tonnage and not overload your ratings
    • You must have a current COF
    • Your vehicle must be mechanically sound
    • The load must be strapped properly
    • You need to always follow instructions given by Dispatch Staff
    • No parking overnight on Envirocon premises
    • Drivers must be visible to the Dispatcher when blocks are being loaded onto the truck. The forklift driver must always have line of sight of drivers. There is a risk of blocks being dislodged off the deck as they are pushed to the edge.

For safety reasons we do not load blocks on to tipper trucks, or trucks and decks with permanent sides.
