Where we collect

Servicing Redlands

We are based in South East Queensland. We buy Australia-wide. Around Redlands that usually means a quicker, cheaper collection.

Capalaba is the industrial core of the Redlands and most of the rest of the shire is residential, so the trucks here belong to trades and small service businesses rather than to freight fleets. Plumbers, electricians, arborists, landscapers and pool builders — tray tops, tipper-trays, service bodies and light commercial vans, usually one or two of them, usually owned by the person driving them.

That changes what the sale is about. You are not resizing a fleet, you are replacing the truck you use every day, and the old one has to be gone before the new one arrives because there is one spot for it at home or at the yard. Timing matters more than squeezing the last few hundred dollars out of it, which is a fair trade to make as long as the number you are offered is a real one.

Your options

Us, a private sale, or the auction?

All three are legitimate ways to move a truck and each wins on something different. Here is the straight version so you can pick the one that suits where you are at.

Private sale

  • Best price if you have got the time to run it
  • Weeks of no-shows, tyre-kickers and lowballs
  • You lose a working day to every inspection
  • Roadworthy, transfer and the finance payout are on you

Sell to us

  • A firm number inside 24 hours
  • No fees, no premium, no commission
  • We come to the yard, the depot or the job site
  • Bank transfer on collection

Auction

  • Entry fees, and the buyer's premium comes out of your price
  • No say in what it makes on the day
  • Weeks between the hammer and the money
  • You cart it there — and back again if it passes in

Before you start

  • Trailers on their own, without a truck

Questions

The things people actually ask.

How do you work out the price?

We track realised auction results across Australia, so the number is based on what trucks like yours actually sold for — not what dealers are asking. Body type, GVM, kilometres, service history and rego status are what move it.

What sort of trucks do you take?

Rigids from 4.5 tonne car-licence trucks up to 24 tonne, prime movers, and light commercial vans. Pantechs, trays, tilt trays, tautliners, cab chassis, service bodies and crane trucks are all fine. If you are not sure yours fits, send it — a two-minute form beats guessing.

How much does the body change the number?

A lot, and it is the thing sellers most often leave off the form. The same cab chassis is worth substantially more with a straight tray or a sound pantech on it than bare, and a working fridge unit is worth more again. Tell us what is on the back and when it was last serviced.

How fast is it, really?

A number within 24 hours of the form. Accept it and pickup is usually inside the week, sooner around Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan and the Gold Coast.

Does it need a roadworthy?

No. We buy unroadworthy and unregistered trucks. Tell us what is wrong and it gets priced in properly. Hiding it just means the number changes at pickup, which wastes your day and ours.

What if there is finance owing?

Very common on work trucks and it is not a problem. We pay the financier out directly and you get the balance. Flag it on the form so we can sort the payout in advance.

What paperwork do I need?

Photo ID, the registration certificate, and any service records or logbooks you have kept. Service history on a work truck is worth real money, so dig it out. We handle the transfer.

I need it gone before the replacement arrives. How fast can you be?

Tell us the date on the form. Around the bay side collection is usually inside the week once you accept, and if you need a specific day we will say yes or no straight away rather than leaving you guessing.

Want a number on it?

Two minutes on the form. A firm offer inside 24 hours. No obligation.
