4. Shipping Rates and Free Nationwide Delivery Option
To maintain full pricing transparency in accordance with Google Merchant Center South Africa standards, standard nationwide delivery within South Africa is included at R 0.00 (Free Standard Delivery) on qualifying online inventory orders, or itemized clearly on your checkout summary and commercial invoice before payment is made. No hidden handling surcharges, port release fees, or unexpected transport levies are added after checkout. If a delivery site requires specialized heavy rigging, secondary mobile cranes for elevated placement, or abnormal load escort permits, our logistics desk provides a written quotation for approval prior to dispatch.
5. Offloading Methods and Site Preparation Requirements
Depending on the equipment ordered and your site facilities, deliveries are performed using one of two primary transport vehicles:
- HIAB Crane Truck (Self Offloading): Equipped with an onboard hydraulic crane capable of lifting and placing twenty foot and forty foot containers or diesel generators directly onto the ground beside the vehicle.
- Superlink or Tri Axle Flatbed Trailer: Used for long distance transport or heavy generator sets where the customer provides a site crane, reach stacker, or heavy duty forklift for offloading.
Customers must ensure that the delivery entrance, access road, and offloading zone have sufficient width, turning radius, firm ground bearing capacity, and overhead clearance free from low hanging electrical cables, tree branches, or roof structures. The resting surface for a shipping container or generator must be level and firm, such as a concrete slab, interlocking paving, or compacted crusher run with concrete corner plinths.
6. Transit Insurance, Inspection upon Arrival, and Delivery Support
Every container and generator remains covered by comprehensive goods in transit insurance while aboard our transport vehicles until offloading is completed at your designated address. Upon arrival, the customer or authorized site representative must inspect the unit alongside the transport driver and sign the Proof of Delivery waybill. Any visible transit damage or discrepancy must be noted directly on the delivery receipt and reported to CONCEPT FROST (PTY) LTD within 24 hours.
