How do I know if my area requires a permit?
If you reside in areas such as Otway and Mountainous Areas, or Melbourne and Geelong urban areas the Polymaster team will investigate on your behalf to make sure if there are any permits and/or a pilot vehicle that is required. If so, they will contact you. This process will take 1-2 weeks approximately.
What areas in Victoria are affected by National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and require Oversize Permits?
Otway and Mountainous Areas (highlighted in Pink)
Melbourne and Geelong urban areas (highlighter in Green)
Due to these restrictions, Polymaster will be required to transport some of our larger tanks with the aid of escorts or pilots. The regions in pink on the Vic Roads map below indicate where these limitations are in effect, while red lines on the map indicate additional specific roads where restrictions apply.
How many people are required on site for tank delivery?
The good news is that no-one is required to help the driver unload. Please provide a free and easy access to your site and an identified ‘marked’ area for the tank to be unloaded. Our driver will unload as close as possible your desired location.
If the driver deems the desired location to be too difficult to manoeuvre the truck into, the driver will identify a safe and secure place to unload within your property.
Please note: The driver is unable to physically position the tank onto the ‘pad’. Exact positioning of the tank on the pad remains the responsibility of the property owner.
What do I do if I need a Chemical tank or Diesel/AdBlue tank delivery?
Every industrial tank is different, Contact the industrial team to ask questions about your delivery.
What are the unloading procedures for Self-bunded tanks?
Our 1,500ltr to 10,000ltr self-bunded tanks are always despatched on a pallet. This means that they can be unloaded with either a forklift or crane with spreader bar. It’s important that it is only lifted from underneath the tank unless there are purpose-built lift lugs welded on. For tanks above this size please refer to the lifting plans.
My site isn’t ready, can you store the tank until we are ready?
Yes, we can for a storage fee of $220 inc gst per tank per month. Normally once the tanks have been made and fitted out according to your specifications it is invoiced and shipped.
What property access is required for delivery?
