The yard is here, at 1a Reid St. That makes South Grafton the one place on this site where the delivery question is almost beside the point — you can come and look at the container, decide in front of it, and have it on the ground the same day if the truck is free.
The bulk of the work in South Grafton is lockable storage for the transport, engineering and workshop businesses through the industrial pocket off Through Street and Induna Street, machinery and parts storage on the properties out along Big River Way, and household storage on the residential streets running back from the highway. The specification follows the job rather than the other way round, which is why we ask what is going in the box before we quote anything.

Ex GST guide prices. Stock turns over, so ring for the number that applies this week. Freight to South Grafton goes into the same figure — one price, nothing added on later.
If you are in South Grafton and you have access to a suitable truck, collecting the container yourself removes the cartage from the quote entirely. For a business in the industrial area with its own gear, that is usually the obvious move. Ring ahead so the unit is pulled out and ready and bring your own restraints.
For everybody else it is worth knowing that a very short delivery is still a truck movement and still costs something, but it is the cheapest cartage on this whole site. Nobody in South Grafton should be paying meaningful freight on a container.
South Grafton sits on the southern approach to the Clarence crossing, which means stock arrives and leaves without going through the centre of Grafton. For us that is about turnaround. For a customer towing or driving something long, it means you can get to the yard from the highway in either direction without a heritage streetscape and a bridge in the way.
It also puts the yard on the right side for the run south — Glenreagh, Coffs, Woolgoolga, Sawtell and beyond all leave from here. If you are anywhere on that stretch, the container you are buying does not have to cross the river before it starts its trip to you.
South Grafton is the easiest side of the river to get a truck into and it is not close. The industrial area is laid out for heavy vehicles — wide entries, hardstand, room to line up — and the highway approach means a driver never has to take a loaded truck through the centre of Grafton or over a bridge to reach you. Residential South Grafton is more ordinary suburban work: reasonable street widths, fewer of the huge overhanging street trees that make the older northern side difficult, and generally firm ground. The exceptions are the low-lying pockets nearer the river, where the same rule applies as everywhere on the flats — after a wet fortnight the surface can look trafficable and not be, and we would rather pick a dry day than put a truck through your driveway.
Three things decide every delivery anywhere: width at the pinch point, length of the run-in, and what hangs above the spot. Measure the first, pace the second, look up for the third — see the access guide.
1a Reid St, South Grafton NSW 2460. It is a working yard rather than a showroom, so ring (02) 5616 9099 before you come and someone will be there to meet you and open up the units you want to look at.
Yes — it is the shortest run we do, and the cartage component of a South Grafton quote is the smallest on the site. If you have a suitable truck you can also collect and remove it from the quote entirely.
