Carriers--Light

About the heading Carriers--Light in Yellow™

Look under this Yellow™ heading if you need information on lightweight carriers. A lightweight carrier is typically an attachment to a vehicle such as a trailer that is designed to transport lighter weight materials. Look for a light carrier if what you need to send is bigger than a parcel, but smaller than a car. When transporting fragile items, make sure that the carrier is capable of handling delicate goods. Light carriers usually charge by weight and will specify the estimated delivery time at the time of booking. You’ll usually need to pay extra if you need a faster delivery, say same day delivery or a next day interstate delivery. Search for light carriers in Australia with Yellow™.

The price charged by light carriers depends not only on the weight and delivery time, but also the location where the consignment is to be delivered. Distance between the origin and destination directly affects the cost. Before hiring a carrier, make sure you check the terms and conditions to understand the fine print. You could also minimise risk by insuring your consignments.

Lightweight carriers also come in a variety of forms, although they are mostly available as attachments for trailers. Some companies allow you to rent a trailer to move materials when shifting residence for example.  These carriers are generally hollow and can be filled with boxes, furniture, etc.; and transported via a tow hitch on the back of a truck. These can be rented; and are typically charged on a flat rate and / or per mile fee.
