furkew Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi all has anyone imported a digger? If so was it very expensive / complicated? Quite a few mates of mine have dingo's, bobcats & various excavators ranging from 5/7/12 ton. If you want I can ask about prices for used excavators compared to the UK. I would imagine it will not be cheap to bring one over personally. You could try speaking to somebody like these guys : Autoshippers UK. International Car Shipping by Sea Container or RoRo ships.

Guest Rouge Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi furkew, I've had a look at a couple of machinery websites in aus & diggers etc seem very expensive, hence why we're looking into shipping costs but after reading problems people have had shipping cars / bikes etc I'm assuming it won't be straightforward & probably quite costly, hence the reason why machinery makes good money out there!! Thanks for the links. Hi Siamsusie, great to hear there is manpower in Taz (lol), you know men though, they like their big toys to play with!! Plus diggers etc come in handy when you want to build your own house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the links. what type/brand/size of digger is it? What they advertise for and what they are actually worth can be a big difference.

Guest Rouge Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi furkew, well put it this way I've seen the identical digger to my OH's & it was $98,000, another slightly older more hours etc, $80,000, plus a few others inbetween! Which is more than double what we paid, even being a girlie I understand that the adverised price normally isn't the sale price :wink:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furkew Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Yes men and their sheds and toys Rouge.....your post just made me smile! :hug: one of my mates has just finished his shed. 20m x 50m. (might actually be a bit bigger) It fits a LOT of toys !! which is probably good, because he has quite a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Criks Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 About the machinery importing... Where are you importing from? It'd cost more the further away the machinery is. I know a good firm in the UK: Machinery removals | Machinery installations | Factory relocations | Heavy Haulage | Jack Nobbs & Son Ltd The costs aren't too bad for the market and it wouldn't be at all complicated, they carry out all the work for you.
