Safe Pallet Preparation – Returning to Astrak

As valued customers, your support has seen Astrak grow our business and service offerings. To ensure we continue to meet our safety responsibilities for ourselves, our logistics partners and our customers, track groups must be palletised in a safe and transportable manner.

Tracks must be rolled and strapped to the pallet – see figure 1.

Please use two straps, one to go around the rolled track and one to go over the track, securing it to the pallet.

In instances where you require a ratchet strap, please advise Astrak upon initial contact so we can arrange for this to be dispatched with the track group delivery.

If one is not requested, we will not send upon delivery. Our logistics partners can and will reserve the right to refuse collections when track groups are deemed to be unsafe or dangerous to transport within their network – see figure 2.

Astrak reserve the right to pass on a failed collection charge to our customers should any pallet be deemed unsafe to transport and is refused by our logistics partner.

Failed collections will be charged (please ask us for details).

To ensure we do our best to meet environmental obligations and to increase our turnaround time it would be ideal if an effort to remove excess dirt was made prior to returning exchange track groups.

We understand this may not always be possible due to the nature of the process, of tracks being removed and fitted on site. However, should track groups be deemed to have excessive amounts of rubble/ cement a charge may be advised and applied, due to the extra time to strip these and ready them for a new assembly.
