Safe travelling to all during the holiday period

Well the summer school holidays are really here. Can’t believe how fast this year has gone!! If the kids want to go to the beach or to one of our many fantastic theme parks then come on in and grab a 8seater or even a 12seater if you are going to take all the friends as well!!!

If this time of year is all about moving house then come on in and grab a 3Tonne truck with the hydraulic lift at the back to take half the hard work off your hands!!

If the summer break means you need to have a clean up around the yard then the drop side utes will be just for you or even a cage ute for ALL that extra rubbish!!

Whatever your needs for this summer break come on in and have a chat to the friendly staff and we will be able to accommodate you. See you soon!!

Having a car is essential in the great Queensland Outback so take a minute to read these helpful tips.
• Make sure to have plenty of fuel and water for any long drives you plan to do – the last thing you want to do is get stuck in the Outback where temperatures can be extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night.
• Always know where you are going to get fuel when you set out on overnight drives. Always tell someone if you are making an off road trip and give them your planned itinerary.
• Watch out for animals such as kangaroos, cattle or horses on the roads. If you do hit a marsupial you are legally required to stop and check whether or not they had any young in their pouches.
• All passengers must wear seatbelts. Penalties for not having seat belts can be a fine of $250. Penalties are applied to the driver.

So come into Andys and we will put you in a comfortable car for your exciting trip to discover the wonderful Queensland outback.

Are you sick and tired of being locked up inside? Winter hasn’t been long this year but it’s still too long for us Queenslanders!! So if you are looking for something to keep you busy for the next couple of weeks, how about cleaning out that back shed? Or even just the spare room or getting rid of all those toys the kids don’t play with anymore!! Andys can help out by supplying just the right size vehicle that you need. We have Ute’s, with or without the cage or the Cargo van LWB or SLWB if need be. Then depending on how much you are getting rid of there is always the 3Tonne truck that only requires a normal car licence to drive. For those that wish to go all the way and move the whole house and it won’t all fit into our very roomy 3Tonne trucks, we have the 4.5Tonne and 5Tonne and even our great big 9Tonne truck (these do require an MR licence) at your disposal.
Whatever you decide to do to keep busy we can help out.
So get off the couch and get moving!!
