Redlands enquiries
Condition matters for mixed metal
Renovation, trade and marine-related loads may include several alloys, coatings and fittings that should be identified before transport.
- Separate brass fittings from attached hose, plastic and steel.
- Show insulation and plugs on cable rather than stripping blindly.
- Ask before moving batteries, tanks, sealed units or marine hardware.
Material + place03

Before anything moves
Can marine hardware be included in a Redlands enquiry?
Send photographs and describe the base metal, coatings and attached materials. Ask before moving sealed, pressurised, battery-powered or fluid-containing equipment.
How should a small mixed load be prepared?
Separate obvious metal groups, keep unsafe items aside and photograph anything uncertain. Final grade and acceptance are confirmed after assessment.
