The ability to pick up products locally was a key factor in a Brisbane contractor’s decision to buy Jetland loading ramps.
Small contractors rarely have time to scour the market for potential equipment suppliers, so referrals remain a critical shortcut to trusted partners.
For Queensland-based Centenary Constructions Director Patrick Boyle, peer recommendations are often the most reliable way to identify capable local suppliers.
“Running a business leaves little time to research every option,” he said. “We have found the most efficient way to identify good, reliable local suppliers is to talk to friends and associates in our industry network. Over time, their recommendations have proven sound.”
With a tip truck and Bobcat loader in its fleet, Centenary Constructions needed rugged, safe loading ramps to move machinery on and off jobs quickly and with confidence. The word-of-mouth name that came back was Jetland Ramps.
“After a few calls to industry friends, we were referred to Jetland, based on a colleague’s positive experience with its products,” Patrick said.
The Jetland experience
Patrick said that when he called Jetland, its team immediately understood what was needed.
“They were extremely helpful, answered all our questions, and took the time to offer genuine advice and guidance on the right loading solution,” he said.
Within two hours of the initial call, the order was processed and Patrick was collecting the ramps from Jetland’s Woolloongabba facility.
“The ramps are well-designed, robust, and safe. We would definitely recommend Jetland to anyone in Brisbane who needs loading ramps for equipment of any size or specification,” he said. “They communicate well, they’re convenient to deal with, and their ramps offer excellent value for money.”
Local hero
Patrick said the ability to pick up ramps locally was a key factor in the purchase decision.
“Being able to collect in Brisbane meant easier communication and fast turnaround,” he explained. “In general, we prefer to deal with local suppliers because it improves access and response times for service.
“We’ve been pleased with the introduction to Jetland and their Brisbane collection facilities.
“The Jetland team are clearly experts in this market and provide a highly professional service. I’m completely satisfied and would recommend their ramps to anyone with similar equipment requirements. They deliver great service, strong value for money and a genuinely hassle-free purchase process.”
For Centenary Constructions, overspecifying the ramps has delivered an extra layer of assurance.
“We like peace of mind when operating our machinery, so we bought ramps with a higher load rating than we technically needed,” Patrick said.
“Our equipment doesn’t exceed three tonnes, but we chose six-tonne rated ramps. It means we never have to worry about overloading them. We know we have safe, robust ramps that will handle any likely job.”
Engineered for tough jobs
All Jetland ramps are manufactured from durable materials and engineered for efficient, safe performance in demanding environments, including mining and construction.
Safety is the company’s priority, with designs that meet or exceed ramp safety standards and incorporate anti-slip surfaces as standard.
Specially designed and tested locking pins ensure the ramps remain securely in place once installed.
Jetland products are backed by a 12-month warranty, supported by free Australia-wide shipping and convenient pick-up options to streamline the purchasing process.
The customer service team is equipped to assist with product selection and technical enquiries.
