At Southern Cross Food Equipment, we want to make sure that you’re getting the best product for your kitchen and budget. Not having prices posted on our website allows us to be able to help you source the right equipment from our wide base of trusted suppliers at the most reasonable, competitive price.

Freight prices depend on a number of factors such as location and weight. There can be huge variances in freight rates because we deliver Australia-wide. There’s also a very hefty weight difference between a blender and a 3-door fridge. We can offer better value for your money when delivery costs are dependent on the equipment you are purchasing and where you want it delivered, rather than a high, fixed freight rate.

When ordering equipment, always remember to check:

• Size: measure the location where the item will be positioned, then verify the size of the product. Allow for tolerances and breathing space around the product, without compromising food safety standards. You can usually find this information in the specification sheets.
• Connections: some types of equipment have very specific requirements for gas, power and water connections. For best performance, check the connections at your restaurant to ensure they meet the requirements. You may need a qualified tradesman to connect your equipment. In some cases, a council building or plumbing application may be required. Check with your local council if in doubt. This is usually a very simple process if your service connections are there.
• Infrastructure: some types of equipment may require extra infrastructure such as an exhaust hood or drain. Simply check the specs or contact us to confirm.
