Where We Deliver From Bloemfontein To Major Centres
MorCut Butchery supplies and delivers from Bloemfontein to commercial and home butchers in Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, Kimberley, Welkom and Kroonstad. We also assist customers in surrounding Free State areas when delivery or collection can be arranged through our Hamilton base.
Delivery arrangements depend on the size of the equipment, the address, and whether you need help with unloading and positioning. For premises with tight access, stairs, narrow gates or shared loading areas, let us know early so we can plan the right vehicle and the right people for the job.
How To Prepare Your Site Before Delivery
Before your equipment arrives, clear the route from the gate or loading point to the final position. Bandsaws and mincers are easier to place when the floor is level, the passage is wide enough and the area is clean and dry. In busy butchery spaces, it helps to keep stock, crates and loose cables out of the way.
If the equipment is going into a room with low doors, steps or a slippery floor, tell us in advance. This is especially helpful in coastal areas like Durban and Cape Town where humidity can make floors slick, and in older buildings where loading bays are limited. A little preparation saves time and reduces the risk of damage.
- Measure doorways, ramps and passage widths before delivery day
- Check that the floor is level and can take the weight of the unit
- Keep the area dry, clean and free of packaging, meat crates or pallets
- Arrange an adult contact person to receive the equipment on site
What To Expect On Delivery Day
When your equipment arrives, please inspect the packaging before signing for receipt. If you see crushing, holes or signs of rough handling, make a note on the delivery paperwork straight away. This protects both sides and helps us respond quickly if anything needs checking.
We recommend that a responsible person is present to receive the delivery, confirm the address and show where the equipment should go. If you need delivery and setup, we can help position the unit and talk through the basic first-use steps. Keep the guards in place, wear proper PPE, and do not run a machine until it has been checked and cleaned for use.
- Check the outer packaging before you sign
- Count all loose parts, trays and accessories against the delivery note
- Report visible damage immediately, before unpacking further
- Keep the invoice and paperwork in a safe place for future servicing
Installation, Setup And First Use
For many customers, delivery is followed by installation and a short handover. This is useful when the equipment needs to be placed in a fixed work area, connected safely, or introduced into an existing production line. We can also provide cleaning demonstrations and operator training so your team understands the correct way to handle meat preparation equipment.
Our team gives practical guidance on safe handling, cleaning, and daily checks. For bandsaws, this includes keeping guards fitted and making sure the cutting area is clear before operation. For mincers, it means using the correct plates and knives, cleaning all contact parts properly, and never forcing product through the machine. If something feels out of place, switch off and have it checked before use.
Ongoing Support After Delivery
Delivery is only part of the service. We also support customers with servicing, blade replacement, plate and knife changes, preventive maintenance, breakdown callouts and parts supply. That matters for busy butchers who cannot afford long downtime, especially in places where load-shedding or heavy trading periods can put pressure on the workday.
Good care starts with regular cleaning, correct storage of blades and plates, and keeping moving parts free of residue. If the machine starts to vibrate, cut unevenly or slow down under normal load, arrange a service rather than waiting for a full breakdown. Small issues can become expensive if they are ignored.
Getting Your Order Ready For A Smooth Handover
To keep delivery simple, please make sure your contact details are up to date on the enquiry form and that someone can answer on the day. If the unit is going to a retail site, abattoir or home setup, tell us about parking, access times and any site rules before dispatch. This helps us avoid delays and re-arranged trips.
For customers in municipal or shared premises, it is worth checking any receiving rules in advance. Some sites require deliveries at certain hours, while others limit loading near public entrances. A quick heads-up lets us plan better, keep the process orderly, and get your equipment into service without unnecessary hold-ups.
- Confirm the delivery address and contact person before dispatch
- Share any site rules, security checks or time limits early
- Tell us if the unit must pass through stairs, narrow corridors or shared areas
- Ask for setup support if you want help with positioning and first use
