For the amounts of coke noted below buyers may either pick the coke up, by appointment, from Wilkur Forge, or use a transport company pick the coke up from Wilkur Forge and deliver it to your premises.
* Wilkur Forge sells coke by volume, not mass, as the coke may be wet at certain times of the year, making the coke heavier than when dry. The amount of coke supplied is the VOLUME of coke initially loaded into the container. Due to its nature, the coke will settle during transit.
** Prices as noted are for coke picked up from Wilkur Forge's premises. Prices are subject to change without notice or obligation. Availability is subject to sufficient supply of coke being on hand to meet your order. Wilkur Forge reserves the right to restrict, or cease, coke sales without notice or obligation.
Please note - it is the driver's responsibility to properly secure their load before driving on public roads and to make sure their vehicle and/or trailer is not overloaded. Wilkur Forge reserves the right to refuse to load vehicles and / or trailers it considers inappropriate, unsafe or likely to become overloaded with the amount of coke purchased.
Third party transportation of coke
Wilkur Forge can now arrange freight of coke to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth at the buyer's cost. Please get in touch with your requirements and include the amount of coke required and the city nearest to you. Delivery will only be to one freight depot in each of these cities. All on-forwarding is the responsibility of the buyer.
Bulk coke purchases
Bulk coke is defined as quantities over ten tonnes and bulk coke is sold by the TONNE. Please ask Wilkur Forge for details about bulk coke availability, ordering, payment, delivery options, specifications and a quotation. For bulk coke orders Wilkur Forge can also arrange transportation. Bulk coke is loaded loose, not in containers, and is typically delivered by dump truck with or without a tipper trailer. The delivery address MUST have sufficient clearance and room for heavy vehicle access, otherwise deliveries of bulk coke cannot be made.
How much coke should I buy?
As a rule of thumb, when hand forging small items you can expect 75 to 100 hours of forging time from 200l (approximately 110kg) of coke using proper fire management. Larger jobs and those involving power forging equipment naturally use more coke.
By keeping a record of the time you spend forging and the volume of coke you use, you'll soon be able to work out the rate at which you use coke in your forge with your typical forging activities. This way you can plan your future coke purchases accordingly. When you return for your next coke purchase, bring your containers and we will refill them for you.
Charcoal
To help with offering an alternative solid fuel for forging use, Wilkur Forge is considering supplying hardwood charcoal to our customers in the near future. If supply of charcoal is of interest to you - or if you are a charcoal supplier capable of delivering an on-going supply of quality, domestically-produced bulk charcoal - please contact Wilkur Forge.
