Queensland · Free drink machine placement
High-capacity chilled drink machines for Rockhampton & Gladstone workplaces at $0 cost — built for hot sheds, shift crews and long service runs. Covering Rockhampton CBD, Parkhurst, Gracemere, Gladstone, Callemondah and the wider Central Queensland, postcodes 4680–4701.
The local picture
Work in Central Queensland happens in places that heat up fast — Gladstone Port and LNG precinct, Boyne Smelter, Rockhampton Hospital and similar sites, where sheds, yards and workshops sit well above the outside temperature by early afternoon and the nearest shop can be a drive away.
Safe Work Australia's guidance on working in heat puts ready access to cool drinking water at the front of any heat-management plan. A high-capacity chilled machine in the crib room keeps water, electrolyte drinks and sugar-free options on hand for every shift, including the ones that start before any shop opens.
Zero cost
The honest trade
The operator carries the equipment and stock cost and earns it back from the drinks sold. That only works where there is enough regular traffic, so if your Rockhampton & Gladstone site is too quiet we will say so instead of installing a machine that won't be serviced properly. Around 20 regular staff or equivalent daily foot traffic is the usual starting point.
The only cost your site carries is power: roughly 2 to 4 kWh a day for a modern chilled unit, depending on ambient temperature and how often the door is opened.

Questions
Yes. The operator owns the machine and earns from the drinks sold, so there is no rental fee, no installation charge and no maintenance bill for your Rockhampton & Gladstone site. You supply about one square metre of floor space and a standard 10-amp power point, and you pay only the electricity it draws — roughly 2 to 4 kWh a day. If the arrangement ends, the machine is collected free.
The operator running the Central Queensland route does. Busy Rockhampton & Gladstone sites are usually serviced weekly or fortnightly, adjusted after the first month once real sales data is in. Breakdowns are their cost, with a 72-hour response target for Rockhampton & Gladstone. No one on your staff handles stock, cash or cleaning.
We place across Rockhampton CBD, Parkhurst, Gracemere, Gladstone, Callemondah, Yarwun, Emerald and the wider Central Queensland, postcodes 4680–4701. Sites outside those suburbs are matched to the nearest operator run — send the address and we will tell you honestly whether it is covered.
About 20 or more regular staff or equivalent daily traffic. On Rockhampton & Gladstone industrial sites, shift crews, contractors and drivers count towards that number, so a depot with a small office and a large yard often qualifies comfortably.
Yes. The planogram is agreed before install. Common Rockhampton & Gladstone workplace lineups include still and sparkling water, zero-sugar ranges, cold brew and iced coffee, iced tea, kombucha, electrolyte and hydration drinks, juice and flavoured milk. You can request an all-sugar-free or water-and-functional-only range.
Tap-and-go card readers are fitted as standard — Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay — with coin and note acceptance optional. Cashless removes cash handling from your Rockhampton & Gladstone site entirely.
Only with the right unit. Hot sheds, unconditioned warehouses and covered outdoor areas need heavy-duty refrigeration, higher capacity between visits and, where exposed, an outdoor-rated cabinet. Describe the environment on the application and the machine is specified for it rather than a standard office cooler.
Applications are read by a person and answered within 8 business hours. After a short access and power check, Rockhampton & Gladstone installs are fitted to the next scheduled run through the region, typically within two to three weeks, subject to machine availability.
