Tata Ace
Live rate at booking
Book Tata AceMetal is heavy. Start with the weighbridge slip.
Most of what leaves Mayapuri in a mid-size truck is metal: cut scrap from the Phase I and Phase II yards, used engine blocks and gearboxes, reconditioned parts, sheet offcuts and wire. It is dense cargo, and the most common mistake we see is a dealer booking by eye. A heap that looks like a tonne and a half can weigh well over two.
A Tata 407 on rent in Mayapuri takes about 2.5 ton. If your load has been across a weighbridge, give us that number. If it has not, give the item count and rough unit weight, and we will tell you straight if a 407 is enough or if the load needs a 14FT Eicher at 3.5 ton. An overloaded 407 is a problem at every checkpost on the way, and the driver will refuse it at loading anyway. Capacities for every vehicle are on the truck size page.
TruckGuru books the 407 with driver for intercity trips over 100 km, direct from your yard to the buyer.
Loose scrap versus parts on pallets
Parts that are boxed or crated load like any other cargo. Loose scrap is different. It shifts on braking, sharp edges cut tarpaulins, and oily pieces stain the deck. Tell us at booking if the load is loose, and bag it or bundle it where you can. Drivers who carry metal regularly will ask for the load to be kept low and spread across the deck instead of piled at the front. That is the right way to load it.
Long pieces such as chassis rails or pipe lengths need a longer body, so an Eicher from our Eicher rental range is the better pick there. For small boxed orders under a tonne, a Mini truck costs less.
Where Mayapuri metal usually goes
The steady lane is north to Punjab. Mandi Gobindgarh, about 300 km away, has the re-rolling mills that buy melting scrap, and a 407 from Mayapuri is usually delivered within 1 day. Ludhiana, about 320 km, takes parts and scrap for its forging and cycle-component units.
East, Muzaffarnagar is about 140 km and has steel and paper mills that take scrap. Four hours or so, less if you leave before the morning rush on the ring road.
South-west, Jaipur is about 270 km by NH-48, usually within 1 day. Used spares from Mayapuri go to dealers in the Jaipur and Alwar markets; Alwar itself is about 160 km.
Anything further, such as Kanpur at about 490 km, usually takes up to 1 day because the driver rests at night.
One thing we do not do: trips inside Delhi, including runs to Kashmere Gate or Karol Bagh. Every booking is over 100 km. Full truckloads from other parts of the city are covered under truck hire in Delhi.
Paperwork dealers forget
Scrap and used parts still need a proper tax invoice, and for goods worth over 50,000 rupees an e-way bill generated by the consignor or consignee. Checkposts on the Punjab and Rajasthan side do stop metal trucks for document checks. Hand the driver a copy of every document, not just a photo on your phone.
From our side, you get a digital Lorry Receipt at loading, GPS tracking until delivery, and a GST invoice once the 407 is unloaded. Loading labour and transit insurance are arranged by you.
407 rates out of west Delhi
Truck freight rates are not fixed. What a load costs depends on the route, vehicle type, load capacity needed, cargo, pickup date and how many trucks are running that lane that week. Trucks that can pick up return cargo in Ludhiana are easier to find than ones going to smaller towns, which shows in the quote.
TruckGuru pricing is quoted per trip at the time of booking, with toll included.
Current freight rates depend on route, vehicle type, cargo and availability. Check the live rate when booking. After you submit the booking, we call back within 30 minutes during working hours (Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM).
What yard owners in Mayapuri ask
Will you carry loose melting scrap?
Yes, as long as it is within 2.5 ton and loaded low and even. Bagged or bundled scrap is easier and safer on the road.
My weighbridge slip says 2.8 ton. Can the 407 take it?
No. That is over the 407's load capacity. Book a 14FT Eicher, which takes 3.5 ton.
How long to Mandi Gobindgarh?
About 300 km, so usually delivered within 1 day by truck.
Is the price to Jaipur fixed?
No. Rates are not fixed and change with the date, load and how many trucks are free on that lane. The trip price, toll included, is confirmed at booking.
Do you need GST papers for used parts?
Yes. Send an invoice with the goods, and an e-way bill if the value is over 50,000 rupees. The driver cannot move without them.
Can you send a truck to Naraina, it is next door?
No. That is a local trip. We only book intercity trips over 100 km.
Who loads the engine blocks?
Your yard staff or a crane if needed. Loading and unloading labour is arranged by the customer.
What are the payment terms?
Payment is split into three parts: Booking Amount at booking confirmation, 90% at loading once the truck reaches the pickup location, and the remaining Balance at delivery before unloading begins. Accepted: NEFT, IMPS, UPI (PhonePe, GPay), and major debit and credit cards. No cash payments accepted.
Can the buyer in Ludhiana see where the truck is?
Yes. Share the GPS tracking with them and they can plan unloading.
Do you take non-business loads?
Our trucks mostly carry business loads. For a one-off household move to another city, we can supply the truck and driver. Packing, loading and unloading are arranged by you.
Can I book a 407 for tomorrow morning?
Usually yes if you book during working hours today. Share the yard location and gate timing on the callback.
