Book Tata AceA dealer top-up is a tempo job, not a truck job
Ranjangaon MIDC near Shirur makes refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and the plastic and foam parts around them. The big dispatches from the plants go out in containers. What we get asked for is smaller: a distributor near Shirur sending eight refrigerators and a dozen washing machines to a dealer in Beed, a service centre sending replacement units to Aurangabad, or a moulding supplier rushing a short lot of panels to a customer in Nashik. Those loads are a tonne or less, and paying for an Eicher to carry them makes little sense.
TruckGuru's tempo service in Ranjangaon books a Tata Ace or Bada Dost class vehicle with driver for these trips over 100 km. One vehicle per consignment. We do not take short runs back to Pune or anywhere under 100 km.
How appliances should ride in a tempo
This is where most damage claims start, so it is worth a paragraph. Refrigerators travel upright, never on their backs, and they need space between cartons so the corners do not crush on the Ahmednagar road. Front-load washing machines should have their transit bolts in. Split AC outdoor units are heavier than they look and belong on the floor, not on top of a stack. A closed-body tempo keeps cartons dry and clean, which matters because a dealer can refuse a unit with a stained box.
Count on a closed Ace taking roughly 6 to 8 standard double-door refrigerators standing up, or more washing machines, since they are shorter. Weight is rarely the limit with appliances; height and floor space are. An open Ace / Dost / Pickup carries up to 1,100 kg and a closed body up to 1.5 ton. Deck sizes are on the truck size page.
Where Ranjangaon loads go
| Destination | Road distance | Tempo road time |
| Aurangabad | about 170 km | Same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day |
| Nashik | about 190 km | Same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day |
| Beed | about 200 km | 1 day |
| Mumbai | about 210 km | 1 day |
| Jalna | about 230 km | 1 day |
| Solapur | about 250 km | 1 day |
The Marathwada lanes, Aurangabad, Jalna and Beed, are the busiest for appliance dealers. The road via Ahmednagar has long single-lane stretches in places, so a tempo loaded after 3 PM will usually reach a Beed dealer after closing time. Load before noon to give the dealer the best chance of receiving it before closing.
Rates for a tempo from Ranjangaon
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. Before Diwali and again before summer, when dealers stock up on refrigerators and ACs, closed tempos from this side of Pune go quickly.
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.
More than a tempo can take
A dealer order of 25 refrigerators needs a 17FT or 19FT Eicher, and a full distributor load a 20FT or 32FT container. The container truck service covers the closed options, and hire truck in Pune covers the wider region.
Booking, tracking and papers
Enter pickup, drop, number of units or weight, and the date on the website or the TruckGuru app. We call back within 30 minutes during working hours (Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM). A digital Lorry Receipt is issued at loading, the tempo is GPS tracked to delivery, and the GST invoice follows after delivery. Appliance loads almost always cross 50,000 rupees in value, so the consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill before dispatch. Loading and unloading labour and transit insurance are arranged by you.
Ranjangaon dealers and suppliers ask
7 fridges to a dealer in Beed, one tempo ok?
Usually, if they are standard double-door models and stand upright in a closed-body Ace. Send the model sizes on the callback and we confirm.
Can refrigerators be laid flat to fit more?
We do not advise it. Most manufacturers ask for upright transport. A 14FT Eicher is the better answer when one tempo is not enough.
Can the tempo go to Shirur town only?
No. That is well under 100 km, and we only book intercity trips.
Open tempo or closed for appliances?
Closed. It keeps cartons dry and clean, and dealers reject marked boxes.
Will another customer's goods be loaded with mine?
No. One vehicle per consignment, direct to your receiver.
Who unloads at the dealer?
You or the dealer arrange unloading labour. The driver does not unload.
Do I need an e-way bill for eight washing machines?
If the value is above 50,000 rupees, which it usually is, yes. The consignor or consignee generates it.
How long to Aurangabad?
About 170 km, so same-day delivery is possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day. Allow for loading and unloading.
Can I send my family's appliances to Nashik?
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.
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.
Is the rate the same every week?
No. Rates are not fixed and move with the season, especially before Diwali. Each trip is quoted at booking with toll included.
