Frequently asked questions
What is crowd funding?
Crowdfunding a product is essentially a method of pre-funding the manufacturing process. Instead of a business owner using all their own savings or a bank loan to produce a batch of goods, they invite the public to purchase the item before it has been mass-produced.
If the public doesn't support the project, it simply fails to launch, and the project is cancelled.
What happens if we don't reach our target?
If this project isn't backed 100% you will be refunded in full from June 1.
June 30, 2026 at the latest, transaction times may vary depending on banks.
Quality?
Sure is! Lemke is a trusted manufacturer and if you have purchased any of my containers you know the quality I am striving for. These are professionally made in a factory overseas.
This is not a kit, these are painted, pad printed and ready for your layout
Do I pay now or later?
I have chosen to use this platform to handle the orders and payments, this means taking the money up front. By doing it this way we all save money. Crowd funding sites have fees from 10-15%.
There are no extra fees involved if the project is successful.
Does it move?
Unfortunately not, it is a static model, however it does sit on the track (plastic wheels) and the top part can spin 360 degrees and the arm can move.
Delivery date?
If this project is backed 100% the hi-rails will be delivered to Australia in October / November, packed and sent to backers ASAP.
Please note this date is set by Lemke and the factory.
Updates will be provided via email and here on this page.
Shipping cost?
Australia wide shipping cost is $10 if you purchase 1 or more vehicles.
Outside Australia? Please contact us for a custom price
