Construction transport in Melbourne's north
Epping, Thomastown, Campbellfield, and out to Whittlesea and Craigieburn.
North of the city
We run construction transport right across the north: the industrial streets of Thomastown and Campbellfield, Epping, and the growth areas further out in Whittlesea and Craigieburn. The trucks come up from our Braeside depot, and we run full flat top loads out to the newer suburbs.
Growth areas need full loads
New suburbs go up in stages: roads and drainage first, then houses, then shops and schools. Each stage needs materials in bulk, and bulk is what a flat top semi is for. A full load of pipe, steel or timber on a 12.5 m or 13.7 m trailer, carrying approx 20 to 24 tonnes, is one delivery instead of several. Send the longest piece and the total weight, and we'll confirm the trailer.
Long sections go on an extendable trailer. If a load is over the general limits, permits are checked per load and the move is planned as an oversize movement.
Thomastown and Campbellfield
Closer in, Thomastown and Campbellfield are full of fabricators, yards and manufacturers. Steel coming out of a fabrication shop needs to land on site in the order the crew will put it up. We load in that order, and deliveries can be staged and called up to the site program rather than dropped all at once.
Smaller drops and lifts
Not every job in the north is a full load. For a few pallets into a tight street, a 14 to 16 pallet tray truck is the better fit. For a load that has to come off with nothing on site to lift it, a crane truck brings its own crane, lifting approx 3.5 tonnes within 4 metres. That suits frames and trusses going onto house sites, and smaller site sheds. Every truck comes with one of our drivers.
Suburbs in the north
Local pages: Campbellfield and Somerton, Tullamarine, Epping, Thomastown and Reservoir and Craigieburn and Mickleham.
Finding new streets
Sites in new estates can be hard to find, because new streets aren't always on the map yet. If the address is new, send a map pin or the estate stage and lot number with the booking. Every truck carries live GPS, so the site can see where the load is, and each delivery comes back with proof-of-delivery photos.

Can you stage deliveries to a site in the north?
Yes. Loads can be staged and called up to your program, and pre-loaded the night before for an early start.
