FREIGHT TRADERS LTD SHIP HEAVY RAIL MAINTENANCE FLEET TO AUSTRALIA

Freight Traders Ltd (FTL) has successfully delivered another high-stakes project cargo movement across the Tasman!.

Our team recently managed the complex multi-modal 110 tonne export of a specialized rail maintenance fleet from Auckland, terminating safely at the Port of Brisbane.


The heavy, out-of-gauge cargo lineup included:

A rail tamper
A Zephir rail car mover
A ballast regulator


The Precision Logistics Plan:

  • Pre-Shipment Inspection Plan: Inspecting the assets to draft a rigorous, safety-first transport blueprint.
  • Site Safety Compliance: Adhering to strict rail industry safety standards during the initial loading phase at the Otahuhu siding.
  • Biosecurity Compliance: Executing strict cleaning protocols to meet Australia's uncompromising quarantine barriers before arrival.
  • The Otahuhu Lift: Under strict rail corridor health and safety compliance, we executed a heavy crane lift to load the assets onto specialized transporters.
  • Port Transit & Lift: Securely transported the fleet to the Port of Auckland, where we secured heavy lift permits and coordinated a second crane operation to transfer the cargo onto MAFI trailers.
  • Certified Securing: A marine surveyor inspected and signed off on all lashing and securing protocols to guarantee safe shipping.
  • Ocean Freight: Rolled smoothly onto a specialized Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessel bound for final discharge at the Port of Brisbane. 

This specialized move highlights our capability to safely execute high-stakes industrial projects within heavily regulated environments. A huge thank you to our team, crane operators, surveyors, and partners!
