Quick Cargo HIAB crane truck delivering steel to a construction site

Delivery to any site

No two construction sites are the same — some have a dock and a forklift, many don't. We deliver to any site with the right vehicle for the job: HIAB crane trucks that self-load and unload heavy steel and precast, Moffett forklifts that get pallets onto uneven or unprepared ground, and flat-tops for long, awkward or hard-to-handle loads. Whatever the access, we get your materials where they need to be.

Express or general for your build schedule

Need materials on site at a set time to match your crew? Book Express for a booked time slot and priority handling. Pre-ordering ahead of a build phase? General moves it cost-effectively through our shared freight network. You buy the materials — we get them to site.

Hourly-rate transport for site work

Got multiple deliveries on the same run, or a job where the truck needs to wait on site? We offer hourly-rate transport for work that doesn't fit a single point-to-point quote — ideal for staged drops, multiple lifts or any delivery that needs the truck and driver on hand. Just choose hourly hire when you quote.

Construction Freight — Steel, Concrete & Timber Delivery

We move building materials from suppliers, warehouses, and yards to construction sites across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Whether it's a single pallet of bricks or a full truckload of steel, we handle the transport so you can focus on the build. We're the delivery company — you buy the materials, we get them to site.

What We Deliver

Steel beams and structural steel, concrete panels and precast products, timber packs and framing, bricks, blocks, and pavers, roofing materials, scaffolding, plasterboard and insulation, pipes, conduits, and fittings, sand, gravel, and bulk aggregates, tools and equipment.

If it goes into a building, we've probably moved it.

Trucks Built for Construction Sites

Construction sites aren't like warehouses — there's often no dock, no forklift, and the ground isn't flat. That's why most construction deliveries use specialised vehicles:

HIAB crane trucks — self-loading and unloading for heavy items like steel, precast panels, and timber packs. The crane lifts up to 2 tonnes at short reach.

Moffett forklifts — a truck-mounted forklift for unloading pallets on uneven ground, dirt, gravel, or unprepared sites.

Flat-top trucks — open deck for long or awkward loads. Available in rigids, semi-trailers and B-doubles.

Tautliner trucks — an enclosed, curtain-sided deck that keeps materials protected from the weather, with side access for forklift loading. Ideal for plasterboard, insulation, fittings and anything that needs to stay dry.

Express or General Freight

Express — booked time slot, priority handling, fastest route. Best for urgent deliveries or when you need the truck at a specific time to coordinate with your crew.

General — cost-effective option through our shared freight network. Best for non-urgent deliveries like pre-ordering materials ahead of a build phase.

Coverage

Construction material delivery is available across metro Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, and between east coast locations. For full truckloads, we deliver Australia-wide. We also offer general freight services Australia-wide for palletised materials.
