Dangerous Goods Transport Across Australia
With dangerous goods, getting it wrong is a safety and legal problem, and the liability reaches back to the business that sent the load. We carry hazardous freight across Australia in line with the Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code, with the classification, segregation and documentation these loads legally require.

The Dangerous Goods We Move
We carry packaged dangerous goods across the classes businesses regularly need shipped, including:
Flammable Liquids (Class 3)
Solvents, paints, fuels and similar.
Corrosives (Class 8)
Acids and alkalis.
Oxidising Agents (Division 5.1)
Substances that readily supply oxygen and increase fire risk.
Non-Flammable, Non-Toxic Gases (Division 2.2)
Compressed gases that aren't themselves flammable or toxic.
Miscellaneous (Class 9)
And other classes on request.
Because a load's classification decides what it can travel with, how it's segregated and what paperwork it needs, we confirm the details of your specific goods before we quote rather than assume.
Why Compliance Isn't Optional Here
Dangerous goods on the road are governed by the ADG Code, and heavy-vehicle safety obligations sit under the Heavy Vehicle National Law, administered by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator. We operate to both. In practice that means correct classification and labelling, compatible segregation so incompatible goods never travel together unsafely, proper placarding, and the transport documentation the law requires. All of this also protects you as the consignor, because your obligations don't disappear once the freight leaves your dock.

Getting DG Freight Moving
DG-classified goods can't travel as ordinary general or pallet freight. They need a compliant service like this one. Dangerous goods travel on our interstate and regional network with compliance maintained across state borders, and regular DG movements can be set up as a scheduled service.
If your goods aren't DG-classified:
Compliant by default, not by chance: send the SDS and UN numbers with your enquiry and we'll quote faster and more accurately.
