Altona North Freight Services

Refining, petrochemical operations, chemical manufacturing and heavy-industrial tenants occupy Altona North — west Melbourne's long-established industrial precinct framed by the West Gate Freeway, with tank farms, chemical plants and engineering workshops shaping the area's freight profile. QFM handles Altona North freight on road lanes across drum, IBC, pallet and DG-classified formats — tank-transfer and bulk-chemical freight runs on ADG-licensed carriers where the consignment demands it.

The West Gate Freeway gives Altona North direct east-west reach — Port of Melbourne ~10 km east via the West Gate Bridge, M80 west onto the Western Highway for Adelaide. QFM schedules ADG-licensed carriers on DG jobs, standard semi and B-Double lanes on general industrial freight, and consolidates with adjacent Laverton North runs where volumes align. Port staging and cross-dock dispatch into interstate lanes is a regular pattern.
