Forrestfield Freight Services

The Forrestfield container freight terminal and Perth Airport's eastern cargo apron frame east Perth's only triple-mode precinct — air, rail and road all accessible from single-suburb pickup. Tenant mix spans freight-forwarders, container logistics, airport-support operators and light-industrial distributors. QFM handles Forrestfield freight across road, rail and air modes — pallet, container and time-critical uplift formats all fit the daily dispatch pattern.

Great Eastern Highway frontage opens east-west road dispatch to Adelaide and onto the east-coast capitals. Perth Airport sits 5 km north, putting air-freight uplift inside the tightest metro window. Kewdale's ARTC rail terminal sits minutes west for trans-continental rail hand-off. QFM schedules daily east-coast runs priced against all three modes and matches the sender's transit-versus-cost profile.

Forrestfield Freight Profile

  • Triple-Mode Access: Road (Great Eastern Highway), rail (Forrestfield + Kewdale) and air (Perth Airport) all reachable from a single precinct — rare in WA freight geography.
  • Container Freight Terminal: On-site container operations ease rail-bound palletised freight hand-off onto trans-continental services.
  • Airport-Adjacent Time-Critical Freight: Perth Airport 5 km north — time-critical air-bound uplift runs as a metro pickup inside airline cut-off windows.
  • East-West Road + Rail Parity: Daily lanes priced on both road and rail make the mode choice a commercial decision rather than a default.
