Hamilton Freight Services

Commercial capital of the Western District wool zone, Hamilton blends wool-industry equipment supply, wind-farm construction logistics and a broad rural-trade base into a freight profile shaped by open-country economics. QFM nets pallet, carton and project loads into the town from all Australian capitals via the Glenelg Highway from Melbourne, with outbound pickups arranged on request.

Three and a half hours west of Melbourne, Hamilton also connects south to Portland's deep-water port and west toward the SA border. Wind-farm construction activity across the Western District adds project freight to the traditional wool and trade base. Regional on-forwarding to Horsham, Ararat, Dunkeld, Casterton and Portland covers the wider south-west.
