Mayfield Freight Services

The former BHP Newcastle steelworks site — now the Intertrade industrial precinct — anchors Mayfield alongside the Port of Newcastle's landside industrial belt, hosting DCs, heavy-engineering tenants, logistics operators and manufacturing sites on redeveloped heavy-industrial land. QFM handles Mayfield freight on road lanes across pallet, container, heavy-engineering and project-freight formats — the Hunter region's freight centre of gravity sits here.

M1 Pacific Motorway 10 km south connects Mayfield to Sydney (155 km, 2-hour transit) and onto Melbourne via the Hume. Pacific Motorway north runs to Brisbane for coastal long-haul. New England Highway west opens inland NSW and Queensland routing. QFM schedules daily departures on all three corridors, consolidates Hunter regional distribution through Mayfield (distinct from Newcastle-metro pickups), and prices project freight against the heavier consignments the precinct regularly ships.

Port of Newcastle Industrial Dispatch

Mayfield heavy-engineering and project freight often need specialist trailers — share longest-piece length, total weight, overhang and any permit already obtained so QFM can price the correct trailer class and any escort requirements.
