Storage Freight Services

Plastic bins and containers are air with structure — a pallet cubes to 1.5–2 m³ at very low weight, pricing cubic rather than weight. QFM moves storage freight across retail distribution (bins, shelving, racking), commercial warehouse installs and residential ecommerce fulfilment — each with different handling and delivery-window requirements.

Retail chain distribution runs scheduled pallet programs out of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane DCs; commercial receivers (offices, warehouses, retail back-of-house) draw from distributor DCs. Residential receivers are growing via ecommerce — flat-pack cartons through parcel networks, larger units through tail-lift delivery.

Storage Freight Profile

  • Storage Bin & Container Freight: Palletised plastic storage bins are cubic-heavy — a pallet cubes quickly at low weight. Dimensional accuracy matters; under-measured cubic triggers reclass adjustments. Retail distribution to chain stores and direct-to-consumer fulfilment.
  • Flat-Pack Shelving Distribution: Cartoned flat-pack shelving moves on pallet and carton networks — retail replenishment into furniture and hardware chains, direct-to-consumer from ecommerce warehouses. Weight-manageable cartons for carrier sortation.
  • Industrial Racking Freight: Commercial racking (Dexion, Schaefer, Colby style) ships in overlength steel components on flatbed — selectable racking rides standard pallet, drive-in and cantilever racking needs specialist overlength handling.
  • Residential Delivery Access Planning: Larger assembled storage units into residential addresses need doorway, stair and internal-access measurements confirmed pre-dispatch. Tail-lift arranged against item weight; parcel carriers handle smaller cartoned flat-pack.
