Ulverstone Freight Services

Nestled at the mouth of the Leven River midway between Devonport and Burnie, Ulverstone is one of NW Tasmania's larger coastal towns — a Bass coast hub combining small business, trade services and retail. QFM aligns pallet and carton loads into Ulverstone from mainland origins via Tasmania's Devonport and Burnie gateways, with outbound pickups on request.

Mainland freight reaches Ulverstone via the Spirit of Tasmania into Devonport or the Port of Burnie, then out on the Bass Highway — the final leg is under half an hour from either gateway. Retail, trade and residential freight dominate the inbound mix, with on-forwarding to Penguin, Turners Beach and the Leven Valley available on request.
