Fruit & Veg

Every kind of fruit and vegetable, every farm, and every region requires its own specialised solutions. Our experienced team members are on the ground to understand the diverse needs and challenges of every customer – large and small.
We can also support with packaging and produce logistics:

• Supplier to farm: We can cart your cardboard packaging, empty crates, or bins directly from suppliers straight to your farm.
• Farm to market: Once your produce is packed and ready to go, we collect and transport it seamlessly into our national network.

Moving millions of pallets of fruit and vegetables a year requires great partnerships and an extensive, direct rail and road transport network. Connect your farm to every major market via our flexible, temperature-controlled road and rail transport.

• Dedicated F&V rail: We operate over 300 dedicated containers servicing our Far North Queensland rail network (including Mackay, Bowen, Innisfail, Townsville, and Cairns).
• Direct links: By connecting directly with our freight consolidation hubs, we offer direct rail links to all major capital cities.
• Growing corridors: Outside of FNQ, our direct rail model is live and growing across the East-West-East and SA-NT corridors.

With efficient handovers, consistent temperature controlled environments and reduced handling we find ways to deliver fresher food faster. If you’re just starting out, we can provide advice and guidance on quality, standards, timing, packaging, and compliance. To safeguard your hard work, we back this up with state-of-the-art cold chain equipment:

• Sensitive produce protection: Our purpose-built rail containers feature remote satellite GPS tracking, allowing us to monitor temperature ranges, track locations, and receive live fridge alarms.
• Hygiene first: Rail containers with flat, food-grade, easy-to-clean internal surfaces designed specifically with fresh produce hygiene in mind guarantee your produce remains in pristine condition.

We are actively investing in the future of Australian fresh produce logistics. Opening in 2027, our new state-of-the-art Sydney Chilled and Fresh Distribution Centre (SCFDC) is set to transform the fresh supply chain in New South Wales.

• Unmatched scale: This facility is set to be the largest temperature-controlled DC in the Southern Hemisphere.
• Automation for freshness: This semi-automated, multi-level facility is the first in our network to automate fruit, vegetable, and milk products—keeping them fresh from farm to shelf and providing faster, more reliable access to market.
