Equipment and specialist services

FTL & Palletised Freight Transport

Need to move a full truckload or palletised freight across Brisbane or South East Queensland? CCE Express provides dedicated FTL and palletised freight transport solutions for businesses requiring reliable pickup and delivery. We work with warehouses, importers, distributors, freight forwarders and commercial customers to move freight efficiently between locations. Curtain-side transport is available for suitable palletised and general freight requirements.

  • Dedicated truckloads for your freight only
  • Direct warehouse-to-warehouse transport
  • Distribution centre transfers and metro deliveries

Local Freight

Same-day local freight transport across metropolitan Brisbane, Logan and Ipswich. Whether it's a single 20ft box to a warehouse or a run of 40ft high-cubes to a distribution centre, you get live communication and drivers who know the port precinct.

  • Same-day metro Brisbane runs
  • 20ft, 40ft and high-cube containers
  • Live driver updates

Regional Freight

Regional freight transport throughout South East Queensland, including the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and the Darling Downs. Planned line-haul runs keep regional customers connected to the Port of Brisbane reliably and cost-effectively.

  • Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast & Toowoomba
  • Scheduled regional line-haul
  • Backload options to reduce cost

Dropdeck Transport

Dropdeck trailers give you a lower deck height and extra vertical clearance, making them the right choice for tall machinery, palletised freight, steel, building products and general cargo that won't fit a standard flat top. We run dropdeck transport across Brisbane, the Port of Brisbane and regional South East Queensland.

  • Lower deck height for tall loads
  • Machinery, steel, palletised and general freight
  • Gates, straps, chains and load restraint supplied

Single Skeletal Trailer Container Transport

Single skeletal trailers are the workhorse of container transport in Brisbane. Our sliding skels carry 20ft, 40ft and high-cube containers on a single trailer, giving you the shortest, most manoeuvrable combination for tight metropolitan yards, suburban warehouses and sites that can't take a multi-trailer combination.

  • 20ft, 40ft and high-cube capable
  • Sliding skels for weight and axle compliance
  • Best access for tight and suburban sites

Live Unloads

With a live unload the truck stays on site while your team unpacks the container, then takes the empty straight back to the container park. It's the fastest way to clear an import container when you don't have space to keep a box on the ground — and it removes container hire, storage and dehire trips from your cost base.

  • Truck waits while you unpack
  • Empty returned same day
  • No container hire or yard space required

Container Storage

Secure container storage in Brisbane for importers, exporters and freight forwarders who need somewhere to hold a box. We store laden and empty containers, stage freight close to your unpack site and hold export containers until the receival cut-off — with the truck already organised for the next move.

  • Laden and empty container storage
  • Short-term staging and long-term storage
  • Avoid wharf detention and demurrage

Container Transport & Dehire

End-to-end container transport and dehire: we collect from the Port of Brisbane, deliver to your site, then return the empty to the correct container park with the de-hire reference and park booking managed for you. No chasing depots, no unexpected hire days on your invoice.

  • De-hire reference coordination
  • Empty container park bookings and redirections
  • Proof of return and timestamps supplied

Import & Export Container Transport

End-to-end import and export container transport, from wharf collection and delivery to your unpack site, through to packing, weighing and return to the terminal ahead of the receival cut-off.

  • Import delivery & unpack support
  • Export packing and terminal delivery
  • Cut-off aware scheduling

Empty Container Returns

Fast empty container returns to the correct empty container park, coordinated with de-hire references and park availability so containers are off your yard and off-hired without delay.

  • De-hire reference coordination
  • Empty container park bookings
  • Avoid extra hire days
