Australia’s Containers
Port to Door
Based in Melbourne, Orbit Trucking Group is an NHVR-accredited, PBS-approved heavy-haul and container logistics provider connecting ports, rail terminals, and distribution hubs.
Company Overview
Specialised Heavy Haul & Container Logistics.
Utilizing a robust fleet of prime movers and skeletal trailers, we facilitate efficient, end-to-end container movements across Victoria and interstate to seamlessly connect ports, rail terminals, and distribution hubs.
We are dedicated container specialists rather than general freight operators. Our primary expertise in container cartage is supported by complementary capabilities in line-haul, palletised freight, and heavy construction equipment transport, allowing us to serve as a single, dependable supply chain partner.
