About Freightquip

Freightquip was founded in 2001 with a clear purpose: to lift the standard of freight handling equipment and provide industries with practical, long-lasting solutions. From the start, our focus was on delivering dependable, well-engineered products that could withstand the demands of day-to-day operations.

In the early 2000s, we focused on consolidating our technical capability and sector understanding. This included navigating the stringent compliance requirements for rail certification in Australia, securing early sales with major customers, and laying the groundwork for long-term industry trust.

We built our reputation through reliable product support and close collaboration with OEMs by refining equipment specifications to suit local operational demands. At the same time, we worked to grow the presence of the brands we represented, helping transition them from new market entrants to recognised leaders across our region.

The onset of COVID-19 marked a turning point. With global aviation facing an extended pause, the industry slowed—planes grounded, terminals quiet. While some retreated, we took a longer view. This was not just a moment to survive, but a chance to evolve.

Freight never stopped moving. Rail and port sectors were facing increased demand as global logistics adapted. We redirected our focus, applying our aviation experience to new sectors that needed the same level of reliability and support.

Our move into port and rail logistics was not a stopgap. It was a deliberate strategy—to build capability in adjacent markets where equipment quality, serviceability, and support were just as critical.

Today, Freightquip operates across three core sectors—Aviation, Rail, and Ports & Terminals. We continue to focus on practical, high-performance equipment backed by industry understanding and responsive local support.

Freightquip is no longer defined by a single sector. Our work now spans the full freight handling landscape.

From airside to trackside to dockside, we supply robust equipment and support that help keep freight moving efficiently and safely.
