Our history: The story of National Heavy Haulage

From humble beginnings to becoming a leader in heavy transport, National Heavy Haulage has built a proud history shaped by reliability, experience and a deep understanding of complex logistics. Our journey reflects a long-standing commitment to safety, transparency and client-focused service across Australia’s most demanding industries.

National Heavy Haulage was founded with a clear purpose: to provide dependable heavy transport solutions supported by careful planning and honest communication. From the outset, the business focused on delivering specialist haulage services for oversized and overmass loads, recognising the need for precision, compliance and trust in high-risk transport environments.

As demand grew, we expanded our capabilities, strengthened our operational systems and invested in people and equipment that could support increasingly complex projects across mining, construction, infrastructure and resource sectors.
