Operating out of Townsville Port and Rail, we specialise in container cartage across the region, providing reliable transport for importers, exporters, and local industries alike.

Our modern sideloader trailers are purpose-built for fast, flexible container handling — ideal for quick turnarounds and direct delivery where cranes or forklifts aren’t available.

From the Port of Townsville to regional hubs and remote destinations, Nortrans deliver dependable container transport solutions backed by local knowledge, compliance, and care.

Our sideloader and container fleet includes:

20ft & 40ft Sideloader Trailers – for direct lift-on/lift-off at your site or yard.
Standard Skel Trailers – for efficient port-to-yard container transfers and deliveries.
B-Double & Road Train Configurations – for high-volume, long-distance hauls across North Queensland.

Whether it’s a single container or a full fleet movement, we’ve got the equipment and expertise to handle it. We understand the importance of timing, safety, and communication and we make sure every container arrives where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. Nortrans container cartage done right.
