Moving What Others Can’t
At Simon National Carriers, we provide a national 3PL domestic logistics solution tailored for high-value and hard-to-handle products. From wharf to warehouse, to storage, pick, despatch and delivery, our legacy has been built on custom logistics solutions in sectors that need a personal touch.
We’re not about just our clients, but understanding what is important for our clients’ client. And that’s how we’re different, we listen.
With over 160,000m² of warehouse space across every mainland capital city in Australia, plus strategically located regional sites, we also cover freight delivery right across our vast country. Large enough to have presence, small enough to still care.
Strategic National Coverage
We operate a truly national logistics network, with 9 facilities strategically positioned across capital and regional cities including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, and Townsville. Collectively, we offer more than 160,000m² of undercover storage, supported by expansive yard space, including a diverse material handling mix.
Each warehouse is designed for secure, scalable storage that suits a wide range of hard-to-handle goods. We offer multi-client and dedicated storage arrangements, enabling complete separation of brands or customisation of space depending on volume and needs.
Optimised Inventory Control
Optimised Inventory Control
Our in-house developed WMS provides a very simple user interface for our clients to manage their inventory. Our standard offering in our 3PL warehouses includes tracking from the moment goods are scanned in at the item-level. This includes real-time inventory updates.
We offer batch control, serialised tracking, cycle counting, stocktaking, and FIFO control. For our more technical setups, we are integrated with many variants of ERPs and provide very technical interactions, allowing significant efficiencies for our customers’ product sale to delivery process.
Overall, our warehousing success is evident in our incredible track record of inventory accuracy.

We’re proud to have been a significant support function to the growth of many household brands that have helped shape Australia!
Genuine Multi-modal National Freight Network
With strategically positioned company infrastructure right across Australia, we have built a service position that provides the opportunity to be able to flex to client needs and deliver on our promise.
These assets include opportunities to utilise less than truckload, full truckload, specialised transport, rail, and ocean movements in order to optimise what will be the most efficient and effective mode for our clients.
Broad Fleet Mix
In order of being able to adapt and flex to client needs within our core “high value, hard to handle” markets served, we boast a diverse fleet mix.
This includes more than 230 varying trailer combinations, including open tops, drop decks, ramp trailers, specialised trailers, tautliners, mezzanine trailers, and a host of differing rigid trucks for local running. We also have one of the larger fleets of TransiFlat open deck rail containers of any fleet in Australia, which support the core of markets we service efficiently.
Smart Logistics, Delivered
With the ability to integrate our Freight Management System (FMS) to clients’ ERPs, clients have the choice of as logically complex an integration setup as required through to our user-friendly web-based Portal for all necessary functionality that assists with freight tasks.
Whether it be booking freight collection pickups, creating picks from our own warehouses, and the milestone notifications thereafter, all the way through to delivery, we will keep you updated, including geo-fenced PODs.
Our digital platform supports automated notifications, status updates, and access to update delivery requirements. We strive to reduce the administration load within our customers and provide confidence to your team to be able to focus on your business and not the freight task.

Handling the Unhandleable – The Simon Way
We thrive where others hesitate. High-value, hard-to-handle freight isn’t just part of our business—it’s where we excel.
With custom-built processes and systems, and decades of experience moving oversized, awkward, and fragile cargo, we approach every movement with a process-driven approach. It’s not just about getting it there—it’s about getting it there safely, securely, and without compromise. That’s the Simon Way.
Specialised Handling Equipment
Our warehouses and transport depots are equipped with specialised material handling equipment, including clamps, jibs, and heavy-lifting gear. These allow us to manage bulky, fragile, or irregular freight types that standard setups cannot safely handle or move.
Items like mobile plant and machinery equipment, industrial compressors, generators, and engines, escalators, and industrial HVAC units have been part of our handling DNA for many decades. We have 2,540 current combined years of experience handling these products.
Expertise Across Industries
Simon National Carriers supports key industries that help build our country. We have a strong connection to the construction sector, agriculture, energy, and defence sectors. If it’s awkward and a high-value product within these sectors, there is a strong chance we are going to be able to provide significant value to you while completing tasks compliantly and alongside an industry-leading safety reputation.
Clients rely on our understanding of specialised industry needs. Our teams, where relevant, liaise closely with project managers, engineers, and manufacturers to design logistics plans that work in sync with production timelines and installation requirements.
Trained Professionals on Every Job
Every member of our operations team undergoes thorough onboarding and regular training in compliance, load restraint, OH&S, and specialised freight handling.
We don’t outsource safety—we build it into our culture. This commitment to people ensures that freight is handled not just efficiently, but thoughtfully. We invest in training not only for compliance, but to give customers peace of mind that their freight is in capable hands every step of the way.
Trusted by Industry Leaders
From tech to transport, companies with high-value freight rely on Simon to get it right.
This trust is earned through clear scope setting, realistic commitments, open communication channels with real people, consistency of service, and a passion for continuous improvement and evolution.
“Our biggest asset, bar none, is our inventory; our last stocktake nationally came in at 99.9998%.” Michael Trad – GM Daikin Australia
Precision Logistics for Business-Critical Freight
High-value freight isn’t just about cost—it often represents critical business operations, while maintaining strict adherence to compliance obligations.
That’s why Simon’s logistics planning goes beyond the truck and warehouse. We map delivery timelines, manage staging requirements, and coordinate site-specific protocols to ensure high-value cargo arrives exactly when and how it’s needed.
Whether we’re supporting a just-in-time installation at a data centre, coordinating weekend delivery of commercial HVAC systems, or moving high-value generators in response to a natural disaster, we act as an extension of your team—ensuring your cargo arrives not only safely, but with purpose and precision.
Customised End-to-End Logistics
Simon National Carriers offers complete logistics solutions tailored to individual business needs—from wharf cartage and container unpack to pick, pack, and delivery. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all—we create flexible frameworks that match your freight, your flow, and your customer commitments.
This includes value-added services such as light assembly, light manufacturing, and reworks staging for project preparation deliveries. Our customers benefit from a simplified vendor management and a more efficient supply chain overall.
Flexible Infrastructure
With over 160,000m² of warehousing infrastructure across Australia and a fleet of over 150 prime movers and 230 trailers of differing configurations, we’re built for adaptability. We support seasonal peaks, project surges, and storage overflow with ease, without compromising service quality.
Each warehouse is configured for versatility—supporting both block stack and racked storage—and is equipped with tailored material handling equipment to suit all types of freight profiles.
Tailored Equipment & Handling
Every project has unique handling requirements. That’s why Simon provides access to a custom-configured national fleet, including drop decks, extendables, open trailers, and heavy-lift gear for complex freight.
We are experienced in managing high-value and difficult-to-handle loads using advanced, custom-designed load restraint techniques and purpose-built trailer setups—always with a focus on safety, damage prevention, and productivity.
Special Projects Logistics
Our Special Projects division specialises in planning, budgeting, and coordinating delivery to significant national infrastructure projects. These tasks require expert planning to deliver oversized, heavy, fragile, or complex cargo.
Generally, these jobs can entail thousands of loads into high-risk locations that entail strict compliance and site access requirements.
Our team provides tailored solutions including route planning, pilot vehicles, specialised trailers, and load restraint techniques—ensuring project commitments are met safely and efficiently, no matter the size or shape.

Simon National Carriers is a trusted provider of Defence logistics across Australia. We support suppliers and contractors working with government and military projects, where security, timing, and compliance are paramount.

We bring a high level of discreteness and accountability to every task, backed by fully accredited systems and a specially trained and security-cleared team.
