Transport Solutions
Chemical and industrial product transport requires careful planning because the transport requirements can vary significantly depending on the product, quantity, packaging, classification, route and destination. Lodestar Transport can assess suitable transport requirements for chemical and industrial freight where the relevant vehicle, driver, documentation, packaging, handling and regulatory requirements can be met.
Customers requesting chemical transport should provide complete product information before a booking is confirmed. This may include the product name, Safety Data Sheet (SDS), dangerous goods classification where applicable, UN number where applicable, quantity, package type, total weight, dimensions, pickup location, destination and any site-specific requirements. Providing this information early allows the transport requirements to be assessed properly.
DESIGNED FOR PERTH BUSINESSES
Chemical transport can involve a wide range of industrial products, including packaged chemicals, water-treatment products, cleaning chemicals, industrial consumables and other regulated or non-regulated products. Not all chemicals have the same transport requirements. Some may be classified as dangerous goods, while others may not be. The correct classification and applicable Australian and Western Australian requirements must therefore be established before transport.
Lodestar’s role is to provide a practical transport solution that respects the requirements applying to the freight. Safety must not be compromised for speed or convenience. Depending on the product, the transport arrangement may require specific packaging, segregation, placarding, emergency information, load restraint, vehicle suitability, driver competency, site procedures or other controls.
This service can be particularly relevant to industrial businesses, water-treatment companies, manufacturers, mining suppliers, engineering businesses, cleaning companies, laboratories, agriculture and other organisations that move chemical or industrial products as part of their operations.
For businesses in Perth and regional Western Australia, chemical transport can also involve long-distance and remote deliveries. A delivery to a regional industrial facility or project site may require additional route and site planning. The customer should provide the exact delivery location and any access, induction, unloading or receiving requirements.
