Lee's Transport

What Lee's Transport does

Lee's Transport is a privately held, family-owned Australian heavy haulage and freight company, 50% indigenous-owned, headquartered in the Kwinana/Naval Base industrial precinct of Perth, Western Australia. The company provides freight transport, oversize load and low loader services, heavy equipment haulage, and end-to-end project management for mining, oil and gas, and construction customers across Australia, with an operational footprint spanning bases in Kwinana, Wattleup, Karratha, and Brisbane, plus laydown and undercover storage facilities near Pilbara resource projects.

Its core technology stack is operational rather than digital: a satellite-tracked fleet of prime movers, platform trailers, drop deck trailers, road trains, and low loaders supports real-time freight monitoring, complemented by in-house project management covering permits, escorts, route planning, load securing, and police coordination for oversized and complex loads. Compliance infrastructure includes ISO 9001 quality certification, AS/NZS 4801 and OHSAS 18001 safety certifications, and Bechtel-approved contractor status for tier-one LNG work.

The business operates a professional services / contract transport revenue model, with quote-based pricing for enterprise customers and project-based engagements with EPC contractors and resource owners. Customer acquisition is direct enterprise field sales, primarily via phone, email, and the company website, supported by listed project references. Revenue streams include freight transport, laydown storage at Port Hedland, Broome, and Onslow, undercover storage in Kwinana, and ancillary equipment sales. Customer concentration is high, anchored by repeat engagements with CB&I, Theiss, Chevron, BHP, Hitachi, AGC, and Downer EDI on major resource projects.
