Shamick Transport

What Shamick Transport does

Shamick Transport is an Australian heavy haulage carrier headquartered in Laverton North, Victoria, founded in 2009 and operating as a private Pty Ltd. The company specializes in over-mass and over-dimensional load transport, general cartage, and pilot vehicle services, with a fleet engineered for high-capacity, non-standard freight — Super tilts, twin steer tilt trays, quad deck float-trailers, drop deck float trailers, and extendable trailers capable of loads up to 60 metres in length, 9 metres in width, and 100 tonnes in mass.

The business serves construction (its primary vertical), mining, agriculture, manufacturing and steel fabrication, and relocation clients, with operations running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, nationally across Australia. Go-to-market is direct — project enquiries via phone, email, and a company website with a content blog — with cash-on-delivery terms applied to new clients. Recent capital deployment includes the addition of two new Supertilt trailers, signalling continued investment in over-dimensional hauling capacity.

The operating model is asset-heavy and project-based: revenue is generated per shipment via bespoke quotes tied to load dimensions, distance, escort requirements, and permit complexity rather than recurring contracts. Headcount is small (approximately 10 employees), there are no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or technology partnerships, and customer logos are not publicly listed, making the business a tightly-held specialist operator in a regulated niche of the Australian transport sector.
