FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Titan Freight licensed to transport containerised Dangerous Goods?
Yes. Titan Freight is fully licensed and certified to handle the transport of containerised Dangerous Goods in line with the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADGC) and port authority regulations.
What areas do you service?
Titan Freight provides container transport and delivery services across Greater Sydney and Sydney Metro, including on-request services for Canberra and Newcastle.
Do you offer both FCL and LCL services?
Yes, we handle both Full Container Load (FCL) and Less-than-Container Load (LCL) shipments, tailored to your volume and budget.
What is the difference between FCL and LCL container transport?
FCL (Full Container Load) means you book an entire 20ft or 40ft container exclusively for your shipment. This is ideal when your cargo fills most of the space. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your freight shares container space with other shippers and you only pay for the cubic metres you use. FCL generally offers faster transit and lower risk of damage; LCL suits smaller, regular shipments where cost-per-unit matters more.
Can you deliver containers to residential addresses?
Yes, depending on access and local council regulations. Our team will assess your site to ensure safe and compliant delivery.
What equipment do you use for delivery?
We operate a fleet of sideloaders, B double and A double trailers to suit various container types and delivery requirements.
Do you provide container unpacking and storage?
Yes, we offer secure unloading and short- or long-term storage solutions at our facilities.
How does your customs coordination work?
Our team works directly with customs agents to ensure fast clearance and reduce delays, keeping your cargo on schedule
What if my delivery site has limited access?
We’ll work with you to arrange alternative delivery methods on weekends or schedule a time that suits your access conditions. You may check our sideloader services or request a quote.

What types of equipment do you use for container handling or live unloads?
What equipment do you use for live unloads?
Titan Freight operates a modern fleet of container transport equipment to handle live unloads safely and efficiently across Sydney and New South Wales. Depending on the container size, site access, and unloading requirements, we use sideloaders, tilt tray trucks, B-double trailers, A-double combinations, and standard container skel trailers.
For sites without loading docks or container handling equipment, our sideloaders can place containers directly on the ground for easy unloading. Tilt trays are ideal for specialised deliveries and difficult access locations, while B-double and A-double trailers provide efficient transport for larger freight volumes and long-distance movements.
Our experienced drivers and logistics team assess each delivery to ensure the most suitable equipment is assigned. Where required, we can also coordinate professional unloading crews and specialised handling equipment to assist with palletised, oversized, or sensitive cargo, helping minimise delays and keep your supply chain moving smoothly.
How much does container transport cost in Sydney?
Container transport pricing in Sydney varies based on several factors, including container size (20ft or 40ft), pickup and delivery locations, whether the container requires a live unload or drop-off service, and site access conditions. As a guide, local Sydney Metro container transport typically starts from approximately $400–$800 plus port charges for a 20ft or 40ft container. For an accurate price tailored to your requirements, contact Titan Freight with your specific transport details and our team will provide a customised quote.
How do I transport a container from Port Botany?
To transport a container from Port Botany, you need a licensed wharf cartage provider with access to the port booking system. The process typically includes customs clearance, securing a port collection slot, container pickup from the terminal, and delivery to your warehouse, depot, or project site. Titan Freight works closely with port operators, customs brokers, and transport partners to coordinate every stage of the container movement, helping minimise delays and ensure efficient delivery throughout Sydney and across New South Wales.
What is a sideloader truck and how does it work?
A sideloader is a specialised truck fitted with hydraulic lifting arms mounted on its side. These arms securely lift and lower shipping containers using the container’s corner castings, allowing containers to be placed directly onto the ground without the need for a crane, forklift, or loading bay. This makes sideloaders ideal for residential streets, warehouses without raised loading docks, construction sites, and locations with limited access or restricted overhead clearance.
Do I need a loading bay for container delivery?
Short answer is No. With a sideloader, containers can be placed directly on the ground at your site, eliminating the need for a raised loading bay or forklift. Standard skeletal trailer deliveries do require a loading dock. If your site has no dock, a sideloader is the right option. Titan Freight will assess your site in advance to recommend the safest delivery method.
Can a sideloader deliver to a residential address?
Yes, in most cases. Sideloaders are well-suited to residential streets because they can place containers on the ground without cranes or heavy loading equipment. Key requirements are sufficient road clearance (width and overhead), stable ground, and no obstructions on the driver’s side. Titan Freight can assess your site address before booking to confirm feasibility.
What is a live unload and when should I use it?
A live unload is a container transport service where the driver remains on site while your team unloads the container. Once unloading is complete, the driver immediately removes the empty container, eliminating the need for on-site container storage. Live unloads are ideal for businesses with limited space, time-sensitive or fragile cargo, or sites that have the staff and equipment available to unload the container within a specified timeframe, typically one hour. The alternative is a container drop-off service, where the container is left on site for a pre-arranged period, allowing you to unload at your convenience. However, extended container hire or detention charges may apply if the container is retained beyond the allocated free time.
How long does a live unload take?
Most live unloads are completed within one hour, particularly when palletised cargo can be unloaded using a forklift. Loose freight, oversized items, or fragile goods may require additional time. Titan Freight includes the first hour of unloading time in the quoted transport price, giving customers ample time to unload their container efficiently. To avoid delays and potential waiting time charges, it’s important to have the necessary staff, equipment, and site access ready before the container arrives.
How long does freight from Sydney to Melbourne take?
Container transport from Sydney to Melbourne typically takes between 2 and 3 business days, depending on the pickup location, delivery destination, freight volume, and scheduling requirements. Express and priority transport options may be available for time-sensitive shipments.
Transit times can also be affected by factors such as port operations, customs clearances, road conditions, weather, and delivery site access. Titan Freight carefully plans each movement to minimise delays and ensure reliable transit times for both import and export containers.
What is general cartage in freight logistics?
General cartage refers to the road transport of goods that don’t require specialised container handling — such as pallets, machinery, bulk goods, or oversized freight. It typically covers local, metro, and short regional routes using flat-bed, curtainsider, or tray trucks. Titan Freight’s general cartage service handles Sydney Metro delivery with same-day options for urgent cargo.
