Why choose Shams Transport

Accredited under the national scheme for heavy vehicle maintenance and mass management.

NHVAS is a national program run by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR). Accredited operators follow audited systems for keeping heavy vehicles maintained and loaded within legal limits. For you, it means your freight is carried by an operator whose safety systems are independently audited.

Approved to operate eligible vehicles at higher legal mass limits on approved routes.

Higher Mass Limits allow eligible heavy vehicles to carry more weight on approved roads, provided they meet strict requirements. This helps with heavier containers and can reduce the number of trips needed.

Licensed under section 77G of the Customs Act to hold goods subject to customs control.

A 77G licence allows a depot to receive, unpack and hold imported goods that have not yet been cleared by customs. It gives importers more flexibility when containers need to be handled before clearance is complete.

Licensed to transport packaged dangerous goods with trained drivers and placarded vehicles.

Transporting dangerous goods requires licensed drivers and vehicles, correct documentation, placarding and segregation. Our DG licensing means we can move packaged DG in containers and on pallets in line with the Australian Dangerous Goods Code.

Insured for our transport operations. Certificates of currency available on request.

We hold insurance for our transport operations. Ask us for a certificate of currency. Note that cargo insurance for the value of your goods is generally arranged by the owner of the goods — speak to your broker or forwarder.
