About Us

History

Wettenhall Logistics is a Family owned company with the experience of nearly fifty years of service to the transport industry in Australia. Our heritage dates back to the 1600's when we sold the farm in England to purchase barges, to cart freight up and down the canals. Since then every generation of Wettenhall have had a roll in transport in some form.

Our aim at Wettenhall Logistics is to offer a total Logistics solution for our customers from transport, warehousing, container handling, pick and pack, re-pack, destruction and disposal of damaged goods.

We currently run a fleet of 25 trucks. This includes 4 b/doubles, 11 semis and 10 rigid vehicles; our trailer fleet consists of flat tops, std skels, tipper skels, taut liners and 2 Side Loaders. The warehouse at Dandenong is 4,000 square meters, we can supply racked or bulk stack storage.

Our wharf services include on line bookings for time slots at Patrick's and P&O, container transport to and from Melbourne's waterside areas. We can deliver your container onto your loading dock or on the ground with a Side Loader. Raw materials can be delivered in bulk via our tipper trailer. Containers can be held in our container storage area at Lecton Drive. We can also store your product and load it into containers at request, or we can unload your containers and redeliver to you when required we have four loading ramps for unloading and loading vans, stuffing and de-stuffing containers.

The re-pack service can handle all types of work from promotional show bags, re-boxing, re-labelling, palletising & destruction of out of date and damaged goods. ie: BMW promotional work, Kitten Car Care Buckets, Mothers Day & Fathers Day promos for Sara Lee, Continental Cup a Soup Promos for Unilever and Coca Cola rework & destruction.

Profile

Shifting freight has been part of the Wettenhall tradition since 1534 when the British chapter of the clan sold off the family estates to buy into a canal barge business. The Australian branch of the family tree didn't have to sell the farm to get into trucks - they started on the ground floor and worked their way up.

Our experience in Transport started in the 1955's with Bob & John Wettenhall pioneering in running over-night freight between Melbourne and Sydney for customers such as Metelex and Monsanto.
