Specialised Freight
When you're shipping hazardous or temperature-sensitive cargo, there's no room for guesswork. KiwiRail's teams provide the specialist support to move your freight safely by rail or sea.
Refrigerated (Reefer)
Some goods need powered refrigeration the whole way – others just need a well-insulated container. We'll help you work out which suits your freight and make sure the setup is right for the journey.
The right setup.
Your temperature-sensitive freight needs more than just a ride. We manage refrigerated containers end to end, keeping conditions consistent so your goods arrive in exactly the same shape they left.
Wraparound services
We can help with monitoring, compliance, and everything in between. If you need a generator for powering containers, we can arrange hire too. Whether you're moving meat, dairy or other temperature-sensitive cargo, we've got it covered.
Dangerous Goods
Hazardous cargo covers a wide range of freight – chemicals, gases, flammables, and more. If your goods carry any risk to people, property or the environment, they’re likely to be classified as dangerous goods. Not sure? It's worth checking before you ship.
Your responsibilities.
Moving dangerous goods comes with serious obligations. Documentation, packaging, labelling, loading – the rules are specific, everything must be in order before you hand your freight over.
Need help planning?
Our experienced team can also help you understand what's required from a compliance perspective, so you can prepare and ship with confidence.
