Event & Show Freight Transport — Exhibitions, Trade Shows & Corporate Events
Quick Cargo is an Australian freight and logistics company that handles the transport side of events — getting your equipment, displays, and materials to the venue on time and picking it all up when it's done. Whether it's a trade show, corporate event, festival, or exhibition, we move the heavy stuff so your team can focus on the setup.
What We Move
Staging and truss, AV and lighting equipment, exhibition stands and display units, marquees and temporary structures, signage and banners, catering equipment, generators, portable bars and counters, promotional materials and merchandise.
Why Events Use Us
Events run on tight timelines — if your equipment doesn't arrive, the show doesn't go on. Event freight is a Priority job: Quick Cargo collects about 3 days before the event, moves it to the destination city, holds it at the Quick Cargo warehouse there, and delivers to the venue at the scheduled bump-in time — then collects at bump-out. Express freight is available same-day across metro Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with interstate pallet and part-load freight available through Priority. Quick Cargo has run event bump-ins and bump-outs with trucks scheduled every hour and up to 10 trucks on site at a time. Where the job needs the truck to wait on site or run multiple loads across the day, hourly hire keeps the truck and driver on hand for as long as you need. HIAB crane trucks for heavy staging, tail lift trucks for venues without loading docks, flat-tops for oversized structures.
Point-to-point or hourly hire
Choose point-to-point for a straightforward delivery to the venue and a separate pickup for bump out, or hourly hire when you've got staged drops, multiple runs, or need the truck and driver waiting on site through bump in and bump out. Get an instant quote and we'll price the best option.
Priority or Express
Priority — Quick Cargo collects about 3 days before the event, moves it to the destination city, holds it at the Quick Cargo warehouse there, and delivers to the venue at the scheduled bump-in time — then collects at bump-out.
Express point-to-point — a dedicated truck and driver, your freight only, same-day across metro Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Express hourly hire — truck and driver by the hour for staged drops, multiple runs, or waiting on site through bump-in and bump-out.
General — the lowest-cost option through the shared network. Not a timed service: no booked slot and no guaranteed day, so only for materials that can arrive well before the event.
Coverage
Metro Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane for all vehicle types. Interstate event freight available across the east coast. For full truckloads, we deliver Australia-wide.
Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle bump out as well? Yes. We pick up your equipment after the event too.
What if the venue doesn't have a loading dock? We provide tail lift trucks for ground-level unloading and HIAB trucks for heavy equipment.
Can you collect early and deliver at bump-in? Yes. Quick Cargo collects about 3 days before the event, moves it to the destination city, holds it at the Quick Cargo warehouse there, and delivers to the venue at the scheduled bump-in time — then collects at bump-out.
