Hotshot Transport Perth to Tom Price
Tom Price sits high in the Hamersley Range, at the centre of Rio Tinto's iron-ore country. It's roughly 1,400 km from Perth, so a part that stops production there is a genuinely urgent problem.
We run dedicated hotshots from the Perth supply base straight to Tom Price and the surrounding mines, with 2UP for the breakdowns that can't wait for morning.

Iron-ore country, tight windows
Mount Tom Price and the operations around it run hard, and a missing hydraulic part or drill component can idle expensive plant. When that happens the clock starts the moment you call.
We load in Perth, run the Great Northern Highway north and cut across to the Hamersley Range, delivering direct to site rather than dropping freight in town.

Tom Price hotshot FAQs
Tom Price is roughly 1,400 km from Perth, high in the Hamersley Range, making it one of the longer Pilbara hauls we run. For urgent freight we use 2UP with two drivers so the vehicle keeps moving within fatigue rules, and dispatch gives you a realistic arrival window for your specific load.
Yes. We run mine-spec compliant vehicles and deliver to Mount Tom Price and the surrounding Hamersley Range operations, planning the run around site access so the freight reaches the work rather than stopping in town.
Yes, dispatch is staffed 24/7. If a part frees up late in Perth or a site goes down overnight, we can load and start north straight away instead of waiting for business hours.
Anything from a single breakdown part to drill rods, hydraulic components, fabricated steel, palletised freight and light machinery or site vehicles on a tilt tray. We match the right vehicle to the load before the run leaves.
2UP means two drivers share the vehicle, swapping so it keeps moving while each rests within heavy-vehicle fatigue rules. On the long haul to Tom Price it's the fastest legal way to get a production-critical part there, because the vehicle doesn't stop overnight.
Tell us the site and its entry conditions when you book and we plan the run around induction, PPE and gate access so the vehicle isn't held at the gate on arrival.
Every run is quoted on distance, the vehicle the load needs and how urgent it is, so there's no fixed price. Call dispatch with your pickup, the Tom Price destination and what you're moving for a fast, clear quote.
Yes. If you have gear that needs to come back to Perth, mention it when you book and we plan the return leg so your cartage stays efficient rather than running empty one way.
When site is down, time costs money.
