Rail Freight

Connecting New Zealand's supply chain through sustainable, long-haul rail solutions.

CoLoad integrates the efficiency of the national rail network with our agile truck fleet to provide a multi-modal solution that reduces costs and emissions for your business.

Why Move by Rail?

Sustainability

Rail produces 70% fewer emissions than heavy road freight. Choosing rail is a significant step toward achieving your carbon reduction goals.

Superior Capacity

One train can move the same amount of freight as 70 trucks, providing high-volume capacity and reducing congestion on our roads.

Safety & Reliability

Rail is significantly safer than road transport. With dedicated tracks and professional dispatch, your cargo reaches its destination securely.
