About Us
For over 40 years, Howie Transport has proudly combined family values with industry expertise to become a trusted name in transport logistics. What began in 1985 as a single tilt tray delivering forklifts across South-East Queensland has grown into a trusted, specialised operation. Today, with a fleet of 17 trucks and 6 trailers, we provide reliable and efficient transport solutions that serve both local clients and businesses across Australia’s eastern seaboard.
From One Truck To A Trusted Fleet
Howie Transport’s story began in 1985, when founders David and Sue Howie turned their vision into reality with a single tilt tray delivering forklifts across South-East Queensland. Through determination, innovation, and an unwavering dedication to service, the business grew steadily, earning a reputation for reliability and expertise. Today, under the leadership of their daughter Leisa and her husband Kris Broome, Howie Transport continues to thrive while staying true to its family roots.
Operating from our head office in Archerfield, Brisbane, we serve South-East Queensland with local transport solutions while offering interstate logistics along Australia’s eastern seaboard. With shared depots strategically in Melbourne, Sydney, Mackay, and Townsville, our extensive network ensures transport services from Cairns to Melbourne to deliver equipment safely and on schedule every time.
Transport logistics are about more than just getting from point A to point B. It’s about ensuring safety, efficiency and peace of mind every step of the way. That’s why we’ve invested heavily in driver training programs, state-of-the-art equipment and compliance with all National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) standards.

Precision In Motion. Trust In Every Delivery
Every one of our deliveries tells a story of precision, care and decades of experience. Our purpose-built trailers are more than equipment. They’re the result of 40 years of specialised focus on forklift transport and material handling. Each vehicle in our fleet meets industry challenges, whether it’s manoeuvring through tight access areas or safely transporting high-reach forklifts.
It’s in the relationships we’ve built with clients—many who’ve been with us since the start—and in the trust they place in us to handle their business assets. By refining our processes and investing in technology, we ensure every piece of equipment arrives safely, efficiently, and ready for use. You’re not just hiring a logistics provider, you’re partnering with a team that understands transport logistics complexities and delivers custom solutions.
