Sands Fridge Lines

Overview

Established in 1979, Sands Fridge Lines is a family-owned business and one of Western Australia’s leading specialists in chiller, frozen, and ambient warehousing and transport distribution. Headquartered at their purpose-built facility on Dundas Road in Forrestfield, Perth, the company has grown over more than four decades into a comprehensive cold chain logistics provider serving metropolitan and regional WA. Despite considerable growth, Sands remains family owned under the direction of Managing Director Tony Sands, maintaining a hands-on approach to daily operations.

Sands Fridge Lines operates an extensive network of company-owned depots across regional Western Australia, servicing the South-West, Mid-West, Goldfields, Pilbara, and Kimberley regions. Their Forrestfield hub features large-scale temperature-controlled warehousing with a total capacity of 8,000 freezer pallets, 2,000 chiller pallets, and 4,000 dry pallets, all monitored around the clock.

Key Capabilities

Temperature-Controlled Transport

Sands Fridge Lines operates a dedicated fleet for chiller, freezer, and dry freight across the full breadth of Western Australia. South-West towns are serviced daily, while more remote locations receive deliveries three times per week. Metropolitan distribution supports line haul services for customers who also warehouse with Sands, creating an efficient end-to-end cold chain from storage through to final delivery.

Cold Storage Warehousing

The Forrestfield warehouse facility provides large-scale temperature-controlled storage across multiple regimes. The freezer warehouse features a combination of single and double deep racking for up to 6,500 pallets depending on configuration, with 14 loading docks and dedicated staging areas. The chiller facility features world-class design and construction with 24/7 temperature monitoring using state-of-the-art technology. Total storage capacity encompasses 8,000 freezer pallets, 2,000 chiller pallets, and 4,000 dry pallet spaces across covered and uncovered areas. A fully integrated security monitoring system with swipe card access protects all warehouse zones.

Regional WA Distribution Network

Sands operates company-owned depots in Bunbury, Busselton, Albany, Esperance, Kalgoorlie, Geraldton, Karratha, Port Hedland, Broome, and Kununurra. This extensive depot network provides reliable cold chain coverage across regional Western Australia, from the South-West through to the Kimberley. Each depot supports local distribution and acts as a consolidation point for onward freight to surrounding areas.
