Visit websiteOverview
Suncoast Express has been a fixture of the Bass Strait freight corridor since 1980, providing daily express courier and general freight services between Tasmania and Victoria. Operating from their base in St Leonards in northern Tasmania, the company has built a reputation over more than four decades for reliable, time-sensitive delivery across the strait. The incorporation of St Helen’s Transport into their operations has further expanded their service capabilities and geographic reach within Tasmania.
The company maintains a diverse fleet that includes crane trucks, tipping vehicles, and sideloaders, enabling them to handle a wide range of freight types beyond standard palletised goods. This equipment versatility, combined with their daily Bass Strait scheduling, positions Suncoast Express as a practical choice for businesses that need consistent cross-strait logistics without the complexity of engaging multiple carriers for different freight types.
