Border Express is excited to announce our new depot at 53 Rangebank Drive, Cranbourne West, VIC, set to open later this month. This strategic development represents a significant milestone in our growth journey, positioning us for greater operational efficiency and capacity expansion in the Southeast region.

Prime Location for Growth

Located approximately 15 minutes from our current facility, our new depot is strategically positioned in a major growth corridor. This prime location not only enhances our operational capabilities but also aligns with our commitment to better serve our pickup and receiver base.

Enhanced Capacity and Efficiency

The new depot boasts a 20,000 square meter shed, a substantial increase from our current 12,000 square meter facility. This purpose-built space features raised docks, a bulk layout tailored to our needs, one-way traffic flow, pallet racking, and larger staging areas. These enhancements translate to improved operational flow, reduced congestion, and increased productivity.

Expanded Office Space and Job Opportunities

With seating for more staff members, our new office space accommodates for more employees than our current setup. This expansion not only supports our growing team but also creates opportunities for individuals to step into leadership roles within the new site.

Operational Advancements and Sustainability Initiatives

The increased floor space allows us to handle larger volumes, redesign boundaries for more efficient service coverage, and enhance line haul capacity. Moreover, our new location opens doors to explore automation in sortation processes, adopt sustainable practices such as solar energy utilisation and waste diversion, upgraded security features and improved safety by separating material handling equipment from personnel through raised docks.

Future-Proofing for Growth and Stability

With a 40% increase in floor space capacity, our new depot ensures job security and stability for the next decade. This expansion not only supports our revenue growth objectives but also reflects our commitment to providing reliable and sustainable logistics solutions.

Trailer Parking and Accessibility

Our new depot offers ample parking space for 35 doubles, singles, Rigids and Prime Movers facilitating smooth operations and easy accessibility for our fleet.

Commissioning and Future Outlook

The new depot is set to be commissioned later this month, marking a new chapter in Border Express’s journey. We are excited about the opportunities this expansion brings and look forward to delivering exceptional service from our new home in Cranbourne West.

Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey of growth and innovation!
