Logistics hub - Manawatu

Our new multi-million-dollar transport cross-dock facility opened in Longburn on 17 September 2024. With Hall’s large Storage facility and Manawatu Inland Port located at Longburn already, the addition of this Transport facility secures Hall’s in the Manawatu region as provider of a vast range of cold chain logistics services for our customers.

An import and export hub for chilled and frozen products, the site is connected directly to a national transport network as well as providing both a rail and road gateway to all of New Zealand ports.

Hall’s Longburn site provides customers with the opportunity to de-hire containers back into Manawatu Inland Port, eliminating the shipping cost back to port (and minimising the opportunity for demurrage). This also helps to reduce trucks on the road, thereby reducing the number of empty containers moving around the country, resulting in reduced carbon emissions.

Hall’s can provide a 1-stop-shop from origin-to-port destination, or port destination to unique customer delivery points around New Zealand.

We provide container transport, on-power container storage, devanning/vanning, blast freezing, storage, pick and pack, and delivery to customers around New Zealand.
