Pick a mode, use the pallet presets, and say what the site can and cannot do — forklift, dock, timeslot, height limit. No account, no card.
Compare and book
Carriers come back progressively, every price normalised to the same chargeable weight so the comparison is real. Choose one, add transit cover, pay.
Track to the POD
One tracking page and one status language, whichever carrier is on the road. Download the proof of delivery when it lands.
- Chargeable weight, normalised
- Australian carriers each price on their own cubic conversion factor — 250 on express, 333 on general road. Hodago recalculates every quote onto the same basis and shows you the weight it charged on.
- Transit cover at booking
- Road carriers trade under limited liability. Cover is included on every booking, a paid top-up is offered before you pay, and the exclusions are on screen first.
- Chain of Responsibility evidence
- Mass, dimensions, loading method and site constraints are captured as structured data rather than notes in a comment box, and retained as HVNL evidence.
- Dangerous goods, done properly
- UN number, class, packing group and aggregate quantity are captured at quote and the job is routed to a DG-licensed carrier.
Yes. Hodago quotes and books tail-lift, HIAB crane-truck and Moffett truck-mounted-forklift movements online, without a phone call. Most Australian freight aggregators route these to an enquiry form instead.
No. Quoting is anonymous — enter the route and the freight and you get comparable prices from the carrier network. An account is only needed for saved addresses, credit terms and order history.
Australian carriers charge on the greater of dead weight and cubic weight, and each applies its own cubic conversion factor — commonly 250 on express freight and 333 on general road freight. Hodago recalculates every carrier's quote onto the same basis and shows the weight the price was built on.
It goes to an operator rather than to a dead end. Oversize, over-mass and dangerous-goods movements are risk-triaged at quote time and priced manually, with a priced quote issued within four business hours.
Hodago selects the carrier from its network using vehicle capability, lifting equipment, site access and price, then books and manages the movement. Whether the carrier is named to you is set on your account.
