Supporting National<br />

Manufacturing Week<br />

Toll Priority in Melbourne recently participated in the National<br />

Manufacturing Week Expo held at the Melbourne Convention &<br />

Exhibition Centre.<br />

Over 12,000 people attended the four day expo covering around<br />

300 exceptional displays featuring automation and robotics, air<br />

technology, manufacturing software solutions, general tooling and<br />

industrial equipment.<br />

It was deemed the most successful<br />

exhibition to date, and next year this<br />

expo moves to the harbour city, Sydney.<br />

Toll Priority had the opportunity to network with some very prominent<br />

customers and had much success promoting its overnight and global<br />

services to many iconic Australian and overseas brands.<br />

A special mention should go to Sandra Douglas from the Melbourne<br />

Toll Priority sales department. Her efforts were tireless throughout the<br />

entire week and Sandra was greatly supported by many of the other<br />

sales colleagues.<br />

A Liquid Solution for<br />

Woodside Energy<br />

Toll Liquid Distribution was recently awarded a five-year contract<br />

worth over $2 million annually, to cart bulk liquid condensate<br />

between the Woodside Energy Ltd joint venture facility at Port<br />

Campbell and the Shell Refinery in Geelong.<br />

Toll Liquid Distribution General Manager, Rupert Hussey said that<br />

Toll worked closely with Woodside and Origin Energy to develop a<br />

solution enabling all parties to benefit from the volumes already being<br />

transported by Toll into the Geelong Refinery.<br />

“The outcome was a cost effective solution for both Origin and<br />

Woodside that also helped Toll to maximise equipment utilisation,”<br />

Mr Hussey said.<br />

The Woodside work will employ two 25 metre B-Double tankers on a<br />

7 day, 24 hour operation.Toll chose the short bonneted T404, 515 HP<br />

Caterpillar powered Kenworth to pull a 25 metre tanker combination<br />

that also sports a new suspension package, providing the customer<br />

with an additional 400 kg payload.<br />

Mr Hussey said, “Although 400 kg does<br />

not sound like much, when extrapolated<br />

over the life of the contract it adds up to<br />

some significant savings for our customer.”<br />

Given Toll Liquid’s focus on safety, it was natural that both prime<br />

movers came fitted with GPS tracking via Eze-Trak as well as the new<br />

OptAlert glasses that assist in identifying when a driver is drowsy<br />

behind the wheel.<br />

In combination with the other tools already in place to manage driving<br />

hours and fatigue, Toll Liquid Distribution believes that the inclusion<br />

of Eze-Trak and OptAlert ensures that Toll Liquid Distribution is well<br />

placed to maintain our enviable safety record into the future.<br />
