Enabling zero-emissions goods movement and decarbonising supply chains.
Welcome to Magway, where cutting-edge technology meets sustainable logistics.
Our system offers an innovative goods transport solution that utilises linear motors and a network of underground/overground pipelines to move goods swiftly and efficiently. By integrating automation and zero-emission technology, Magway transforms the way goods are transported, offering a greener alternative to traditional methods. From large-scale distribution centers to urban delivery hubs, our system streamlines logistics operations, reduces congestion and minimises environmental impact. Join us in shaping the future of transportation with Magway.
You might wonder...
We have developed various working prototypes in 8,500 sq ft facility in North Wembley. We have been testing our demonstration circuit for the past 18 months and have collected data from thousands of kilometres of operation. We have also completed the detailed design of a 1 km commercial pilot.
Magway offers many advantages over traditional conveyor belt systems in bulk material handling. It excels in energy efficiency by powering only the carriages transporting goods, resulting in lower operational costs. Magway's circular design principle ensures longevity with minimal moving parts, enhances safety by eliminating worker contact and reduces environmental impact through lower emissions.

Depending on the use and the user's requirements, Magway can carry up to 250 kg on a single carriage.
