Building materials, contractor supplies, rural deliveries. On time, handled right, placed where it needs to go.
A delivery service that drops freight at the kerb and leaves is useful. A delivery service that can crane building materials over a fence onto a steep Wellington site, or drive a farm track to get pallets to the right shed, is considerably more useful.
CDT Transport's HIAB crane is what turns a standard delivery into a complete delivery. For builders and contractors, that means materials placed on the site - not left in the driveway. For rural customers, it means getting to the end of the track and still being able to unload without manual labour. For anyone dealing with a difficult access property, it's the difference between the job being finished and the job being half-done.
CDT's delivery services cover building material delivery for builders and developers, contractor delivery for tradespeople who need supplies at the right time and in the right place, machinery delivery for equipment purchases and relocations, and rural delivery to farms and lifestyle properties throughout Wellington and the Wairarapa.
Any builder or renovator who's wrestled with a site that has narrow access, a hillside location, or no loading bay knows the frustration intimately. Steel beams, timber packs, concrete panels, roofing materials - building material delivery gets them placed precisely where you need them, not dumped on the kerb for your crew to drag around later.
The crane lifts materials over fences, threads them between buildings, or swings them up onto higher floors when there's no room for a standard forklift to operate. Anyone who's tackled a renovation in Te Aro, Mount Victoria, or Kelburn knows how steep and tight those streets become - the compact truck navigates residential streets and heritage zones where big rigid trucks physically cannot squeeze through.

Trade contractors who need tools, equipment, or materials shuttled between job sites at pace need someone genuinely dependable. Time-critical deliveries for sparkies, plumbers, scaffolders, and demolition crews working against tight deadlines can't afford delays or vague arrival windows - your gear turns up when you actually need it, and if the load's heavy, the crane handles unloading on the spot.
Wellington's compact job sites frequently lack the space for large delivery vehicles to even turn around, let alone unload safely. Whether it's Lower Hutt industrial parks or residential streets through Porirua, contractor delivery adapts to whatever your site conditions throw up, with pickup and drop-off times that bend around your crew's schedule.

Businesses shifting compressors, generators, small diggers, or workshop equipment between locations need transport and lifting sorted as one package - not cobbled together from separate providers. The HIAB crane bridges that middle ground: machinery too heavy for manual unloading but not so massive it warrants a full crane hire. Machinery delivery combines transport and lifting into a single service, which means simpler planning and clearer pricing.
| What Gets Moved | Where It Goes |
|---|---|
| Compressors and generators | Commercial and industrial sites |
| Small excavators and plant | Building sites across Wellington |
| Workshop equipment | Business relocations |
| Art installations and sculptures | Galleries, public spaces - precision placement |
Alan's background in stage rigging proves useful when assessing complex lifts around Wellington's heritage buildings and cramped commercial spaces. Coverage extends to Kapiti Coast industrial areas and Wairarapa farming properties where machinery needs rural transport.
Machinery Delivery Details →Living on a lifestyle block, running a rural business, or owning a remote property beyond normal courier zones? Building supplies, water tanks, farm equipment, and other oversized items reach properties with unsealed roads or severely limited vehicle access. The crane's reach means materials land inside paddocks, sail over gates, or get set down beside sheds - even when trucks can't venture onto soft ground.
Real talk: Rural deliveries can be wonderfully unpredictable. Ground conditions don't always match what was described over the phone - a "good gravel track" might turn out to be something rather more adventurous. That's precisely why direct phone contact with Alan matters: you can problem-solve together in real time if the situation looks different once the truck arrives.
Wairarapa and Kapiti Coast properties often face frustratingly long waits from bigger delivery companies - rural delivery prioritises regional jobs so you're not left wondering when someone might eventually show up.
