CDT Transport delivers building materials to construction sites across Wellington - and places them where the building team needs them, not where the truck found it easiest to stop. The HIAB crane is what enables this. Where a standard delivery truck drops materials at the site boundary, CDT lifts them over fences, up slopes, or into position on the site itself.
For Wellington's steep-site residential construction market, this is a genuine differentiator. Many Wellington building sites are on slopes where crane-assisted placement of framing materials, structural steel, or precast panels saves hours of manual handling that standard delivery forces on the building team. CDT's compact truck also means sites that wouldn't accept a full-sized delivery vehicle are accessible.
CDT works with Wellington builders on both project-specific deliveries and as a regular delivery provider for ongoing work. If you're a builder with a steep-site or tight-access Wellington project, discuss your material delivery schedule early - getting CDT's crane-assisted delivery built into the programme avoids the delays that come from trying to organise it at the last minute. Call Alan on 027 444 2191 to discuss your building material delivery requirements.
Absolutely - HIAB crane service reaches sloped sites where conventional trucks can't reverse or turn around. This suits hillside areas right across Wellington where standard delivery simply falls short.
Timber packs exceeding 500kg, steel beams, full plasterboard loads, roofing bundles, and any materials requiring placement beyond manual carry distance all call for crane delivery. Heavy or awkwardly shaped items benefit the most from this approach.
The truck needs sufficient room to park with its outriggers deployed - roughly 4 metres wide. The crane reaches up to 8 metres from the truck's position, which comfortably covers most residential sites.
Yes - CDT's service spans the wider Wellington region including Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, Kapiti Coast, and Wairarapa. Alan handles sites throughout the region with the same crane-assisted delivery service.
Delivery gets rescheduled at no extra charge whenever Wellington wind or rain renders outdoor crane lifts unsafe. You receive morning-of confirmation so you can plan your day without penalty.
Yes - provided the crane can reach from where the truck is parked and the landing area is structurally sound enough to bear the load weight. Alan verifies reach and structural capacity before confirming any upper-level placements.
