CDT Transport handles the movement and positioning of shipping containers, storage containers, and transportable buildings across the Wellington region. The HIAB crane is central to this - placing a 20-foot shipping container precisely on a concrete pad, or manoeuvring a storage unit into a tight position on a rural property, requires crane control that standard container transport doesn't always include.
The key for container work is precise final positioning. Getting a container to the right address is a standard transport task. Getting it onto the right pad, at the right angle, level and secure in a location that may have limited access - that's where CDT's crane capability and Alan's experience makes the difference. Describe your container placement requirement when you call, so Alan can assess whether the positioning is straightforward or needs a more detailed plan.
Wellington's topography creates challenging container placement situations regularly. Steep lifestyle blocks where the target pad isn't directly accessible from the road, city properties where the only access is through a narrow side gate, rural properties where the ground away from the sealed surface is unstable - CDT has placed containers in all of these situations and can assess the feasibility of your site from a description or a site visit.
Call Alan on 027 444 2191 to discuss container transport and placement in Wellington.
Same-day or next-day delivery is often available, though it depends on the current job schedule and whether your container is ready to go. Best bet is to give Alan a ring and check availability for your preferred date - he'll be straight with you.
Yes, provided the crane reach and site conditions stack up. Overhead wires, tree branches, and ground stability are all assessed before the lift goes ahead. Alan measures clearances and confirms everything checks out during the booking process.
Foundation pads or timber blocking should be level and robust enough to handle the weight. The operator verifies that placement meets your requirements on the day. Alan is more than happy to talk you through preparation when you first get in touch - no charge for advice.
The truck stays on sealed surfaces wherever possible. Because of the crane's reach, it rarely needs to drive onto soft ground or paving at all. Alan always talks through access routes and positioning before turning up, so there are no surprises.
Absolutely - CDT's service covers Greater Wellington, including Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Porirua, Paraparaumu, and the Wairarapa. Travel costs are folded into standard pricing for these areas.
Flexible scheduling means CDT can usually accommodate time-critical jobs. Call to discuss availability for urgent lifts - Alan genuinely does his best to sort same-day requests when the schedule allows it.
