General Transport - Wellington

Wellington transport for business and residential. Pickup to delivery - with crane-assisted loading as standard.

Wellington General Transport

CDT Transport's general transport service covers the full range of everyday Wellington transport requirements - goods and items that need moving from A to B efficiently, safely, and with the delivery properly completed at the destination. The HIAB crane on CDT's truck means 'properly completed' includes placement, not just delivery to the kerb.

General transport with CDT suits residential customers with items too large for a van, businesses needing regular or one-off freight runs across Wellington, tradespeople who need supplies transported to their jobs, and anyone who has an item that requires more than a courier but doesn't necessarily need a specialised service. If you're not sure which CDT service fits your job, general transport is the right starting point - call Alan and describe what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size loads can a small truck HIAB handle in Wellington?

Typical loads range from 500 kg art pieces right through to 3-tonne machinery. The exact capacity depends on boom extension and ground stability, so Alan assesses each site individually to confirm safe lifting limits for your specific job.

Can general transport reach properties without vehicle access?

Absolutely. The crane boom extends over fences, garages, or slopes while the truck stays put on the street. This setup suits Wellington hillside homes and heritage precincts with restricted entry, delivering loads that would otherwise need manual handling or specialised access gear.

Do you cover urgent same-day deliveries across the Wellington region?

Subject to availability, same-day bookings suit time-critical construction or event needs in Wellington, Lower Hutt, Porirua, and the Kapiti Coast when weather and traffic conditions allow. Get in touch early in the day for the best chance of locking in an urgent slot.

How does wind affect crane lifts in Wellington?

Lifts pause or get rescheduled when gusts climb above safe limits. Alan monitors conditions constantly, especially on exposed coastal sites in Miramar or along the Kapiti Coast, putting safety ahead of speed to protect your cargo.

What types of jobs count as general transport?

Any task combining truck delivery with crane lifting qualifies. Building supplies, heavy appliances, demolition material, industrial equipment, outdoor furniture, and art installations throughout the Wellington region all fall comfortably within general transport scope.

Can you navigate tight CBD laneways and hillside streets?

Small-truck dimensions and decades of Wellington experience let CDT access colonial-era lanes, steep Northland grades, and zero-clearance townhouse developments. Bigger rigs simply cannot get into these spaces - but CDT's compact setup reaches them safely and efficiently.
