Machinery Delivery - Wellington
New or purchased machinery delivered from supplier to your Wellington site - and crane-positioned ready for installation.
New or purchased machinery delivered from supplier to your Wellington site - and crane-positioned ready for installation.
Buying a new machine for your workshop or business is straightforward. Getting it from the supplier or dealer to its final installed position is the harder part. CDT Transport handles machinery delivery from the supplier (or port, or auction yard) to your Wellington premises - and uses the HIAB crane to position it correctly at the destination, so it arrives ready for connection rather than sitting in the car park waiting for a forklift.
The distinction between delivery and positioning matters for machinery. A machine dropped at the workshop door is a machine you still need to install. CDT's crane can lift machinery off the truck and lower it precisely into position in the workshop - between other machines, against a specific wall, aligned with a power supply - saving the separate rigging or forklift hire that would otherwise be needed at the installation end.
CDT regularly handles collection from TradeMe auction pickups, equipment dealers, and port collections - machinery purchased in Wellington or arriving into the port that needs to go to a workshop or business premises. Alan can coordinate collection and delivery as a single booking. Call 027 444 2191 to discuss your machinery delivery.
HIAB capacity suits equipment up to several tonnes, including workshop lathes, generators, and compressors that fit within truck bed dimensions and crane reach limits. Alan assesses weight, dimensions, and centre of gravity during site planning to confirm everything's suitable. Equipment that exceeds HIAB capacity needs a different crane solution, which he can arrange through his industry network.
Rated lifting straps, padded contact points, and smooth hydraulic control prevent shock and surface damage throughout the entire move. Alan inspects every contact point before lifting and adjusts rigging to distribute the load evenly. Your machinery receives gentle acceleration and deceleration that safeguards internal components and painted finishes alike.
Yes - decades of working in stage environments and tight construction zones means Alan can place gear over fences, through narrow gaps, or onto upper floors where access permits. He surveys the site beforehand to determine lifting angles and clearance paths. Your equipment reaches its final position even when conventional delivery methods simply can't get in.
Coverage extends across Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, Kāpiti Coast, and Wairarapa for industrial and construction equipment moves. Alan travels to rural properties and remote construction sites throughout the greater Wellington region. Your machinery delivery receives the same meticulous handling regardless of location.
Wellington wind conditions are monitored closely - it's not optional in this city. Deliveries reschedule when safe crane operation can't be guaranteed, protecting both equipment and people. Alan gets in touch as soon as forecasts indicate unsafe conditions to arrange the next available slot. Your machinery stays secure until conditions allow safe handling and transport.
Get in touch as early as you can, particularly for tricky site access or time-sensitive production schedules. Urgent moves are fitted in based on current workload. Alan prioritises equipment deliveries that affect production deadlines or project milestones. Your planning benefits from an early conversation about access challenges and timing options - the sooner he knows, the better he can prepare.
