Workshop machinery, industrial equipment, commercial plant. Transported safely with proper rigging and positioned correctly at the new site.
Transporting machinery requires more than a forklift and a truck. The combination of rigging knowledge and crane capability that CDT brings to machinery freight means that awkward-shaped loads, machines with non-obvious lift points, and equipment going into confined spaces are all handled properly - not improvised on the day.
Alan has transported machinery for Wellington workshops, commercial kitchens, fabrication facilities, breweries, and light industrial premises. The common challenge across all of these is that the machinery needs to end up in a specific place - often inside a building, through a specific access point, and positioned precisely for installation. The HIAB's control allows that precision. The rigging knowledge means the lift path is planned correctly before anything moves.
For businesses relocating within Wellington or to a new premises, CDT can handle the machinery portion of the job - the items that are too heavy for removal specialists and too specialist for a standard freight run. CDT works alongside other trades and contractors in the relocation process, fitting around building access windows and installation schedules.
If you're planning a business relocation that includes machinery, contact Alan early in the planning process on 027 444 2191. Getting the machinery freight logistics right from the start avoids the common pattern of the job being held up waiting for crane hire at the last minute.
