Rural Delivery - Wellington & Wairarapa
Farm gates, lifestyle blocks, rural tracks. CDT delivers to where the sealed road ends - and can still unload when it gets there.

Rural delivery is one area where the HIAB crane makes an especially significant difference. At a rural property, the delivery truck can often only get as far as the gate or the end of the formed track. What happens after that is usually a problem. CDT's crane means that what needs to go to the shed, the paddock, or the remote corner of the property can be unloaded precisely from whatever position the truck can safely reach - without a tractor, without a forklift, without a manual labour problem.
CDT delivers to rural addresses around Wellington - the hills behind the Hutt Valley, the hill farms of the Remutaka ranges, Kapiti hinterland properties, and regularly into the Wairarapa. The Wairarapa run - Masterton, Carterton, Greytown, Martinborough, and the farms between - is a regular part of CDT's work.
The Wairarapa is underserved by crane-equipped delivery, and CDT fills that gap. For Wairarapa rural customers who regularly need Wellington pickups or suppliers who deliver into the Wairarapa, CDT can establish a regular delivery run arrangement. Discuss with Alan on 027 444 2191.
Rural delivery encompasses properties beyond the main town centres - farms, lifestyle blocks, and sites with limited road access across Wairarapa, Kapiti, and the outer Hutt areas. These locations typically lack loading equipment and often present challenging access. The service extends to any property where standard couriers either can't deliver or can't safely unload heavy materials.
Absolutely. CDT's compact crane truck handles steep driveways and uneven terrain that's characteristic of Wellington hill properties. The crane's reach extends over obstacles including fences and sheds. Alan assesses your specific site conditions during booking to confirm he can get through without issues.
Same-day service is available for urgent rural jobs across the Wellington region, subject to location and Alan's current schedule. He prioritises time-sensitive deliveries aligned with weather windows or project deadlines. Ring early in the day for the best availability on urgent bookings.
Not at all. The truck-mounted crane unloads and positions materials without requiring forklifts, loading docks, or a ground crew. The crane handles all lifting and placement directly from the truck. You simply need to ensure there's clear access to where you'd like things placed.
CDT's truck capacity suits building materials, machinery, water tanks, and equipment typical for farm and lifestyle block projects. Alan handles loads too large for couriers but still practical given rural access constraints. Specific weight and size limits are something he'll discuss when you book.
Strong winds may delay crane operations for safety reasons, particularly at exposed Wairarapa or coastal Kapiti sites - and let's face it, Wellington wind is in a league of its own. Alan monitors conditions closely and reschedules if the weather makes crane work unsafe. Rain doesn't usually stop the job unless site access becomes too boggy to safely drive on.
