General and specialist transport across Wellington. Containers, site deliveries, difficult access - CDT handles it.
CDT Transport's transportation services cover the full spectrum from straightforward local runs to specialist jobs that require careful planning and the right equipment. The consistent factor is the HIAB - a crane-equipped truck means CDT can handle loading and unloading independently, which opens up a much wider range of delivery locations than a standard flat-deck or curtainsider.
Wellington's geography is not transport-friendly. Steep sites, narrow access roads, urban loading restrictions, and the city's general topographic awkwardness mean that getting something to its final location often requires more thought than simply driving there. CDT has the equipment and the experience to solve those last-hundred-metres problems that defeat standard transport operators.
General transport covers the everyday moves. Site deliveries for contractors and builders who need materials placed precisely on a building site. Container transport for storage containers and transportable buildings. difficult-access specialist is where CDT genuinely excels - the jobs where the address is straightforward but the actual delivery location is not.
Builders, contractors, homeowners, artists - sooner or later almost everyone hits the point where they need a crane truck rather than a standard delivery. The advantage of general transport is that one truck handles the lifting and the moving together. No juggling a separate crane hire, no trying to coordinate two operators who've never met.
A compact truck threads its way up Wellington's punishing driveways and slots into confined spaces where larger cranes wouldn't stand a chance. Alan assesses the site before the lift, rigs it properly, and places the load exactly where it needs to go - one point of contact from quote to completion.

Based in Wellington city and up against a tight turnaround? It helps enormously when your operator knows every suburb intimately. Newtown's impossibly narrow streets, Kelburn's driveways that seem designed to test your nerve, Miramar's coastal gusts barrelling in from three directions at once - Alan's navigated all of it, hundreds of times over. Local transport within Wellington means urgent jobs, same-day lifts, and inner-city deliveries become straightforward when the operator already knows what's waiting around each corner.
| What You Get | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Fast response times | Your project keeps moving |
| Minimal disruption | Neighbours stay happy |
| Direct communication with Alan | No delays waiting for messages to filter through an office |
Not every project sits conveniently in the city. Maybe yours is out in the Hutt Valley, up in Porirua, strung along the Kapiti Coast, or tucked away in the Wairarapa. The same truck and operator handle your lift with identical care regardless of where in the region the job lands - regional transport reaches Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, Paraparaumu, and out to the Wairarapa when the project demands it.
Rural driveways, coastal wind exposure, regional council restrictions - Alan knows the surprises each of these can spring before he arrives on site. Flexible timing accommodates longer travel distances, and one operator spanning the entire Greater Wellington region means consistent service and genuine accountability, not a different face every time.
Regional Transport Details →Construction crews, contractors, and demolition teams need materials placed exactly where they belong - not dumped vaguely nearby and left for someone else to wrestle into position. Manual handling chews through time and is genuinely dangerous. Site deliveries put steel beams, timber packs, and heavy equipment exactly on your mark, with Alan's stage and rigging background covering load ratings, site safety, and working alongside your foreman so deliveries land when your crew is actually ready.
On-site cartage runs smoothly when the operator genuinely understands construction workflows and can adapt on the fly. Decades of Wellington building experience mean the delivery happens without a hitch, even when site conditions shift between booking day and delivery day.
Site Delivery Details →Shifting a shipping container is no small undertaking, and most people would rather not hire a crane on top of a truck if they can avoid it. Whether you're moving freight or positioning a site office, container transport with HIAB capability eliminates the need for additional equipment - depot-to-warehouse runs, port-to-premises transfers, and site office placement all happen in a single visit.
Alan knows CentrePort well and has a firm handle on Wellington's port access routes, which translates to smooth coordination with container depots and shipping schedules. Standard and high-cube containers are both handled safely, and placement still happens cleanly even on uneven ground at sites like Seaview or Gracefield.

Got a challenging site - a steep section, a narrow right-of-way, a cramped urban plot hemmed in on all sides? Chances are you've already heard "sorry, can't do it" from at least one other operator. Decades spent navigating stage rigging and art installations have given Alan an almost uncanny ability to solve access problems that others write off as impossible - sculptures manoeuvred into gallery courtyards, machinery lowered to basement sites, materials hoisted over fences and buildings through gaps that barely look wide enough.
When other operators say it can't be done, difficult-access specialist work finds the angle and makes the lift. A site visit beforehand plans the method and confirms feasibility, rigging expertise navigates awkward angles and razor-thin clearances, and patience on the day turns a tricky lift into a safe, clean delivery.
People often stand there, genuinely baffled, wondering how on earth the cargo ended up where it did. That's simply what happens when tight-access cartage meets Wellington's most unforgiving sites.
