We are A&K Cranes. A 100% locally owned family business serving Christchurch, Timaru, and the entire South Island. We combine three generations of transport history with modern lifting technology.
Founded in 2018 by Adam and Kirsty Trezise, A&K Cranes was built to fill a gap in the market: a crane company that is easy to deal with. We don’t hide behind call centres. When you call us, you speak to the owners.
We carry the legacy of three generations in the heavy trucking industry (dating back to the 1920s), bringing an old-school work ethic to modern construction projects.
We are the team you call when you want it done right the first time. No confusing jargon, no hidden fees, and no “too hard” basket. Just honest work from a local family business that takes pride in solving your problems.
We don't hide costs. You get a clear, competitive price and honest advice on exactly what gear is right for the job. No surprises.
You talk directly to the owners, Adam and Kirsty. We are local, we answer the phone, and we are ready to help you 24/7.
We follow strict safety rules and all NZ laws. We treat your property, your load, and your site with total respect to ensure zero damage.
Tight spots? Heavy loads? Weird angles? We love the tricky jobs that other companies turn down. We work smarter to get it done.
We aren’t just here to lift things; we are here to build relationships. Whether it’s a multi-million dollar wind farm project or a backyard spa pool lift, we treat every customer with the same level of respect and safety.
This isn’t a board-run corporation; it’s a husband-and-wife team.
Adam Trezise brings over 20 years of hands-on experience in the mobile crane sector. He is the technical brain, managing high-profile lifts and complex wind farm constructions. If it needs lifting, Adam knows how to do it safely.
Kirsty Trezise is the organizational powerhouse. She ensures the daily operations run smoothly, coordinating schedules and handling the logistics so our team arrives on time, every time.
Together, they lead a team of skilled professionals who care about your project as much as you do.
Our operators are fully certified, site-safe, and experienced. They are the ones making the impossible look easy every day.
Whether you have a question, need more details about our services, or want to discuss a potential collaboration, we’re here to help.
