Heavy lifting requires smart planning. Explore our latest guides, project updates, and expert tips to help you make the right choices for your next lift or transport job in Canterbury.
We cover the entire Canterbury region, with main depots in Christchurch (Rolleston) and Timaru (Washdyke). We regularly travel to Ashburton, the Mackenzie District, and the West Coast for specific projects. If you are in the South Island, give us a call.
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We understand that construction, shutdowns, and emergency recoveries don’t always happen between 9 and 5. You can reach our operations team at any time on 027 480 1657.
No. All our cranes and heavy trucks come with a fully qualified and experienced operator (known as “Wet Hire”). This ensures the safety of your site and compliance with NZ WorkSafe regulations. You provide the load; we provide the expert.
Every job is different. Costs depend on the size of the crane, the travel time to your site, and the complexity of the lift. We don’t have a “one-size-fits-all” price, but we are happy to provide a free, no-obligation quote over the phone or via email.
A Hiab (Crane Truck) can lift an item and carry it on its own deck, perfect for delivering timber or spa pools. A Mobile Crane is strictly for lifting; it has a much longer reach and higher capacity but cannot carry goods on the road.
Yes. If you are moving a portable building or heavy machinery that is over-width, we manage the entire process. This includes arranging Class 1 and Class 2 Pilot Vehicles, bridge engineering checks, and council permits.
Yes, we do this regularly! We will measure the “radius” (the distance from where the crane parks to where the spa needs to go) to ensure we bring a machine with a long enough boom to reach safely over your roof.
Safety is our priority. For every job, we can provide Site-Specific Safety Plans (SSSP), Lift Plans, and evidence of our operators’ NZQA qualifications. Our equipment undergoes strict daily checks and annual certification.
