Meet the ManaLift team
Certified hiab operators
Experienced, certified, and careful with the stuff that matters.
ManaLift is a Christchurch-based hiab hire service built by the same team behind Affordable Moving Solutions. We've spent years moving the hard stuff — heavy, awkward, difficult-access loads that standard delivery won't touch. Spa pools over fences. Building materials onto tight sites. Containers, tanks, machinery, and everything in between.
We're a small, local operation and that's exactly how we like it. One truck, one team, one point of contact. When you book with ManaLift, you're dealing with the people who actually show up and do the job.

Owned and operated by the Affordable Moving Solutions whānau
ManaLift is owned and operated by Josh and Sharni — the same team behind Affordable Moving Solutions, one of Christchurch's most trusted and well-known moving companies.
The values that built AMS — care, reliability, and doing the job properly — are the same values ManaLift runs on.
When you book with ManaLift, you're getting that same family-business commitment, just with a hiab truck. Local knowledge, genuine service, and a team that takes the same pride in your job as they would their own.
What we stand for
Hard work, straight talk, and getting it done right.
Reliable
When we say we'll be there, we're there. No last-minute cancellations, no passing the job off. You booked us, we show up.
Straight up
You'll get a straight answer on whether we can do the job and what it'll cost. No runaround, no hidden extras, no surprises on the invoice.
Careful with the heavy stuff
Spa pools, containers, tanks — this gear is expensive and awkward. We treat every load like it matters, because it does.
Canterbury through and through
Born and bred locally. We know the streets, the sections, the tight driveways and sloping sites. This is our backyard.
