What we lift on site across Canterbury

From residential new builds to large commercial sites, the material list is familiar — trusses, frames, steel, timber and pallets arriving on flat decks that need lifting into position. We work alongside your site crew and delivery drivers to get materials placed correctly and the truck on its way.

Builders and construction companies

Roof trusses, pre-nailed frames, structural steel beams, roofing materials and general site deliveries. We work with residential and commercial builders across Christchurch and Canterbury, running hiab lifts on schedule around your build programme.

Timber, steel and material suppliers

Timber packs, steel beams, framing, trusses, roofing packs and oversized building components. We work alongside your delivery drivers to get materials placed on site quickly. No waiting around for another truck.

Civil and drainage contractors

Pipes, drainage components, civil materials, tanks and heavy awkward site gear that standard site machinery cannot reach or handle safely. We take on civil lifts for contractors across Christchurch and Canterbury.

Signage and commercial installations

Large commercial signs, building signage and structures that need lifting into position at height. We work with signwriters, building owners and commercial contractors to get signage placed safely where site machinery or manual handling can't reach. Send us the dimensions and location and we'll confirm if we can do it.

What to expect on the day

On time, on site, materials placed correctly. That's the job.
