Moving construction machinery and site equipment across New Zealand requires expert coordination, the right vehicles, and strict safety compliance. Whether it’s an excavator heading to a new job site, a scissor lift for hire delivery, or plant machinery moving between depots, choosing the right transport partner makes all the difference.
OTS Group has over 50 years of experience in Construction Equipment & Machinery Transport, providing safe, fully insured delivery for builders, contractors, and plant hire companies across both islands.
1. Why Specialist Construction Transport Matters
Construction machinery isn’t like a regular vehicle — it’s often oversized, heavy, and equipped with hydraulics or attachments that make loading more complex. Using general towing equipment can lead to damage, compliance issues, or even road hazards.
Our fleet includes hydraulic tilt trays, low loaders, and tracked equipment transporters designed specifically for heavy-duty construction machinery. Each operator is trained to handle a wide range of vehicles safely and efficiently.
2. What We Transport
We move a wide range of construction and site machinery, including:
- Excavators, skid steers, and loaders
- Forklifts, scissor lifts, and boom lifts
- Generators and compressors
- Tracked and wheeled machinery
- Site trailers and small plant vehicles
We provide both long-distance and intercity transport options, offering flexibility for short-term or ongoing construction projects.
3. Safety & Compliance First
OTS Group operates under strict NZTA and WorkSafe NZ compliance guidelines for heavy transport. All loads are secured using certified restraints and undergo pre- and post-trip inspections. Our operators are trained to manage oversized and overweight permits, ensuring every job meets legal and safety standards.
4. Preparing Your Equipment for Transport
Before pickup, it helps to:
- Clean off mud, soil, and loose debris.
- Secure or remove attachments like buckets or arms.
- Drain excess fuel and check for leaks.
- Ensure access to the site for loading vehicles.
For large or wide loads, we handle all required NZTA over-dimension permits and arrange pilot vehicles where necessary.
5. Nationwide Coverage for the Construction Industry
With depots in Auckland and Christchurch, we provide complete national coverage for builders, developers, and plant hire companies. Whether it’s a one-off move or ongoing site-to-site transport, OTS Group delivers reliability and care on every job.
6. Fully Insured & Experienced Operators
All construction equipment transport is fully insured from pickup to drop-off. Our experienced team knows how to secure, load, and deliver heavy machinery safely — even in tight access or remote job sites.
