Our Fleet

Our fleet operates seven days per week, 24 hours per day offering the added advantage of overnight container deliveries allowing you to plan your activities based on the knowledge and peace of mind that your containers will be safely waiting for you on site the next day.

  • Twenty-Forty Swinglifts
  • 20/20 Truck and Trailer units 
  • 20/40 Mini lifters for empty movements. 
  • Access to low-tare skeletal trailers, flat-decks and tipper units

Our Auckland and Wellington Port Operations are located right on the wharf. This allows efficient processing of paperwork and clear lines of communication allow any MAF Biosecurity or Customs issues to be resolved quickly and in person.
