Thread: Need transport help for cnc lathe

Wondering if anyone knows of a truck, 5ton+, that might be going Auckland to Timaru, South Island.

There's a cnc lathe I'm hoping to move. Half thought of buying a truck and then selling it down here.
Machines about 4.5t, 3x1.8x1.8meter

Maybe someone wants to buy a truck up there and I would pay ferry etc to get it here.

Open to loads of options

Try findatruckload
Google it

Or ask a local freight firm about back loads

Or PTS Palmerston Transport Solutions

Really good operators and if they can't do it they will advise who will

try any of the south island boat builders, Stabicraft, McLay etc, they all ship boats to Auckland and most have own trucks now,maybe as a backload?

Go and ask Scott Machinery, I've always found them great to deal with.
I bought a lathe in ChCh and they transported it for me, I talked to them about an item from Auckland and they would rig it and transport it for me.

For items like that I'd rather have someone who knows what they are doing
