If it fits in a box,
anyone can move it.
We move the rest.
Heavy lifts, out-of-gauge machinery, multi-modal project shipments, and site deliveries to remote locations. Freight Direct has experience across large-scale project logistics — from pre-shipment survey through to craned placement on site.
Project cargo demands planning, permits, and precise coordination. We assign a dedicated project manager, produce method statements and route surveys, and manage every stakeholder from origin agent to site foreman.
OOG
Out-of-Gauge Cargo
Cargo that exceeds standard container dimensions. We arrange flat racks, open tops, and specialist lifting equipment, and manage permits for road transport.
HVY
Heavy Lift
Machinery, transformers, industrial plant — we work with certified riggers and specialist lifting equipment. Survey reports and method statements provided.
MULTI
Multi-Modal
Complex shipments that move by air, sea, and road — sequenced and managed as one project, not three separate bookings.
SITE
Site Delivery
Construction sites, remote locations, power stations, ports — we handle last-mile delivery to wherever the project is, including within facility perimeters.
STORE
Project Storage
Staged storage for project cargo arriving ahead of schedule. We hold, protect, and release to site as construction timelines demand.
DOCS
Documentation
Technical cargo often needs specialist documentation — dangerous goods declarations, MSDS, ATA carnets, temporary import bonds. We handle it.
01
Pre-Shipment Survey
We review cargo specs, route constraints, port and site access, and regulatory requirements. You get a detailed project plan before anything moves.
02
Permits & Compliance
Oversize permits, NZTA heavy haulage approvals, MPI biosecurity for new plant and machinery — we manage the regulatory track while you manage the project.
03
Coordinated Movement
Origin agent, carrier, port, customs, and final-mile delivery coordinated through a single project manager. One point of contact throughout.
04
Site Handover
Delivery to site with documentation, photographic record, and proof of delivery. Crane lifts and placement coordinated where required.
