Machinery Transport – Big or Small

We safely transport construction machinery, forestry gear, and agricultural equipment - from small machines to large excavators. Each load is handled carefully with the right equipment, properly secured, and delivered on time.

Oversized Freight Shipping

For freight exceeding standard dimensions, AC98 provides custom oversized freight solutions. Every detail is planned, including route selection, permits, and specialised equipment, ensuring wide, tall, or heavy loads are delivered efficiently and safely.

Container Transport When You Need It

While our main focus is machinery transport, we can also provide container transport from ports to sites. This secondary service is reliable when required, without taking resources from our primary machinery transport operations.

Long-Haul and Regional Freight Solutions

AC98 handles both local and long-distance jobs with expertise in North Island freight solutions, particularly in Hawke’s Bay, Gisborne, and Auckland. Clear communication and safe delivery are guaranteed.

With premium detailing by Klos Custom Trucks and a specialised fit-out that includes a 90mm fixed compensating fifth wheel and advanced hydraulics, this truck offers control, reliability and performance across every job. Whether it’s quarry gear, civil plant or agricultural machinery, it’s equipped to move it.
